The Gladio SC (single channel), is designed to offer the same sound of the "big brother" Gladio but in a smaller and compact size.
While the Gladio double channel was inspire by the artists like Robben Ford and Sonny Landreth, the Gladio SC tries to take a step closer to the Steve Ray Vaughan sound, which was achieved using a Dumble amplifier too.
The Gladio SC is based on the Gladio 1st channel, with the exact same sound and controls, except for the new CLEAN knob. This addition makes a very big difference, as the clean signal is taken directly at the input of the pedal and mixed back with the overdriven signal at the output. The result is having a "clean layer" on top of the overdrive sound, which helps a lot to achieve classic Texas-blues sounds.
A Clean knob like this affects 3 parameters all at once (you can notice their change sweeping the Clean from zero to even a 40% rotation):
- Bottom End: the sound becomes fatter
- Compression: The non-compressed clean sound comes into the mix, and the change in compression is particularly accentuated on the attack.
- Saturation: When the clean sound comes into the mix the final output sound becomes hotter, and it’s able to better push the front end of the amp.
