Clean, Distortion, Fuzz - It's All There
With the Oxblood Overdrive, you roll off the Drive Control 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. These are different than the standard Oxblood. These diodes were chosen to give you bigger, more open amp tones without a lot of compression.
Ox Blook strives to be the ultimate overdrive, with the critical ability to control five - no, make that six - different parameters.
Bass response. The Phat Switch cuts bass response to give you that classic Screamer or that mythic, 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.
Clipping. Sometimes there just isn't enough gain in the world. Well, not so 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.
Tone Control. You need to be able to dial in the highs perfectly or nothing else matters, right? The highs are what make it ear candy or ice picks. Ox Blood gives you the range to do whatever the heck you want to do. And that's a two-heck sentence.
Volume. You have to be able to put the pedal to the metal whenever you darn well chose. Voltage doubling in our 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. From "Is it ON?" cleans to searing sustain and saturation, the Ox Blood pushes you. Compels you to play. Non-stop playing....
Midrange. Well, 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. Focused and brilliant.
The Keeley Ox Blood, designed by Robert Keeley and Craighton Hale, is your chance to hear a brand new creation designed to outperform any of the clones.
