Kernom Ridge Overdrive After 6 Months - Your Wife’s Favorite Pedal and GAS (talking... lots of it)
Felt obligated to follow up and say I love this pedal. Other than a couple of other specific tones (usually stacking overdrives) it is now my main (almost only) overdrive and distortion pedal.
I talk in the video about a strange side effect of having it. Do you have GAS? Gear Acquisition Syndrome? I do (did?). Not that I buy lots of gear, but I for sure want and consume content on lots of gear. Anyhow, this pedal has done something in that realm... video talks about it.
Also, no judgment here on just loving gear content on KZread. I love to watch videos about things I will never have. But I also noticed internally that I was thinking more about gear than making music. Not sure everyone is on that journey, but maybe there is something here for you.
I don’t have a lot of time to do video work, but if I ever get it, I will probably explore these ideas more. Forgive the rambling nature of the vid. Trying to help and give good info about the pedal. Still not lots of content out there on it... and most of the early things were reviews of people who I am not sure bought it to use it like I did.
I mention the noise/hum in the vid... I am literally sitting directly in front of the speaker, so hum is unavoidable with single coils and the digital noise is caused by my LED lamp, not the equipment.
Feel free to ask questions in the comments or shoot me an email.

I am not a fuzz guy, but they have one now.

Excellent video!!!!! If you finally got all the pedals you will ever need, now you can concentrate on finding the lost chord!!!! 😜

Ha ha...thanks for this! I appreciate you watching and there are more than just one chord missing for me!
For me too, the Ridge was the end of the overdrive quest. The only thing I put before it, is a compression to add a bit juice or a fuzz to add a lot more juice and play with my guitar's volume knob to cover a large span of sounds.Just need to get a MIDI controler now.

This is awesome to hear... Like I say in the videos I don't get anything from kernom to make them, but I really think they have the ability to fill a hole a lot of people seem to have... And it sounds like you're using it exactly for that kind of thing. Very cool. Really appreciate you taking the time to comment. This is exactly why I made this and talk about it.
A very enjoyable review Blu. So, just to be clear, buying this will make me meet a lot of famous people.... and my wife will love me practicing a bunch? I want one, of course. Sounds great, and quick to dial in. It's great to hear you talking and playing, and I appreciate the sincere honesty. Are you recording the audio with a miked amp, or the pedal directly into an audio interface, or combination of both? Sounds like both to me.

From the top: Yes, buy the pedal and all your dreams come true! Ha ha. The only drawback if there is one is that to have lots of sounds at the ready, have to learn a little MIDI. It was daunting for me, but figured it out... other than that, if you just like to dial in tones on the fly and play... tons and tons of possibilities. In this video I am recording into my Behringer interface with two mics on my two amp speakers (not left/right, but one amp outside stereo, the other inside mono... that is my one guitar sound). Then I have a condenser mic (Rode NT1) near my mouth... all recording... but I lover vocal when just playing and lower guitar when talking just a little where they do not overlap. So, yes... both at once. I am 12 inches from the speaker cabinet... so, a little noise. Hope that clarifies... thanks for the interest and asking LH... ask any questions too... I would love to help, or you can email me too.
i love mine, it has definitely cured...no, suppressed over drive gas. I use it with a hx stomp, between them they cover a lot of bases. Whats your thoughts on their fuzz unit?

That's cool to hear... I didn't have as many bases needing covering but it definitely cured overdrive gas... I don't play fuzz much... The latest full song I uploades called 99 is one of the rare times I've used fuzz prominently... I have a boss FZ5... I would primarily use the octave ringer kind of tones. But I have those bases covered here with the Chicago stomp works pedal I did a video for. But if someone was a fuzz person they would probably love that MOHO. Analog and programmable!
I'm debating this vs the chase bliss automatone... thoughts? lol about the wife title😄

Ironically, I actually counsel in my real life, but man, I do not want to mislead anyone. So, I would probably want to know what your plan is for it. I have never played the CB pedal. I think I am right if I say this pedal is like having a tone of overdrives handy (assuming you use the MIDI preset options)... while I get the sense the CB is more hifi and production-centric. Not sure about the areas where they share possibilities as opposed to differing features. For me guitar tone is not an endless search - I want certain sounds when I play. I almost always use digital stuff when I produce. So, that is a guess, but my side of it is the Ridge is awesome for playing and quickly changing sounds on the fly. Hope that helps.

@@BlugubriousMusic thanks helpful. The biggest difference is the price. Used I can get a ridge for half the price of the CB. I think they cover similar territory and both have presets and midi. The CB also has some fuzz options but it EQ section is somewhat limited.

@@kenmasters007 Well, EQ is where the Ridge excels to me. That whole pre and post EQ is pretty amazing in my opinion. I would probably feel comfortable saying the Ridge is way more than half the pedal. Feel free to ask any questions... if I can answer, I will.
what's your midi controller ?

My guess is since you sent this comment you went and looked at my channel and found I did a whole video on Ampero Controller
they must have sent this pedal to alot of youtubers...there sure are a lot of commercial for this pedal.....and funny how they all skip the part that you need midi to control it. . .it cannot replace more than 1 pedal without midi

Two things - I was not sent it, I bought it. And I knew it had midi from KZreadrs which is the reason I bought it. Many did not mention it, but quite a few did that I saw. I guess we had different experiences. It has officially replaced 16 pedals for me (a couple are duplicates on different settings... like a Tube Screamer with more bass and one with less). Delivered for me and midi was neat to learn.
Engaugement!
