Dan Coggins, who you’ll know of Lovetone fame, designs pedals for ThorpyFx, but musical instruments and their associated gear remains to this day as a hobby for Thorpy. Well, knowing this, on Christmas 2024 Dan gifted me a modified pedal, which as always, sparks an idea for a new product. So, we took inspiration for this modified classic and created a pedal optimised for stacking with other pedals and amps. Why is it called KUDU? Well, there is a variant of the KUDU called the Greater Kudu and as the pedal makes everything sound better... it seemed apt.\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCONTROLS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFOOTSWITCH:\u003c\/strong\u003e ON\/OFF True bypass\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLEVEL:\u003c\/strong\u003e Use this control to balance the output of the pedal. We’ve packed in plenty of volume to this pedal so you can cut and boost your signal using the level.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBITE: \u003c\/strong\u003eThis control allows you to feed in the correct amount of sizzle and sparkle to your tone. It allows you to tailor the frequencies that interact with your other pedals and amps. Lower settings are smoother, whilst higher settings are more cutting.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDRIVE:\u003c\/strong\u003e This control adds or cuts the level of drive on tap.

Our advice is to just have a play with placement and see where it fits your signal chain best. It’s not particularly fussy on placement but it will yield its best results when placed where you want it to be.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePOWER:\u003c\/strong\u003e The KUDU is designed to be powered by a 9V DC centre-negative 2.1mm power supply. Do not attempt to use this pedal with other voltages or polarities. We have power protection circuitry in our pedals and use of any other voltages will shut the pedal down and may require return to ThorpyFx HQ for repair. This will not be covered under warranty.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATIONS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSize: (W)65mm x(L)125mm x(H)53mm (top of Knobs) Current Draw: 44mA\u003cbr\u003eTrue Bypass?
