Keeley have an outstanding reputation for making boutique compression and drive pedals and taking simple effects to the next level. The Aria delivers two-in-one stompbox effects to fill your need of gain and control in equal measure.

Part of what makes the Aria so impressive is the ability to select whether the drive or compressor lines up first in the signal chain. The classic compressor first routing squeezes static noise to a complete minimum and delivers an even output across all your playing, no matter how hard you pick. When placed behind the overdrive, you’ll find the sustain is considerably increased.

The Aria also benefits from TRS insert jacks to insert other effects in between the compressor and the overdrive. 

Stylish compression

On the compressor side of the pedal, you have four dials to change the level, sustain, blend and tone running through your chain. Level simply varies the overall effect the pedal has and the strength of the compression while sustain lets the tone breathe, unlike some other compressors that squash the life out of the guitar. 

The tone and blend controls work in harmony to produce a range of earthy to treble-cutting tones and note definition you wouldn’t find on compressors in a lower price bracket.  

Versatile gain

Keeley have packed two of their overdrives into the Aria, providing a wide array of tonal options. Using the high/low switch, swap between the Keeley Red Dirt high gain setting; a gritty overdrive with smooth saturation, and the much cleaner White Sands transparent drive, which adds crispness to a mix rather than full-on distortion. 

This side of the pedal is more straightforward when dialling in your sound, with simple level, drive and tone knobs. Whatever setting you apply, expect plenty of high-class clarity.

Tasty Pedals made by Keeley

Just Pedal Ingredients.

Compressor — A compressor pedal evens out your playing by reducing the volume of loud notes and boosting quieter ones, creating a more balanced and consistent sound. It helps smooth dynamics, add sustain, and bring out detail in your tone — especially useful for clean guitar parts, funk rhythms, and country-style picking. By controlling attack and release settings, you can tailor how quickly the compression reacts, from subtle smoothing to tight, punchy control. In a pedalboard setup, a compressor can be used early in the signal chain to shape your overall response or after drives to tame peaks. It adds polish and presence, helping your guitar sit better in a mix and feel more refined under the fingers. A good compressor doesn’t just level your sound — it enhances your tone, giving every note clarity, strength, and definition.. Guitar Pedals — Your pedal is like a signature dish for your sound — a flavour-packed creation that transforms the bland ingredients of your guitar into something unforgettable. Each one adds its own seasoning, texture, and heat, turning a simple meal into a feast of tone. These tasty little boxes sit in a row, like plates on a buffet, letting you mix and match flavours as you play. With one tap of your foot, you can swap sweet for spicy, subtle for smoky, and serve up something completely new. From the comfort food of warm overdrive to the fiery kick of fuzz, from smooth jazz sauce to heavy-metal spice, pedals give players a full menu of options to express their taste.  And just like with food, once you’ve tried one dish, you’ll want to sample them all. Collecting, trading, and discovering new flavours soon becomes part of the joy of being a tone-loving gourmet geek with a guitar.. New. Overdrive — Like a golden layer of melted cheese — warm, gooey, and just put it all over. It adds just the right amount of richness and grit, turning a clean signal into something smooth and savoury. Designed to mimic the natural breakup of a tube amp pushed to its sweet spot, overdrive delivers the flavour of classic rock and blues in every bite. From creamy mid-gain warmth to crisp edge-of-breakup sparkle, it’s the comfort food of guitar tone — simple, satisfying, and endlessly versatile. Whether it’s a mild crunch or a full-bodied roar, overdrive is where good taste begins..
