Kernom is a French effects pedal manufacturer based in Paris, founded in 2020 by a team of musicians and engineers including Antoine Petroff, Charles Riche, Jeremy Savonet, and Nicolas Joos. The company designs and builds its pedals in France, and is built around a proprietary technology called the Analog Morphing Core, which uses digital control to continuously sweep between different analog circuit topologies via a central 'MOOD' knob.
The brand's lineup centers on a small number of flagship units. The RIDGE is an augmented analog overdrive that morphs between a wide range of drive voicings from light boost to heavier distortion. The ELIPSE is a modulation pedal that combines tremolo, chorus, flanger, phaser, and rotary effects in a single device, while the MOHO is a fuzz workstation that incorporates an octaver and ring modulator alongside multiple fuzz voicings.
Kernom positions its products in the boutique end of the pedal market, with an emphasis on tone-shaping flexibility and analog signal paths rather than full digital modeling. The company has received coverage in guitar press outlets including Guitar.com, Spin, and Gearnews for its morphing approach to classic effect categories.
Kernom has 3 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Overdrive Effects Pedals, Fuzz Effects Pedals, and Multi Effects Pedals. Their gear is featured by 1 artist, with the strongest followings in Rock. Notable users include Ray Toro.
