Gladio SC (single channel ) is designed to offer the same sound of the "big brother" Gladio but in a smaller and more compact size.

While the Gladio double channel was inspired by the blues and fusion sounds from the greats like Robben Ford, the Gladio SC tries to take a step closer to the Steve Ray Vaughan sound.

The Gladio SC is based on the Gladio 1st channel, with the exact same sound and controls, except for the added new CLEAN BLEND knob. The clean signal is taken directly at the input of the pedal and mixed back with the overdriven signal at the output, the CLEAN knob thus manages the volume of the clean signal mixed with the overdrive sound, which helps a lot to achieve that specific blues sound in your head.

A Clean knob like this affects 3 parameters all at once (you can notice their change sweeping the Clean from zero to for instance 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.
