The Keeley Electronics Super Rodent is a 4-in-1 pedal that gives you two well-known distortion circuits and two uniquely new sounds accessed by the toggle switches! Crammed into this stompbox are two different overdrive and distortion circuits, giving you authentically analogue tones for you to create your sound, your way.

Key Features

  • 4-In-1 – Loaded with 4 classic distortion and overdrive tones, you can combine 2 swappable Tone circuits to create 1 hybrid and experimentally unique soundscape.
  • Hybrid Blues – Combine aggressive hard-clipping distortion and smooth overdriven soft-clipping tones, for a crunchy and loud sound.
  • Authentically Analogue – For those searching for the right tone, with an authentic sound, then look no further than the Super Rodent that encapsulates it all.

Monstrous Mutant

You could describe the Super Rodent as a Frankenstein pedal, bridging classic ‘Japanese Super 0-Drive’ and ‘Rodentia Michigander’ distortion circuits, you can create a monstrous hybrid wave of sound.

Diode Clipping

Loaded with both styles of clipping, the Super Rodent can be used to create hard clipping distortion tones or smooth overdrive SD1-style sounds. You can produce more aggressive and sharp distortion when the RT switch is enabled, alternatively, you can capture a soft clipping when the SD switch is engaged, for an articulate, crunchy sound.

Distortion

Distortion pedals take your clean guitar signal and transform it into something bigger, bolder, and full of attitude. By clipping the waveform, they add sustain, bite, and aggression, creating that thick, compressed tone that’s powered rock music for decades. From the growling crunch of classic hard rock to the tight, saturated roar of modern metal, distortion is all about energy and presence. It gives every note weight and authority, pushing your amp to its limits and beyond.

There are countless flavours of distortion, each with its own texture and edge. Some sound smooth and creamy, others raw and gnarly like tearing fabric. It’s the sonic equivalent of turning up the heat until the sound cooks — rich, sizzling, and perfectly seasoned to taste. Whether used for rhythm muscle or soaring leads, a good distortion pedal doesn’t just add volume; it adds personality, grit, and that unmistakable sense of power under your fingers.

New

This is brand new, fresh in, and a UK warranty is included. New Gear always comes from trusted UK music retailers.

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.
