Inspired by a heavily modified classic circuit originally gifted to Thorpy by Coggins himself, the KUDU evolved into a pedal focused on enhancement, harmonic richness, and feel rather than simply adding more gain. \u003cspan data-state=\"closed\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1095\" data-start=\"709\"\u003eOn its own, the KUDU delivers articulate low-to-mid gain overdrive tones with excellent touch sensitivity and note separation. But where it truly shines is when used as a “more better” pedal - pushing tube amps harder, tightening other drives, adding harmonics, and giving your entire rig more dimension and clarity without masking your core sound. \u003cspan data-state=\"closed\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1533\" data-start=\"1097\"\u003eA major part of the KUDU’s versatility comes from its three-position clipping switch, offering multiple gain textures and responses ranging from softer compression to more aggressive punch and a smooth, germanium-like feel. Combined with the highly interactive Tone\/Bite control, the pedal can move from open edge-of-breakup textures to thick sustaining drive while remaining exceptionally musical. \u003cspan data-state=\"closed\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1819\" data-start=\"1535\"\u003eAs expected from ThorpyFX, the KUDU is built to an extremely high standard using premium components including WIMA and Panasonic capacitors, 1% metal film resistors, and gold-plated through-hole PCBs for ultra-low noise and long-term reliability. \u003cspan data-state=\"closed\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1829\" data-start=\"1821\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-end=\"2344\" data-start=\"1831\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1894\" data-start=\"1831\" data-section-id=\"1j34nhl\"\u003eMid-gain overdrive designed for stacking with amps and pedals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1956\" data-start=\"1895\" data-section-id=\"o5n5xg\"\u003eDesigned in collaboration with Dan Coggins of Lovetone fame\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"2017\" data-start=\"1957\" data-section-id=\"106j63x\"\u003eThree-position clipping switch for multiple drive textures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"2073\" data-start=\"2018\" data-section-id=\"jpg9f7\"\u003eRich harmonic enhancement with excellent note clarity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"2118\" data-start=\"2074\" data-section-id=\"1b8tane\"\u003eHighly responsive and touch-sensitive feel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"2164\" data-start=\"2119\" data-section-id=\"tgkbns\"\u003ePremium-grade WIMA and Panasonic components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"2208\" data-start=\"2165\" data-section-id=\"1ncjdkp\"\u003eGold-plated through-hole PCB construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"2251\" data-start=\"2209\" data-section-id=\"1khzeic\"\u003eHand-built boutique construction quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"2282\" data-start=\"2252\" data-section-id=\"12xci4t\"\u003eLow-noise analogue circuitry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"2344\" data-start=\"2283\" data-section-id=\"5hi8rt\"\u003eIdeal for always-on tone enhancement or layered gain setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2360\" data-start=\"2346\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-end=\"2568\" data-start=\"2362\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"2414\" data-start=\"2362\" data-section-id=\"8963te\"\u003eControls: Gain, Tone\/Bite, Volume, Clipping Switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"2449\" data-start=\"2415\" data-section-id=\"1lejntt\"\u003eCircuit Type: Analogue Overdrive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"2471\" data-start=\"2450\" data-section-id=\"xz8zd0\"\u003eBypass: True Bypass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"2502\" data-start=\"2472\" data-section-id=\"1mvh6zx\"\u003ePower: 9V DC Centre Negative\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"2534\" data-start=\"2503\" data-section-id=\"ytpn3n\"\u003eCurrent Draw: Approx. 30-44mA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"2568\" data-start=\"2535\" data-section-id=\"1ctyggy\"\u003eDimensions: 65mm x 125mm x 53mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2799\" data-start=\"2570\"\u003eFor players chasing richer harmonics, better gain stacking, and a pedal that genuinely enhances the feel of an entire rig, the KUDU delivers one of the most refined “always-on” overdrive experiences ThorpyFX has released to date.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ThorpyFx","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41415574454330,"sku":null,"price":379.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1764\/4443\/files\/thorpyfx-the-kudu-mid-gain-stackable-overdrive-pedal-gsus4-4348121.jpg?v=1778825067","url":"https:\/\/gsus4.com.au\/products\/thorpyfx-the-kudu","provider":"Gsus4","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
