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.

Specifications

  • Power: 9V DC PSU (Adapter Not Included)
  • Controls: Tone Knob, Drive Knob, Level Knob, 2x RT/SD Switches
  • True/Buffered Bypass
  • Soft-Touch Switch

Keeley Electronics

In the current JustPedals catalogue, Keeley Electronics is represented by Overdrive Pedals, Compressor Pedals and Fuzz Pedals. Current listings include Keeley Fuzz Bender, Keeley Katana Mini and Keeley Compressor Pro. That makes the range relevant to players looking for drive, gain and clipping, plus time-based effects and ambience. Check each model for its exact circuit or processing platform, controls, power requirements and connections, particularly where the catalogue includes both pedals and supporting gear.

Overdrive Pedals

Overdrive pedals add controlled clipping and harmonics while retaining more of the instrument’s attack and dynamics than heavier distortion. They can simulate a pushed valve amp, add a mid lift, tighten the low end or provide a lower-gain always-on voice. Gain, tone, output, presence, bass and clipping options determine how the pedal responds to pickups and the next stage. Before choosing, decide whether it should clean up from the guitar volume, stack with another drive or feed an already driven amplifier.

Analogue

Analogue products use continuous audio circuitry for some or all of the signal path, so clipping, filtering or modulation arises from physical components rather than sampled algorithms. The label does not guarantee a particular tone; component choice, headroom, bias, noise and the surrounding gain stages still matter. Check whether the switching, presets, control section or cabinet stage is digital when the exact signal path is important.

Distortion

Distortion uses deliberate clipping to add harmonics, compression and sustain. Some circuits are voiced for amp-like crunch, others for high-gain rhythm or an abrasive texture. Gain, tone, presence, resonance, blend and noise-control features determine how the pedal interacts with pickups and the next stage. Before choosing, decide whether it will push an amplifier, run into a clean platform or feed a cabinet simulation, because the same control settings can behave very differently in each route.

Hybrid

Hybrid products combine analogue audio circuitry with digital control, conversion or processing. The useful question is which part of the signal path stays analogue and which functions—such as presets, filtering, modulation or USB—are handled digitally. This can provide hands-on response with modern recall, but latency, power and bypass behaviour vary. Check the signal path and routing rather than assuming the label describes the entire product.
