Blended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement. Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.37% — somewhat different

The Keeley KA-Orange is a combination distortion pedal from Keeley Electronics combining the Angry Charlie JCM800-inspired high-gain distortion and Orange amplifier-inspired overdrive character in a compact format. The dual British gain voices provide JCM800-style aggressive saturation and warm Orange-inspired density in a single enclosure suited to players who work within the British amp character spectrum.
The Keeley MK3 Driver is a gain pedal from Keeley Electronics inspired by the MK3 vintage British circuit character, delivering the harmonically complex, warm overdrive associated with vintage British driver designs. The MK3 Driver captures the tonal quality of vintage British gain stages with Keeley's American build reliability and component quality. Suited to blues, classic rock, and British-influenced playing contexts.
