Keeley Oxblood Overdrive Effects Pedal

Keely OX

A distortion that captures the “Mythical Beast” tone without being just another clone.

When inspiration hits, you need the voice to proclaim it. When you need that voice, count on the Keeley Oxblood Overdrive to be your beast of burden.

The Keeley Oxblood Overdrive is Keeley’s response to everyone cloning the “Mythical Beast” pedal. They decided to build an original design, and wanted to build a new circuit that let players blend from perfectly clean to amp-crushing roar with that impossibly huge and focused midrange that makes any guitar—Strat, Paul, Tele—sound incredible.

Clean, Distortion, Fuzz—It’s All There
With the Keeley Oxblood Overdrive you roll off the Drive Control down and get a perfectly clean sound, you can dial in any amount of distortion and volume to stomp an amp into pure tonal nirvana. The Keeley Oxblood Overdrive offers you two ways to clip and saturate your signal with overtones by selecting carefully chosen diodes. Magical and mythical, monstrous and most satisfying they are indeed.

The key to the ultimate overdrive in their opinion is the ability to control six different parameters: Bass response, clipping, tone control, volume, drive and midrange.

Bass response
Phat Switch, cuts bass response to give you that classic Screamer or K-like midrange shelving. The bass response when cut is saturated with a hint of 2nd order harmonics. Punchy and full yet not overbearing. It cuts like a buffalo, what can I say?

Clipping
Sometimes there just ain’t enough gain in the world. Well, not with this beast. The Clipping Switch gives you the ability to sing with near infinite sustain or just stand on your amp like a chief. Get everything from Texas rock to bold pretty boy Strat sounds that make you wanna die.

Tone Control
You need to be able to dial in the highs perfectly or nothing else matters, right? The highs are what makes it ear candy or ice picks. This pedal gives you the range to do whatever you want to do.

Volume
You have to be able to put the pedal to the metal whenever you need to. Voltage doubling in their circuit gives you just that. Headroom for days. Slay an amp, leave it a bloody mess. No, you won’t blow tubes, but you will have them at the right temperature to make them glow with delight.

Drive
Go from “Is it on?” cleans to searing sustain and saturation. It pushes you. Compels you to play.

Midrange
The 6th sign of a wonderful overdrive pedal is what’s under the hood. It’s masterful creation of sultry mids. The kind of mids singers or cellos are known for, throaty and powerful. Not just a woman tone, but a manly roar. Not congested and stuffed up, but rather, Ffcused and brilliant.

Trifecta
The Keeley Oxblood Overdrive was designed by Robert Keeley and Craighton Hale with a lot of help and insight from Jack Orman. Jack Orman has been a pioneer in the modern world of effects for 20 years. His thoughts and ideas are incorporated by nearly every boutique builder out there. Here is your chance to hear a brand new creation designed to out perform any of the clones.
