GLADIO
The Story Behind the pedal:
The journey of the Gladio began with a quest to replicate the soulful, expressive tones of Robben Ford. This pedal channels the essence of Ford’s signature sound in “Cannonball Shuffle,”
But the innovation didn’t stop there. The Gladio evolved to include another channel which is tailored to capture the creamy, fat tones reminiscent of Sonny Landreth’s “Elemental Journey.”
For three years from 2019 to 2022, Gladio put a mark in the boutique pedal world being used in recording studios, live concerts, and the homes of enthusiasts.
However, like all good stories, Gladio’s story also came to an end. In December 2022, after a production run where each unit was crafted with the same passion as the first, we decided to discontinue Gladio.
It was not a decision made lightly, but a necessary step to make room for new innovations, for new dreams to be realized.
AQUARIUM
I wanted to create a pedal that could inherit the vibe of the past and project it into the present. With the Aquarium, I aimed to combine vintage-inspired tones with modern technology to meet the needs of today’s guitarists.
The Aquarium is our take on the classic Univibe sound, designed to capture the beautiful three-dimensional chorus/vibrato tones of an original ‘Vibe. We addressed several common issues with vintage units, such as volume loss and tonal changes. One significant improvement is the addition of a master output volume control, ensuring the pedal doesn’t get lost in the mix. We also included a dedicated tone control to balance the bass and treble, preventing the sound from becoming overly dark or muddy, especially when paired with a fuzz pedal.
Another innovative feature is the Mix control, inspired by professional studio setups, allowing users to blend the dry signal with the wet vibe internally. This provides a vast range of versatility, with two mix modes: Blend and Mix. Blend mode allows for everything from a full wet effect to a fully dry signal, while Mix mode keeps the dry signal at 100% and adjusts the level of the wet vibe sound on top.
The Aquarium also boasts dual speed controls with an Inertia switch, allowing users to select how quickly the pedal morphs between the two speeds, adding a rotary speaker-like effect. It operates on 18V to achieve those rich, deep vibe tones using 100% analog circuitry.
By combining these modern features with classic Univibe inspiration, the Aquarium offers both the nostalgic warmth of vintage sounds and the reliability and flexibility required by modern guitarists
