Cornerstone Colosseum LTD BK
Cornerstone · pedal
The Cornerstone Colosseum Ltd BK is a limited Black edition of the Italian boutique builder's Colosseum dual overdrive pedal, the first Cornerstone Community Pedal designed through a series of public polls. The Colosseum combines two classic overdrive circuits in one housing: a Klon-style transparent overdrive and a Bluesbreaker-style channel, each with independent connections and the ability to reorder the circuits in the chain. Cornerstone addressed the classic Bluesbreaker low-volume issue, making the Blues Breaker channel loud, clear, and highly touch-sensitive. The Ltd BK edition shares the identical circuit.
