The Kernom Ridge Augmented Overdrive Pedal new kind of analog overdrive pedal, using a groundbreaking clipping control technology to combine best in class sound to unparalleled flexibility and expressivity. Its revolutionary interface allows users to shape the clipping flavor and personality of the pedal in an infinite number of ways and to control it via MIDI or with an expression pedal. ANALOG MORPHING CORE TECHNOLOGY Kernom invented Analog Morphing Core, a new and unique patent-pending approach to electronic clipping circuits. It controls the nonlinear elements of the clipping stage (traditionally diodes) by changing in real time their threshold, making them behave like a new kind of diode. Use the MOOD KNOB to select the personality of the pedal, from the ultimate clean boost to a fully compressed and characterful overdriven sound. INSPIRATION AND IMAGINATION WITHOUT BOUNDARIES The Ridge was designed with expressivity and creativity in mind as main focus points, to help musicians write the next page in the history of music. Kernom added an expression input, internal preset and full MIDI compatibility to the extraordinarily versatile electronic architecture of the Ridge. The result is an inspiration machine, capable of both summoning the most classic sounds and taking the musician to new unexplored sound territories. BUILT TO PERFORM AT PEAK PERFORMANCE FOR DECADES TO COME The iconic design of the Ridge pedal takes its roots in the architectural design language of modernism. The casing has a strong personality and timeless feel. It is built out of 5mm thick touring ready aluminum and is virtually indestructible, to last a lifetime of inspiration. The electronic heart of the product is meticulously manufactured in a state of the art electronics factory, located in France. This factory also works with clients in the medical industry, a field where there is no room for error or approximation.
