The Kernom Ridge Overdrive Pedal is a revolutionary tone-shaping tool, designed to deliver limitless drive possibilities for guitar, bass, synths, and studio applications. Combining Kernom’s Augmented Analog circuitry with unmatched flexibility, the Ridge empowers you to explore everything from pristine clean boosts to high-gain ferocity. With advanced EQ controls, seamless MIDI integration, and expression pedal compatibility, it’s the ultimate solution for players seeking precision, versatility, and sonic creativity.
Shape Your Drive, Define Your Tone
At the heart of the Ridge Overdrive Pedal is its innovative MOOD control, giving you access to an infinite range of clipping styles. Seamlessly shift between soft and hard clipping, symmetrical and asymmetrical responses, or emulate the behavior of Germanium and Silicon diodes—all with a single twist of a knob. Whether you're sculpting subtle clean boosts, dynamic overdrive, or compressed high-gain tones, the Ridge delivers unparalleled versatility.
The advanced EQ section puts tone-shaping power in your hands. The PRE-TONE control, located before the clipping stage, allows you to fine-tune how the pedal responds to your playing dynamics, while the POST-TONE control tailors the final output, shaping everything from fat lows to bright chime. Add the responsive MID EQ, and you can make your sound sit perfectly in a mix or punch through with authority.
With MIDI compatibility for up to 128 presets, dual onboard sounds, and expression pedal integration, the Kernom Ridge ensures that every parameter is at your fingertips, whether you’re performing live or creating in the studio.
