INTRODUCTION

The Gladius Dynamic Overdrive is based on the King Tone Soloist,

released in 2020, the Soloist is side "A" (String-Singer) of the Duellist dual pedal.

It's no secret that it's based on the Tube Screamer, but its modifications are significant enough that

depending on the control settings, it can either sound nothing like a TS or exactly like one.

However, the Soloist is not an exact copy of the circuit inside the Duellist. A "Body" potentiometer has

been added, and the "Fat" toggle mode has been swapped for the new "Edge" mode. The internal DIP

switch has been removed, so the "Warmth" and "Asymmetric" modes from the Duellist are not in this

circuit.

The Gladius unifies these two circuits, adding the internal DIP switch from the Duellist so that the

Warmth and Asymmetric modes are once again available. Otherwise, it's a direct adaptation of the

Soloist standalone pedal.

USAGE

The Gladius has five external controls:

• Drive controls the amount of gain in the op-amp feedback diode clipping stage.

• Body controls the low-end response of the effect before the clipping.

• Tone is an active treble boost/cut after the clipping stage.

• Volume controls the overall output.

• Style (toggle switch) selects between Edge, Stock and Glass modes, which set the pre-clipping

treble response.

There are also two internal DIP switch options:

• Warmth adds a second treble-cut capacitor before the tone control, reducing the maximum amount

of treble available. Engaged when the DIP switch is "on".

• Asymmetric adds another diode in series with the first set for asymmetric clipping. Engaged when

the DIP switch is "off".
