This is a New Cornerstone Antique V3 Overdrive Pedal in Surf Green from Cornerstone Pedals, now available in the Guitar Pedals category on Guitars Pedals Amps and Stuff.. Read More below.

Description

Cornerstone Antique V3 is the answer to everyone wanting a John Mayer tone with more control over tone and dynamics.

The pedal is based on the classic sounds from a Tube Screamer pedal. Don’t worry, the overdrive is not a clone, but while it definitely belongs to the Screamer-like family of overdrives, It has a well-defined tone specifically tweaked to achieve the bluesy sounds of John Mayer.

The Gain and Volume controls are pretty much self explaining. The TONE control: it manages the low-mid frequency content. The PRESENCE control: it shapes the hi-mids and high-end content.  MIDS (cut) toggle switch: it manages the overall mids content, in UP position is the classic TS mids, in DOWN position mids are cut. Finally, the COMP switch is managing the overall dynamic response of the pedal.

The Antique requires a standard 9V DC Negative power supply only (not included).

More info about this Product

Guitar Pedals

Guitar pedals are compact effects units that shape and enhance a guitar’s sound, sitting between the instrument and the amplifier. They include gain pedals like overdrive and distortion, modulation effects such as chorus and tremolo, time-based effects like delay and reverb, and essential utilities including tuners, compressors and loopers. Understanding basic things such as pedal type, signal order, power requirements and intended use helps players choose pedals that suit their style, setup and playing environment.

Overdrive Pedals

Overdrive uses soft or moderate clipping to add harmonics and compression while retaining more of the original note shape than heavy distortion. Some circuits emphasise the midrange and trim bass before clipping; others remain broad, transparent or amplifier-like. Gain, clipping arrangement, headroom and tone filtering decide whether it supplies a light edge, a saturated drive sound or extra push into another gain stage.
