Keeley launches Retro Super Germanium Overdrive pedal
Custom shop stompbox promises to be “a fuzz, drive and cranked amp all in one”
Keeley has unveiled the Retro Super Germanium Overdrive pedal, a modified version of its Super Phat Mod.
Promising to be a “fuzz, drive and a cranked amp all in one”, the Retro Super Germanium Overdrive is based around a germanium amplifier stage, which simulates an old-school fuzz plugged into a cranked amp, apparently.
Keeley has also tweaked the secondary gain stage to be more dynamic, and equally adept at low- and high-gain applications.
The Retro Super Germanium Overdrive is available now for $179 - Keeley Electronics has more.
