​Cerberus Guitars – Gladius Amplifier SN-001

Cerberus Guitars – Gladius Amplifier

Two channels. One weapon. All fire.

We at Cerberus Guitars are proud to introduce the Gladius — the first amplifier in the Cerberus Guitars lineup, built to command the stage and dominate the mix. Designed in collaboration with the legendary team at Port City Amplification.

Named after the ancient Roman short sword, the Gladius is precision-forged for modern sonic warfare. It features two fully independent channels, each designed as its own tonal engine. This isn’t just a channel switch — it’s a transformation.

• Channel One is our tribute to classic American cleans — glassy, articulate, and wide open. Chime with warmth or push it into a raw edge that responds like an old friend.
• Channel Two is an all-original Cerberus circuit — a brutally modified British-style high gain platform, delivering searing leads, punishing rhythm crunch, and a wall of harmonic saturation. Think chainsaw teeth sharpened with surgical precision.

Both channels feature their own EQ sections, gain structures, and voicing tweaks, giving you a battlefield of options whether you're carving out crystal cleans or unleashing pure chaos.

Made in the USA and built like a weapon, the Gladius is more than an amp — it's a statement.
