We all know you can shred like a beast, but I gotta say your video edits and production have also become pro level. Thanks for all the content
sorry if i upset anybody (companies etc)...but i don't come here for the reviews, i come here for the playing!!!! WTF... that intro jam!!!!
Thats why they use him.....frickin monster player...IMO one of the best out here today....would loooove to see a G3 ....Bonnamassa, Johnson and Tubbs....maybe Josh Smith and Andy Wood too ...thrown in for good measure
😂truth be told so do I 😅
I have a Cornerstone Sparkle overdrive , great transparency and touch sensitive, this is a small company in Italy , husband and wife team,and Im going to pick this pedal up also
I saw that on Reverb last night while looking up this pedal. Does the Sparkle overdrive have a similar tone as the Galdio?
Some of those licks were so outside, I had to put on a coat. Freakin me out, dude.
I love it, great comment!
to the wilderness!
Gave me a good laugh, thanks!
Haha! Thanks so much!
I'm stealing this one LOL
I'm really impressed with the quality of sound all the way through the gain. Very useable no matter how ya push it. Great tones. Definitely gotta get me one of these. Fills a void I just can't get with my amp and current OD pedals. Great no nonsense, concise demo too, thanx.
I think the lick from 0:37 to 0:41 is also worthy of a lesson video! I think I'm starting to "get" your shapes, and it's scaring me!
Don’t know if the pedal was your inspiration or not but that intro was on fire! Amazing stuff - and served as real inspiration to me. Off to my woodshed!
I don't make very many comments but this pedal sounds like a dumble & yes the tasty licks are like icing on the cake.
World-class performance from a supremely elegant and lyrical player - Sean has probably sold a hundred units of this sweet Dumble wannabe with this awesome demonstration...
This pedal sounds magical close to D sounds, and your playing is absolutely stellar, too. Many thanks for the demo🙏
My jaw is on the floor - nevermind the damn pedal, WHAT A PLAYER!
YES!
Damn that sounds good. Finally a pedal that REALLY sounds like an amp-in-the-box.
Thank you for this demo, I have a Gladio coming at the end of the month and I have no idea how I'm going to use the two channels. This is the best "setup" style demo on the Tube, thank you! I have a JHS Double Barrel and it's really obvious how to use it (Bluesbreaker + Tubescreamer), but the Cornerstone web page doesn't really give you a lot of "how to." Thanks again!
I was on the fence about spending the $, but after I watched your demo I immediately got online and purchased one!! Fantastic playing as always. Thank YOU!!!
Had to go back and re-listen to this after your recent lesson video - man, there are so many mind-blowing licks in that innocent-sounding shuffle of an opening piece!
Killer playing on the intro! Man, so good. Nicely done on the demo / review
Sounds really awesome, probably the best dumble type pre-amp I have heard and the toggle thing is a great idea, especially since there is plenty of gain on tap.
Really great, Shawn. Enlightening, entertaining and outstanding playing. Thanks again!
Thanks so much for watching and for the kind words Brett! Hope you're doing well.
Outstanding tone, vibe, and playing. Just killer, all the way around
That intro was fantastic, well done Shawn! I gotta subscribe for that.
Thanks so much for subscribing!! I appreciate it.
Got one,yes,it's a great od!Still learning to dial it in.Shawn,your playing amazing as usual
So tremendous!! Damn I love the way you play guitar, it is a tremendous joy to listen to you.
This pedal is crazy good. I have it and I’ll never let it go.
OMG. Your playing on the opening song is crazy good!!! The pedal sounds great
That is one of the most incredible petals I’ve ever heard. That is 100% the Dumble tone. And the stacked channels really captured that saturated it clear Dumble sustain - without any fizz. It really cuts through but it still seems transparent. And of course as always you’re playing is fantastic. You do such a great job demoing these pedals - thanks so much!
I own one and I like it more than my King of Tone, Protein and everything other drive I own lol it’s obviously different than the King of Tone but I also compared to the J Rockett The Dude and the Vertex Ultra Phonix and HRM. While all of the aforementioned pedals are really great pedals, the Gladio seems to be the next level. I’m shocked at how great it is. So glad I bought one. Definitely did not regret spending the money.
@@jordandangelo180 is this a lot like the royal preamp overdrive?
They are pretty classy tones, especially with the Strat.
that was no strat!
@@sugarlife485 I know that myself.
Now that’s a fantastic Dumble type pedal.
thanks!!
Great tones and insanely awesome playing as usual! Your producing skills are excellent too. Best to u man, thanks for this demo!
Jazzstrat: thats what I like!
Dude you really are on another level here.Fagan and Becker (RIP),would love your work.
You're very kind. Thanks so much!
OK.... Shawn..... your trade off on the turn around between Jazz and blues runs..... I am going to have to deconstruct the phrasing.... Love it! I hope my ear is switched on today. lol
Duuuuude! you're on fire! Hold still
while I get an extinguisher...
HAHA! The more inside Shawn has to stay, the more outside he plays. I can't wait to see a video he records next week!
amazing overdrive and awesome player 👏
No fair! You would sound killer through my Grandma’s pig nose!
Great meeting you at Woodshed!
Haha, thanks, Phil! Good to hear from you and I hope you're doing well!
great Robben Ford-ish tones and licks!
Great video Shawn! Very cool outside stuff on that intro!!! Love it!! Great sounding OD too. WANT!!
Pedal sounds fantastic, no doubt. But what really kicks ass is the playing! Holy shit, where you got that sorta chops from? Must be from outa space! Have Mercy!
by far the best reviewer on youtube, criminally few subscribers.
You're very kind, thanks so much!
@@ShawnTubbs i understand why some might not like you. you are very expensive. i have bought quite a few items because of your reviews. now i may just have to get the gladio.
Kingsley makes a few D type pedals, such as the Page DS - lesser known high quality devices.
Take me to church brother! Fantastic breakfast music.
Sound - good of course, when Shawn demos it. But his playing is mind blowing. Wow!
Sweet tone, playing. Great review, love that Dumble sound! Was looking at the Rocket pedals “the dude” version. Might get this instead! Cheers
I got mine few weeks ago. It is really great but it requires you to find out what works and what does not. It's awesome pedal and when you find It's sweet spot It's magical. At sweet spot it's very analytical and will show true character of your pickups. It needs enough volume level on the pedal to do that. Volume will act as boost. It does it great. So lower gain and more Volume works epic in the on the edge of the break up amp. It reacts amp like. It works also as only gain structure into clean amp, but then amount of the gain is up to your taste. Personally I mostly use low output vintage pickups. With the single coil pickups gain is good and for me can go up to 12 o'clock. Though I rather have it between 9 and 12. With very loud guitar with low output humbuckers I find gain nice between 8 and 10 or alternatively for higher compression drives around 1 o'clock. What it doesn't do is to keep the gain and tone in situation where you want to use pedals level to keep the tone but lower overall output to very quiet bedroom level. Most other pedals do this but this one is true to It's preamp name and requires some Volume to make a tone and gain structure. Similar how you need to reach certain volume level on the tube amp that you start getting awesome tone out of it. Without needed level it will sound like way cheaper pedals. But with enough volume level it will bring you true happiness. It changes so much that it's funny. If you do not find good spot you will be disappointed big time. But when you find it you will be like is this same pedal? It loves EP Booster in it. Even with min setting on it (+3 dB) it brings even more life into the picture. Pedal has enough dynamic that will award you and compliment high dynamic amps. With great amp it will sound visceral and will bring out best out of the amp. On lot of overdrive pedals when you switch between neck and bridge humbucker on LP style guitar you will hear mostly EQ difference. Neck will be more bass heavy and bridge will cut more. Clean you will hear essential difference between them that you will lose in overdrive sounds of most of the pedals. With Gladio DC you will still be able to hear the character of the each pickup but with nice overdrive on top of it. Something really refreshing. This is great pedal to integrate in high end system. It will not ruin the fidelity and character of your guitar or amp it will just provide nice overdrive. If you you lover the volume on the pedal to much it will lose it's magic and sound will not be alive as before. I love it. In room with real beast of the boutique amp working at higher sound levels it will bring you closest one can get without getting 40 plus K $ and getting a real thing.
Super rad pedal. Very nice playing too.
Watching your videos always makes me want to learn guitar even more!
Great demo and the intro is fantastic! Love the burning Robben-esque stuff you're playing...
How on earth have I not heard of this guy before ??? So tasty ! ... I dig the pedal too ;)
Thanks again for your incredible musicianship. Your ears seem to be perfectly tuned. Always looking forward to your next video.
Dare I make a suggestion? It would be so great if you could try od/distortion pedals with an amplifier that is already quite crunchy for us who already have a "good sound" but want to get some more of it.
Thanks for watching and for the kind words and the suggestion.
Dude you’re a joy to hear👍🎸 I have a sneaking feeling this pedal would totally kill if I added it to my Helix [Use a Helix direct in P.A. for live gigs]
WOW! That thing LOVES semi-hollow body guitars!!!
Awesome Pedal & Playing !!!
Cheers from Bali 🍻🤘🙌
Thanks very much for watching and for the kind words!
Shawn Tubbs Your welcome !!!
great sounding pedal! and as always great playing!
Love it .......both pedal and Playing outside..... Awesome
Interesting. So this is like two pedals in one box? Allows for a sequence of cascading gains (along with preamp stage of the amplifier) and/or a crunch/lead setup. I’m gladio you didio this videodio!
😂
This one actually sounds like a dumble!! Awesome!!
Love the delayed resolution to the 4 chord. Nice.
Digging that B section on that blues!!! Great stuff!
Dude that intro was INSANE !!!
nice pedal you even managed to pull off an srv tone .i got to see stevie once and he did have a dumble. when you were in dual mode to me it came across as a revv g3 not sure if you noticed that
Far out Shawn. Just off the charts playing mate. I had to watch the into 4 times before I could get to the rest of the video.
I like it & never sought after a Dumble of any sound.
Great man I love your videos, but there’s always a concern with every demo you do - I hope you have a fire extinguisher at your reach😝
Great sound and playing Shawn, loved your licks.
Your inside-outside-lines are really unique !
Well that opening was sick! Interesting pedal that has been going around TH-cam lately. Seems to have more gain than Clon style pedals but similar mids to me at least on the computer with headphones.
A few nice Robben licks in there. And a lot of great Tubbs-isms. Pedal sounds heavier than some others of the Dumble-esque ilk, like the Ethos or Fuchs, even the Zendrive. Matter of taste I guess. Sounded more like Pete Townsend tones to me than Robben/Eric. Still, nice box. Very thick overall. Certainly can get some Talk To Your Daughter stuff out of it. Nice dual channel. Another to add to the never ending list of pedals to own lol. Some dual HB examples would have been nice to visit.
A sound to die for...
As I mentioned in my post below Shawn, and my challenge to find a Justin Hayward sound, I'm here to tell you I found it! It's a Fender Pelt distortion pedal. After hours of listening to dozens of youtube's and pedals that particular pedal has the stuff. I just tried it out today and my search is complete.
Glad you chased it down man!
I'd already preordered the pedal, but thanks for confirming that I did the right thing / melting my face.
love the quack of that Eastman. I'd like to buy one someday.
Monster playing Shawn. 🎸💥👊🏼💯
Mr TUBBS, Cornerstone Gladio SC preamp pedal just came out but I don't hear how it can sound like SRV dumble tones or SRV texas tones. What are the settings of the knobs to get those Texas Tones?
I'll be releasing a demo video of the SC in the very near future.
@@ShawnTubbs sounds good I can't wait to see it to get those texas glassy tones using the SC
@@waynegram8907 have you seen the video?
Sounds great. But do we really need another D-style box?
00:30 to 00:51... Alien! ❤️
Wow Shawn, that intro inspired me! Inspired me to give up and sell all my gear 🙃
Oh c'mon now!
I'll beekeeping my ears and eyes on this pedal great video
Woah, Robben Ford in a box!
Thanks... Robben uses it in fact... I'm so stocked for this!
m@n you've got a bunch of really really cool blues jazzy chops ...im so impressed !!!!
Is it a preamp or a o.d. pedal?I use different pre amps on my hotrods cause fender hot rod preamps are terrible a pignose pre amp out into pwr. amp is better .So how do you hook it up?
Love the tune you played at the beginning of the video. Maybe a track for your next album release???
Thanks, Jed! I appreciate it.
Wow, that lick from 1:05 to 1:13 made me dizzy! Brilliant playing.
Great playing , cool pedal 👍👍
Hey Shawn. What are your favorite dual OD/Distortion/boost pedals?
Right now off the top of my head? The Gladio for sure along with the Origin FX Revival Drive and the Rockett Pedals Tim Pierce OD. The Tim Pierce is more of a boost > OD but it still qualifies in my book. I'm also very impressed with anything Jesse Davey builds.
Pedal is Nice.... YOU were OUTSTANDING!!!!
Thanks so much for the kind words!
Shawn Tubbs pedal is OUTSTANDING too, I guess I could have said “YOU are SUPER OUTSTANDING”
but since YOU impressed me even MORE then that OUTSTANDING PEDAL.... there ya go!!! 😝
Oooh those jazzy runs!! Fantastic is what you are
Thanks very much!
Great playing and video as usual!
You can play... The pedal looks interesting, I’ll look out for it.
Wow, great playing as usual
Love your playing Shawn ..
Dude, that rocked.
What do I think? I think you’re an awesome Guitarist. Excellent demo.
Loved the solos! Could you talk through your approach to outside playing?
th-cam.com/video/m2qej2AgF_o/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/82f9ZhF0BXs/w-d-xo.html Try those links! Thanks for watching!
Unreal as usual Tubbs! Intro was just outstanding. Still waiting for you and Thorn to create the next dual guitar supergroup. Just sayin...
Love your videos and reviews and playing! I know you used Fractal on one of your tours. Do you still use it? I was just wondering if you will ever do a video on some of those sounds. Thanks man
Thanks so much! I only used Fractal for the Story Teller tour with CU. Management purchased all of the Fractals that the band used for that tour so I no longer have access to one.
Bout had a stroke when you said "I have the amp set really clean" plays..... slight break up. Obviously I get it, because you go straight to the neck and show it's your humbucker..... but, it's like when I was a kid and I'd tell my mom that my room was clean, then she'd come in and point out umpteen things wrong that needed more cleaning. I love dumbles's 70 style knobs and love when pedals use them. I wonder what this will do for you when going direct or if you're ever in a situation where you have to use a lesser amp or god forbid hook into a PA. Thanks for the video
Hi Michael, actually the Gladio is not designed to go straight into the PA since it doesn't have a power amp/cabinet simulation built in. As Shawn correctly mentioned, the pedal is called "preamp" since our intention is to offer an amp-like feel as much realistic as possible...
@@cornerstonegear Thank you very much for reaching out and clarifying that. Regardless, NICE pedal! It really seems to me to have the market "cornered" on a very genuine reproduction of the Eric Johnson Dumble tone compared to other products I own, have tested, or have researched. Thanks again. One more thing.... If you guys come out with an EQ pedal or something you can really shape your tone with, you should call it "The Mason" and put a square and compass on it.... or if it's a dual channel then have one side the square side and one side the compass
Sounds fantastic...nice demo
What’s not shown on the video is the glass of ice water that Shawn uses to cool his fingers off after those licks 🔥 🧊
Heloo
I have some questions. Please answer me.
On V1 i can see switch (I>II and II>I).
1. Can you tell me difference between Gladio V1 i V2?
2. What is combination on V2 (I>II or II>I)?
3. Does version 2 have internal trim pots?
THANKS
I've only had experience with version II. Go to www.cornerstonegear.it/products/gladio and use the ENQUIRY tab to get an answer from the source.
Hi Shawn! I got a question if you don't mind. Since you are a long time The Dude user, could you tell how do they compare and why would someone chose one over the other? I hope you are safe during these difficult times, thanks!
The Dude is a great sounding pedal. It's modeled after Robben Ford's Dumble so it has that sound. The Gladio is a bit broader in scope as a Dumble style pedal and the fact that it's a two-channel makes it pretty versatile but there's a price difference to keep in mind. If you have the means and need a two-channel pedal go with the Gladio. If you're after a great sounding Robben Ford style Dumble sound and don't need the switching then get the DUDE. Thanks for the question and I hope you're staying safe and healthy.
@@ShawnTubbs Thank you Shawn, I will make a decision pretty soon!
Dang I need to get this thing!!!!
