The ThorpyFX KUDU is a highly versatile overdrive pedal designed to make everything in your rig sound better. Inspired by a modified classic pedal gifted to Thorpy by legendary Lovetone designer Dan Coggins, KUDU was carefully refined into an overdrive built specifically for stacking with amps and other pedals.
Whether you want to add edge, warmth, harmonic richness, or push an already-driven amp into sweet saturation, KUDU delivers an exceptionally musical response with outstanding clarity and touch sensitivity.
The interactive Drive and Bite controls allow you to shape everything from smooth, rounded breakup to cutting, harmonically rich drive tones. Lower Bite settings produce a warmer, softer response, while higher settings introduce extra sparkle, attack, and upper-end presence that helps your tone cut through a mix.
A three-way Clip switch lets you select between Soft, Hard, and Extra Soft clipping modes, dramatically changing the feel and harmonic character of the pedal. From smooth compression to aggressive bite, KUDU adapts easily to different guitars, amps, and pedalboard setups.
Designed with premium through-hole construction and top-tier components throughout, KUDU delivers the reliability, low noise performance, and tonal richness ThorpyFX pedals are known for.
