Every Overdrive. One Pedal.
The search for the perfect overdrive usually ends with a pedalboard full of compromises. The Kernom Ridge changes that.
Built around Kernom’s patented Analog Morphing Core, the Ridge lets you seamlessly shape and blend between multiple overdrive circuits—from transparent clean boost to saturated, near-fuzz tones—all in one pedal.
This is not a clone. It’s a new category of overdrive.
Why the Kernom Ridge Stands Out
Morph Between Classic Overdrive Circuits
The MOOD control lets you move continuously across multiple drive styles instead of switching between them.
Dial in everything from:
One knob replaces an entire lineup of overdrives.
Analog Morphing Core Technology
At the heart of the Ridge is a patented circuit that dynamically reshapes the clipping stage in real time, giving you virtually unlimited clipping variations.
Instead of fixed diodes, the Ridge lets you control how the circuit behaves—making it feel like multiple pedals in one.
Deep Tone Shaping with Pre and Post EQ
The Ridge gives you full control over how your tone interacts with your rig:
-
Pre Tone – shapes how your guitar hits the pedal
-
Post Tone – adjusts how the pedal hits your amp
-
Mid Control – helps you cut through or sit back in the mix
This level of control is rare in a single overdrive.
Analog Tone with Modern Flexibility
The Ridge combines a fully analog signal path with modern control features:
-
Save and recall up to 128 presets via MIDI
-
Use an expression pedal for real-time morphing
-
Store a favorite onboard preset for quick switching
It’s built for both traditional rigs and advanced setups.
Built for Players Who Care About Feel
The Ridge responds like a great amp:
-
Cleans up naturally with your guitar’s volume
-
Retains clarity even at higher gain levels
-
Feels dynamic and touch-sensitive under your fingers
What It Can Replace
For many players, this can replace an entire gain section.

From subtle boost to saturated drive, it’s one of the most flexible analog overdrive pedals available.
BOOM!
