The Gladius Dynamic Overdrive is a single-channel pedal that is based on the King Tone Soloist, which is a modified version of the Tube Screamer circuit. The Soloist is the “A” side of the Duellist dual pedal, and it has some significant modifications that allow it to sound different from a traditional Tube Screamer.

The Gladius retains the modifications of the Soloist, including the addition of a “Body” potentiometer and the replacement of the “Fat” toggle mode with the new “Edge” mode. However, it also adds back the internal DIP switch from the Duellist, which allows for the Warmth and Asymmetric modes to be accessed.

Essentially, the Gladius combines the best of both the Soloist and the Duellist, offering a versatile overdrive pedal with a wide range of tonal options. It is a direct adaptation of the Soloist standalone pedal, but with the added flexibility of the DIP switch for additional tonal shaping.
