I was really happy to see that zZounds started carrying some new manufacturers this year including Kernom. The Ridge is so versatile and covers a lot of ground. I don't know if it can replace all your drives, but it seems like it could for some. Runs the gamut from edge of breakup to great high gain lead tones. I haven't messed with the MIDI much, when you register the pedal they send you an editor program that's still in Beta (June 2026) that has some kinks to work out, but Morningstar Engineering just introduced a universal MIDI editor that is compatible and much easier to work with so I may start playing around with it. If you are going to do MIDI you need a TRS Type A 3.5 mm cables or adaptors. So far I'm really happy with it! Viva La France!!
