RhPf Electronics has released the Shodhana pedal, a balanced overdrive designed for players who value clarity, dynamics, and intuitive control. Its original dual-path architecture lets gain and voicing evolve together without tone stacks or switches, delivering a seamless transition from transparent boost to mid-focused drive with strong touch response and natural mix presence. This original circuit continuously morphs from a transparent, organic MOSFET boost into a focused, articulate overdrive using a single Drive control.
Shodhana features include:
• Dual-path gain architecture: Parallel MOSFET boost and overdrive circuits blend dynamically as Drive increases.
• Single Drive control: Simultaneously adjusts gain and voicing without the need for a separate tone control.
• High-mid focused snap: Strong upper-mid bite and fast attack deliver clear mix presence as gain increases.
• High headroom and wide output range: Suitable for pushing amps, stacking pedals, or maintaining clean dynamics.
• Minimal two-knob layout: Drive and Level only for fast, intuitive operation.
• True bypass switching and standard 9V DC operation
• Top-mounted input and output jacks
Shodhana encourages players to work their instrument rather than fight the pedal. As the upper-mid snap builds with Drive, the guitar’s tone control becomes an intuitive way to dial in exactly how much edge and bite you want, whether using it as a wide-open boost or a focused drive.
Like all RhPf Electronics creations, Shodhana is not a clone, mod, or tweak, but a fully original circuit built from the ground up.
Carrying a street price of $179 USD, Shodhana is available at select retailers and can also be purchased directly from the RhPf Electronics online store at rhpfelectronics.com.
