{"product_id":"cornerstone-colosseum","title":"Cornerstone Music Gear - Colosseum Overdrive","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFrom Cornerstone\u003c\/em\u003e: The Colosseum is the result of a series of polls taken amongst the Cornerstone followers and our supporters in the Cornerstone Community. We are incredibly proud to present this pedal in which the people have had a large role in it’s design process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eSo, What is it?\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eIt is a dual overdrive pedal based on my interpretation of the \u003cstrong\u003eBlues Breaker\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eKlon\u003c\/strong\u003e circuits. While I used the original pedals to have an accurate sound reference (even an original Klon), the end result of Colosseum is not just these two circuits copied and stuck in the same box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Blues Breaker circuit on another level:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eOn the BB side there is no clipping diodes. It is surprising how removing these elements and tweaking the tone controls can fix the common “issues” that affect a classic BB, such as low volume and dark tone.\u003cbr\u003eI also added our “signature” \u003cstrong\u003eClean control\u003c\/strong\u003e taken from the \u003cstrong\u003eGladio\u003c\/strong\u003e, to add the clean sound on top of the overdriven signal for more tonal versatility. This will restore a lot of touch sensitivity, especially on pick attack, as well as restoring the bottom end from your original clean sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe new Klon’s magic:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe Klon side stayed pretty much the same, except for one important detail: the clip blender.\u003cbr\u003eWe all know that the Klon has built quite a reputation around two “mythical” 1N34A \u003cstrong\u003eGermanium diodes\u003c\/strong\u003e. We are still using them, measuring each one of them and picking the ones with the correct value of forward voltage, but… with the addition of a pair of hand selected silicon diodes. With this blend feature you have a wide range of tonal flexibility, an entirely new flavor of Klon at your feet, all while still being able to harness the sound of the original.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eLooper lovers unite!\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eAt the back you have \u003cstrong\u003e4 jacks\u003c\/strong\u003e to connect each side of the pedal with your favorite looper. You can use the sides independently or put any other pedal in between.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eAnything else?\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eA little toggle switch will change the order of the two channels very easily for a lot of tone variations!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the Community and Cornerstone team, rediscover these classic ODs with the Colosseum.\u003c\/p\u003e.","brand":"Cornerstone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44133239390427,"sku":"Cornerstone Colosseum","price":359.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0202\/0250\/files\/20230529_CS_Colosseum-Top-Warm_ForWeb.jpg?v=1685737000","url":"https:\/\/massstreetmusic.mom\/products\/cornerstone-colosseum","provider":"Mass Street Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
