ThorpyFX The Kudu Mid-Gain / Stackable Overdrive Pedal

The ThorpyFX KUDU Overdrive is a dynamic and highly musical overdrive pedal designed to enhance and elevate your existing rig. Inspired by a modified classic circuit gifted to Thorpy by legendary Lovetone designer Dan Coggins, the KUDU was developed with one primary goal in mind: making everything it touches sound better.

While capable of delivering rich mid-gain overdrive tones on its own, the KUDU truly excels as a gain-stacking pedal. Whether pushing the front end of an amp or combining with other drive pedals, it adds depth, clarity, and harmonic richness without masking your core tone.

A versatile three-position clipping switch allows players to tailor the response and character of the drive, making it adaptable to a wide range of setups and playing styles. Built using premium-grade components including WIMA and Panasonic capacitors, 1% metal film resistors, and gold-plated through-hole PCBs, the KUDU delivers exceptional reliability, low noise performance, and outstanding tonal integrity.

Handcrafted to ThorpyFX’s renowned standards, this is a professional-grade overdrive pedal built for players who demand inspiring tone and long-term dependability.
