Keeley Angry 4-in-1 Distortion/Fuzz

Keeley · pedal

The Keeley Angry Orange is a multi-mode distortion pedal from Keeley Electronics combining Angry Charlie-inspired high-gain distortion with Orange amplifier-inspired overdrive character, delivering two distinct British high-gain voices in a single enclosure. The Angry mode delivers JCM800-inspired high-gain saturation while the Orange mode provides the warm, harmonically dense British character associated with Orange amplification. Both modes are independently controllable and can be stacked for combined British gain character.
