Cornerstone Royal Antique has been designed together with Osvaldo di Dio, to take the standard Antique classic drive to a new level, adding some special features in order to let it be the all-in-one solution for the overdrive needs.
Let’s have a closer look at the controls and operation modes:
When the “Bypass” footswitch is pressed, the signal enters the main circuit of the Royal Antique which is the same as the Antique and controlled by its standard controls Gain, Tone, Presence, Volume, Mids. Expect a Tube screamer type of drive without it being an exact copy of the original.
Hit the “Boost” footswitch and two different boosts come in at the same time, one before and one after the overdrive circuit. Each having its own independent gain control. The BOLD knob is the gain of the boost “before”. Unity volume condition is when bold is at 0. The GAS knob is the gain of the boost “after”. Unity volume condition is when the GAS is at noon.
In case another boost is needed, there’s the “Flame channel”, which is exactly a Flame booster already embodied on the Royal Antique circuitry, and can be enabled by means of an external momentary footswitch, to instantly give up to 20dB.
The Royal Antique requires a standard 9V DC Negative power supply only.
