Kernom overdrives the 2023 Birmingham Guitar Show

Kernom overdrives the 2023 Birmingham Guitar Show

Welcome to the beginning of an exciting new journey! Today marks the first post in a series where we'll be sharing the most significant milestones and events that shape the story of Kernom. From product launches and trade shows to collaborations and community events, we'll be taking you behind the scenes of our brand's journey. So, fasten your seatbelts, and get ready to discover the heart and soul of Kernom through our upcoming blog posts!

We recently attended the 2023 Birmingham Guitar Show on February 25th and 26th, marking our first venture outside of France. And boy, was it an incredible show!

Our booth was a standout at the show, featuring a modern design with still life themes that perfectly capture the new artistic direction of our brand.

Visitors had the opportunity to test the RIDGE through a Strymon Iridium in clean Fender mode via two headphone setups during quieter periods. And for those who wanted a more immersive experience, we had a live setup where they could test our product in actual conditions or watch Olivier Lapauze (from the band Heavenly) shred on his new pedalboard.

We would like to extend a special thank you to Andertons for their generous support. Their beautiful test guitars from Sire and Fender Hot Rod Deluxe amp were a perfect match for our booth.

Even though our booth wasn't located directly next to the other effects pedal manufacturers, we still managed to attract a large crowd, including some visitors who came specifically to see us. We hope you enjoyed testing the RIDGE and look forward to introducing more exciting products in the future!
