Description

The fusion of two of Cornerstone’s most iconic circuits — GLADIO and ANTIQUE —Imperium V2 is the ultimate dual overdrive pedal. Independently dynamic, ferocious when stacked. With four I/O jacks for full routing control, a versatile tone-shaping section, and intuitive controls like CLEAN, COLOR, PRESENCE, and COMP, Imperium is your new sonic centerpiece.

Gentle, Dynamic, Yet Powerful

Explore the dual nature of the Imperium V2.
From smooth, touch-sensitive overdrive to raw rock tones—use each side on its own or stack them for a wall of sound that’s articulate and powerful. A modern classic with vintage soul.

Gladio SC Side

On the Gladio SC side, the CLEAN knob lets you blend your dry signal with the overdriven tone—giving you total control over dynamics and clarity.
The result? A touch-sensitive overdrive that feels like an extension of your fingers.

Antique Side

On the Antique side, the PRESENCE knob adjusts the high-frequency content after the clipping stage—perfect for dialing in just the right amount of brightness to cut through the mix. Turn it up for added edge and clarity that cuts through the mix, or roll it back for warmer, vintage-flavored tones.

Stack & Reorder Each Side Onto Eachother

Imperium V2 is equipped with four separate I/O jacks—one for each side’s input and output—giving you maximum flexibility in any rig. Use the Gladio and Antique circuits as two completely independent pedals, perfect for pedal switchers and advanced routing setups. Insert effects between the two channels (like a modulation or fuzz), or reorder the signal path to fit your personal flow.
