Keeley Blues Disorder 4-in-1

Keeley · pedal

The Keeley Blues Disorder is a 4-in-1 overdrive/distortion pedal combining two complete analog drive circuits, Bluesbreaker-style (BB) and OCD-style (OC) voicings, in one enclosure. Two switches let players separate the tone control from the clipping section on each circuit, and mixing and matching the Tone and Drive switches unlocks two additional hybrid sounds beyond the two base circuits, giving four genuinely distinct drive voicings total. It accepts either 9V or 18V power and offers switchable buffered or true bypass.
