Continuing on my build report catch up.

This is the second channel of the discontinued Cornerstone Gladio, which was a dual channel OD with a Timmy based circuit on the first side and a Zen based circuit on channel 2.

Channel 1 is available from @Robert as the "Scenario Preamp". Which is cool in and of itself as it's a Timmy with a clean blend. But I digress.
Ch1 is supposed to emulate the Dumble SSS and Channel 2 (this pedal) the Dumble ODS.

As such it borrows heavily from the "industry standard" Dumble-esque circuit the Zen drive.

There's a couple of toggles, one of which drops the clippers for an op amp drive. The other is an EQ toggle that emulates the "jazz/rock" switch on an ODS.

Otherwise it's pretty much a Zen, albeit a very nice variant.

Highly recommended build if you like the Dumble sound. It not surprisingly pairs very well stacked with the Scenario preamp.

I built this one with one of @szukalski 's micro relay boards.

Nice clean build! Would love to see one of your awesome demos for this! BTW, are you not worried that the leads to the power jack and the ground pads can crack over time?

If I ever get my act together enough to record again I'll try to catch up with some demos. I have not had an issue with the buss wire. There's enough give in them to withstand some slight twisting. But then, I don't gig, don't have roadies or groupies, wild sex, heroin, or anything like that. :ROFLMAO:
