The Rudis Dual Overdrive – Two Iconic Voices, One Handmade Pedal
The Rudis Dual Overdrive by Teos Music combines two legendary overdrive circuits in a single handmade enclosure, offering unmatched versatility, dynamics, and tone-shaping power. Built with premium through-hole components, rare BA282 diodes, and high-quality 4558 op-amps, Rudis delivers the warmth, detail, and responsiveness that mass-produced pedals can’t match.
String Singer Side – Smooth, expressive overdrive
On the right side, the String Singer delivers the refined voice of a modded Tube Screamer. Expect a smooth midrange push, articulate pick attack, and sweet sustain that feels alive under your fingers. The Fat / Stock / Glass EQ switch and Warmth / Asym dip switches let you tailor the tone to your guitar and amp: from fat, full lows to crystal-clear highs, with the ability to add warmth or asymmetrical clipping for more harmonic texture. Perfect for blues, fusion, and lead tones that cut through the mix with finesse.
Heavy Hand Side – Open, amp-like crunch
On the left, the Heavy Hand provides a powerful take on the Marshall Bluesbreaker circuit. Open, harmonically rich, and touch-sensitive, it cleans up beautifully with your guitar’s volume while roaring with authentic crunch when pushed. The Fat / Stock / Glass EQ switch and Asym / Dist dip switches unlock everything from smooth breakup to aggressive, hard-clipped grind. It’s the essence of classic British overdrive, packed into a versatile and dynamic pedal.
Stacked Power – Order switch flexibility
Use each side independently, or stack them for massive, expressive gain structures. With the Order switch, you can choose whether the String Singer (TS) runs into the Heavy Hand (BB), or vice versa, creating endless combinations of sustain, grit, and articulation.
Authentic Clipping with BA282 Diodes
The Rudis uses a matched set of rare BA282 dual-silicon diodes (eight per pedal), chosen for their refined clipping texture and musical compression. This carefully selected array delivers smooth yet dynamic overdrive with balanced compression and rich harmonics, true to high-end boutique circuits—without revealing or limiting the internal diode topology.
From bluesy smooth leads to roaring British crunch, and everything in between, the Rudis Dual Overdrive is a versatile powerhouse that puts two of the most inspiring overdrive voices at your feet.
