Meticulously designed with the input of their devoted followers and the Cornerstone Community, this dual overdrive pedal combines the best elements of the Blues Breaker and Klon circuits. The Colosseum offers an enhanced Blues Breaker side with no clipping diodes, a signature Clean control, and outstanding touch sensitivity. On the Klon side, explore the legendary sound with a twist - Germanium diodes, hand-selected silicon diodes, and the innovative clip blender. With versatile connectivity options and a toggle switch for seamless channel switching, the Colosseum is a must-have for any discerning guitarist.
