Citation/mention fame — how often this gear is cited across artist rigs and gear discussion.The Cornerstone Cio Ant is a limited edition of the Italian boutique builder's Antique TS-style overdrive pedal, handmade in Italy. The Cio Ant shares the core Antique circuit delivering warm, mid-forward overdrive in the vintage Tube Screamer tradition, complemented by the Hot Mode dual boost for extended versatility. As a limited cosmetic variant, the circuit and tonal character are identical to the standard Antique series. The Italian boutique construction and premium component selection apply throughout. Suited for blues, rock, and country players seeking premium boutique quality with a Tube Screamer-inspired foundation.
The Way Huge Green Rhino MkII is a transparent overdrive in the Tube Screamer tradition, but voiced with more clarity and headroom than a typical TS-style circuit, adding warmth and gain without the pronounced mid hump or compression that can make some overdrives sound boxy. It responds naturally to pick dynamics and guitar volume, cleaning up smoothly rather than choking off. It works well both as a standalone low-to-medium gain drive and as a boost stacked in front of an already-driven amp or another pedal. It suits blues, rock, and country players wanting an organic, amp-like overdrive with more openness and clarity than a classic Tube Screamer.
