Rodenberg is a German amplification and effects company based in Fulda, founded by Ulrich Rodenberg. Rodenberg started his own business in 1991 building pre- and main amplifiers, heads, combos, and handling repairs and modifications after completing his training as an electrical engineer. The company returned to full production in the early 2000s, and in 2005 a friend's request for an overdrive pedal led to the development of the GAS-Overdrive family that the brand is most widely associated with today.
All products are handmade in small batches in Germany. The lineup centers on boutique overdrive and distortion pedals such as the GAS-808, the SL-OD Overdrive, the TB Drive, and the LDP Deluxe, alongside Marshall-style tube amplifiers and heads. Rodenberg has also produced signature pedals, including the LR-GAS overdrive developed with guitarist Lee Ritenour, and the LDP Deluxe line connected to bassist Victor Wooten.
The brand has a reputation within the boutique effects community for hand-wired build quality, low production volumes, and tone-focused circuit design. Rodenberg pedals are carried internationally through retailers such as Thomann, Andertons, and Reverb, and the company maintains a presence in bass and guitar forums where its overdrives are frequently discussed alongside other European boutique makers.
Rodenberg has 18 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Overdrive Effects Pedals, Bass Effects Pedals, and Switch Effects Pedals. Their gear is featured by 8 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Folk, World, & Country, and Funk / Soul. Notable users include Steve Lukather, Marcus Miller, and Victor Wooten.
