Rodenberg Amplification released the Daphne Hight Voltage Overdrive, an overdrive pedal that the maker lists under the SKU DAPHNE OVERDRIVE1. Guitar Pedal X reported the release on September 18, 20262.
According to Guitar Pedal X, the pedal ramps a 9V DC [-] input voltage to circa 280V internally, which the site says delivers "tube-like dynamics and an amp-like feel reactive to playing style and pick attack"2. The central Amp Voicing toggle-switch selects Clean or Drive voicings, refined by 2-way Gain and Tight toggle-switches and a 3-band EQ2. The control set is listed as Bass, Middle, Treble, Gain, Volume, a Gain switch for Low Gain or High Gain, a Tight switch for Looser or Tighter, and the Amp Voicing switch2. The enclosure is a 1590BB in portrait format with side-mounted jacks2.
Guitar Pedal X gives the US price as $229 and reports that the Daphne is available from Rodenberg's webstore, with availability at Andertons, the main UK stockist, described as likely imminent2.
"A really smart, versatile and granular overdrive - which makes the best of its internal 280 Volt Ramping - which delivers fantastic tube-amp-like dynamics."
The reviewer's one reservation concerned the jack placement: "My only tiny niggle here - is I would have preferred top mounted jacks"2.
