The Rudis Dual Overdrive is a double overdrive structured guitar, designed to offer a clear presence in the mix while maintaining a natural dynamic.
It combines two complementary approaches to gain, allowing you to move from an open, articulate sound to denser, more focused saturations.

Musical intent & use cases
The Rudis is based on two circuits with clearly defined roles.
The right channel offers midrange-focused overdrive, with precise attack, controlled compression and natural sustain.
It is particularly suited to leads and contexts where the guitar must remain clearly defined in the mix.
The left channel offers a more open and dynamic overdrive, with a response sensitive to the guitar's touch and volume.
It works perfectly as a rhythmic base, edge-of-breakup or sound foundation.
Each channel has its own voicing and clipping settings for fine-tuning the response.
The different combinations enable a number of distinct behaviors, from open, transparent overdrive to denser, more structured textures.
The two channels can be used separately or stacked, with an order selector to modify the gain structure.
Stacking produces a fuller, more sustained sound, while maintaining good legibility and a defined attack.
