The Keeley Red Dirt Distortion and Overdrive Pedal is currently retailing at £219 and it is out of stock. Available to be delivered to you by post direct (some charge may apply).The team at Just Pedals think that Keeley Electronics nailed it with the Keeley Red Dirt Distortion and Overdrive Pedal.
Keeley's Red Dirt is a Swiss Army Knife of distortion and overdrive tones. It packs all its punch into a single compact pedal with just three knobs and one toggle switch.
The Red Dirt produces everything from a clean boost (Dirt down, Level up) through to a crunchy shimmering overdrive. From there, you can just keep adding more and more filth until the tone is as saturated as you like!
One of the best thing about the Red Dirt is that all the way through the wide scope of overdrive sounds, there's still something magically and characteristically 'Keeley' about it: just that extra bit of definition that marks all Keeley pedals as a cut above the rest.
Here's what Keeley say about the Red Dirt Pedal:
Well we have been taken over by the spirit of development! We are happy to announce our first new product roll out since our Luna Overdrive arrived on the scene a couple of years ago. The “Red Dirt” overdrive, named for our home state of Oklahoma’s most noticeable geographic feature, as well as its iconic local brew of country music, is a classic tube style overdrive pedal with a sound that is as “Keeley” as it gets.
We’ve taken all of the clarity, warmth and tonality of our famous “Mod Plus” modded pedals and, with the addition of a 2 position toggle, the option to have the full unbridled viciousness and high gain of our “Baked” variation. The resulting pedal is an overdrive that can fill nearly any need. From sweet, subtle blues tones to screaming, high gain crunch it’s all there (even pulling a double duty as a near clean boost).

Distortion
A distortion pedal is a type of guitar effects pedal used to add gain, saturation, and harmonic distortion to the guitar signal, resulting in a more aggressive and gritty tone. Distortion pedals are widely used across various music genres, particularly in rock, metal, punk, and alternative styles, to achieve heavier and more intense guitar tones.
Here are the key features and functions of a distortion pedal:
1. **Gain (or Drive)**: The gain control adjusts the amount of distortion applied to the guitar signal. Increasing the gain setting increases the level of saturation and overdrive, resulting in a more distorted and aggressive tone. Lower gain settings produce a cleaner sound with less distortion.
2. **Tone**: The tone control adjusts the frequency response of the distorted signal, allowing you to tailor the tonal characteristics of the distortion effect. Depending on the pedal, the tone control may boost or cut specific frequency ranges, such as bass, midrange, or treble, to shape the overall sound.
3. **Level (or Output)**: The level control adjusts the overall output volume of the distorted signal. This allows you to match the level of the distorted signal with the rest of your effects chain or amplifier, ensuring consistent volume levels when engaging the pedal.
4. **Mode (or Voice)**: Some distortion pedals feature multiple modes or voicings that offer different types of distortion or gain characteristics. These modes may include options such as “Vintage,” “Modern,” or “High Gain,” each providing a distinct tonal flavor and level of saturation.
Distortion pedals offer several benefits and creative uses for guitarists:
– **Increased Gain and Sustain**: By adding gain and saturation to the guitar signal, distortion pedals increase the overall volume and sustain of the instrument, allowing notes and chords to ring out longer and with more intensity.
– **Tonal Shaping**: Distortion pedals often include tone controls that allow you to shape the frequency response of the distorted signal. This allows you to dial in the desired amount of bass, midrange, and treble to suit your playing style and musical preferences.
– **Emphasis of Harmonics**: Distortion pedals emphasize the harmonics and overtones present in the guitar signal, resulting in a richer, more complex tone with added depth and character. This can make lead lines and solos stand out and cut through the mix more effectively.
– **Versatility and Flexibility**: Distortion pedals come in a wide range of styles and voicings, from mild overdrive to high-gain distortion. This versatility allows you to choose a pedal that best suits your playing style, musical genre, and tonal preferences.
Overall, distortion pedals are essential tools for guitarists seeking to achieve heavier, more aggressive, and saturated tones. Whether used subtly to add warmth and edge to clean tones or used more aggressively to create crushing distortion, distortion pedals can enhance your guitar tone and bring new dimensions to your playing.

Overdrive
Overdrive is a popular guitar effect that creates a warm, distorted sound by amplifying the signal of an electric guitar, typically using a pedal or an amp’s built-in circuit. The effect simulates the natural distortion that occurs when a tube amplifier is pushed to its limit, creating a rich, harmonic response that adds sustain, warmth, and character to the tone. Overdrive pedals are commonly used to add grit and growl to a clean tone without the harshness of full distortion.
The overdrive effect works by boosting the input signal, causing the amplifier to break up and clip the waveform, resulting in a smooth, musical distortion. This is often more subtle and less aggressive than other forms of distortion, making overdrive pedals ideal for blues, classic rock, and country players who seek a dynamic sound that responds to their playing touch. Overdrive pedals can be used in conjunction with other effects like delay and reverb to shape a more complex, evolving sound. Popular overdrive pedals include the Ibanez Tube Screamer, the Fulltone OCD, and the Boss OD-3, each offering different tonal characteristics, from smooth and bluesy to punchy and aggressive.
Pedal
A pedal is an electronic device that alters the sound of an electric guitar by applying various effects. Pedals are typically connected in a series between the guitar and amplifier, allowing guitarists to switch effects on and off with their feet while playing.
This enables musicians to quickly and easily change their sound, adding versatility and creativity to their performances.
Pedals are essential tools in many musical genres, including rock, blues, jazz, and metal, allowing artists to craft distinctive and dynamic soundscapes.
Once you buy one, you can’t stop and then you have to sell them and buy more.
