Kernom

In the current JustPedals catalogue, Kernom is represented by Overdrive Pedals, Fuzz Pedals and Modulation Pedals. Current listings include Moho Fuzz, Ridge Overdrive and Elipse Multi Modulation. That makes the range relevant to players looking for drive, gain and clipping, plus modulation and movement. Check each model for its exact circuit or processing platform, controls, power requirements and connections, particularly where the catalogue includes both pedals and supporting gear.

Modulation Pedals

Modulation pedals vary pitch, time, amplitude or phase to create movement around the dry sound. Chorus, flanger, phaser, tremolo, vibrato and rotary-style effects all sit in this broad group, but their controls and signal behaviour differ. Rate sets speed; depth, feedback, waveform, mix and stereo routing determine intensity and space. Decide whether the pedal should sit before or after drive and ambience, then check headroom, tap or MIDI control, mono compatibility and whether the effect leaves the dry signal intact.

Analogue

Analogue products use continuous audio circuitry for some or all of the signal path, so clipping, filtering or modulation arises from physical components rather than sampled algorithms. The label does not guarantee a particular tone; component choice, headroom, bias, noise and the surrounding gain stages still matter. Check whether the switching, presets, control section or cabinet stage is digital when the exact signal path is important.

Digital

Digital products use conversion and processing to create, store or control the effect. This can provide presets, complex routing, repeatable algorithms, USB, MIDI and firmware features, but conversion, latency, power requirements and clocking depend on the design. Check the input and output levels, sample or impulse-response support, bypass behaviour and current draw when combining a digital unit with analogue pedals or a direct recording setup.

Hybrid

Hybrid products combine analogue audio circuitry with digital control, conversion or processing. The useful question is which part of the signal path stays analogue and which functions—such as presets, filtering, modulation or USB—are handled digitally. This can provide hands-on response with modern recall, but latency, power and bypass behaviour vary. Check the signal path and routing rather than assuming the label describes the entire product.

MIDI

MIDI sends, receives or responds to Musical Instrument Digital Interface messages rather than carrying instrument audio itself. Program changes can recall presets, continuous controllers can move parameters and MIDI clock or transport messages can synchronise timing. Check the connector or USB method, channel and message support, clock direction, latency and whether the device needs a separate MIDI host or adapter. MIDI control is powerful, but compatibility depends on the exact messages each product understands.

Presets

Preset-capable products can store and recall effect settings, signal paths or control assignments. The useful differences are the number of locations, whether footswitches or MIDI can recall them, what parameters are saved, how quickly they change and whether trails continue between settings. Check editing, backup, firmware, expression and USB requirements, and confirm that the preset system covers the parameters you need rather than assuming every control is recalled.
