Kernom Ridge Overdrive

From ultra clean boost to full overdriven high gain, KERNOM Ridge Overdrive compact effect pedal can manage every sound you're dreaming of !

Kernom's distinctive MOOD knob enables you to explore a limitless array of overdrive clipping variations. Whether you prefer soft or hard clipping, symmetrical or asymmetrical characteristics, inspired by Germanium or Silicon diode behavior, our augmented analog circuitry empowers you to embark on a sonic voyage spanning the full spectrum of drive tones. With just a single twist of the knob, you can seamlessly transition from an ultra-clean boost to ferocious high-gain intensity, passing through dynamic overdrive or more compressed textures.

To begin, we offer the traditional post-Tone control positioned after the clipping stage, allowing you to fine-tune how your pedal interacts with your amplifier, in an advanced version within the Ridge. Recognizing the substantial impact that guitar interaction can have on overdrive tone, we've introduced a distinctive Pre-Tone adjustment before the clipping stage. This feature lets you modify how your playing influences the dynamics of the overdrive tone. Additionally, we've included a MID section to help your sound either stand out or seamlessly blend with other instruments in a mix.

Use the internal preset accessible via the dedicated footswitch to have access to two sounds at any given time. Simply hold the preset footswitch for 2 seconds and save the current position of the knobs for later use.
Easily find what you've saved, thanks to Kernom's editing features.

Full MIDI compatibility with easy editing features. Save and recall up to 128 different presets and cover all your overdrive needs. The use of an external MIDI switcher (not included) is needed.

Connect your expression pedal to the RIDGE to control any combination of knobs and explore new possibilities.
