Keeley Electronics Red Dirt Overdrive

Solid pedal (Alu case. Kind Hammond 1590). It is compact and solid. It is red glitter, ca hardly takes place.
It is one overdrive pedal 100% analog, true-bypass mounted hand by the firm of Robert Keeley USA.
No computer editing and size so the pedal rack ....
Usual connection In, Out and external 9V power jack.

UTILIZATION

The config. is simple since regardless of the setting chosen, the fact ca! The manual (mini 3volets inset) gives three basic settings quite convincing. The settings are super simple since in the range of a 3 year old!

SOUND QUALITY

Ah, finally something interesting! I was in my usual rig 1 TS808, 1Jekyll & Hyde ², homemade TS 1JoyoUltimate mod., The drive of the Nova System plus overdrive amps (Vox and Fender tube of course) so I will make comparisons! !
Already, it is worth noting the extreme escalation of gain knob. Moving from 8 to 8:30 am and it's another sound that happens. Limit 8 to 8:15 for that matter! So distrust for those who play by rangers bourrinant, change the setting came quickly. The whole race of winning is exploitable small crunchy thrill to drive big atmosphere ACDC early, everything is there!. Reserve volume is impressive and the level knob is also very progressive, you can use the pedal as a clean boost. This is significant.
So I inserted directly into my amps and effect loop (why ...!), It's really good work. Sounds in all cases.
Two Fender Tele equipped with BKP Piledriver and Fender CS 50's, the fact ca. On my Meloduende in BKP Brown Sugar, ca even more. Les Paul, the fact ca and Gretsch, ca does too .... So, I liked it, you'll understand.
Small flat if you will, the tone knob that goes until 2am. Beyond that, it's very, very, very sharp. In use boost, ca pass, but with a little gain ... that serious face!

OVERALL OPINION

I hit the pedal via eBay for 60 € which makes the deal of the year saw its retail price. It came in the original box and in the original box. I think the seller had committed suicide when I "paypalé" sub given the level of auction ... but ... complete an auction on a Sunday AM, it's really dangerous!
I will not detail the hundreds of models that I've had or tried before but I was lusting over since qq time the Yanks site so when I saw it, I went for and I am delighted. I suggest you put a boost in front to increase more opportunities and even for lovers of sounds that are trying to place a TS (true bypass) in series, you will see SRV enters your body, it is very nice!
So if you are looking for a high-end drive that makes sense and follow your touch without imposing his own sound (or dirty way!), You can go there with your eyes closed!
