Description

Cleo™ commands the lower end of the gain scale anchoring Blues, Roots, Indie Rock and even doubles as a hearty Boost, while it enhances, not covers up, the sound of your instrument. With sweet, open top end clarity and not too much saturation, it allows you to craft anything from a subtle boost up through urgent mid gain drive to harmonically-rich overdrive, all in the spirit of Tradition.

A well-built transparent overdrive like the Mesa Cleo opens up miles of sonic explorative possibilities. From tightening up a high-gain stack to getting a little more juice out of a low-wattage combo, the Mesa Cleo will always find a spot on your pedalboard or in your pedal drawer. The Cleo is distinctly low-character in its, well, character, with simple Level, Tone, and Gain controls to refine how much harmonics, hair, sparkle, and grit you slather on. It’s your sound, only enhanced. But that’s not to say the Cleo is limited in its applications. You’ve got +20dB of output gain and a far-reaching tone knob to colorize chords, texturize amp tones, and gives your solos the spotlight. And thanks to its US-built premium componentry and tone-saving true bypass switching, the Mesa Engineering Cleo will never put a damper on your hard-won tone.
