Keeley Super Phat Mod Full Range Overdrive

Many say the Phat Mod is their favorite tone from a pedal. It’s that natural break-up that just feels good and lets you express yourself. The dynamics make it feel alive and part of your fingers. That’s the reason the modified pedal has stayed on people’s boards for nearly 15 years. The Keeley Super Phat Mod is Keeley’s famous mod now perfected with amazing sounding JFETs that emulate old tube amps in a unique way.

The original pedal was a great design that features tube-like amp stages, tube amp tone stacks, and a variety of tone shaping circuits that bring out the best in any guitar’s pickups. The problem with doing one in the past has been to try and find the perfect FET to capture the magic. If the harmonic content and grain of the distortion and overdrive weren’t exactly right, Keeley moved on and waited to try out other devices.

Well, after all these years Craighton Hale stumbled upon a Toshiba device that had the magic. Edmond, OK resident guitar hero Aaron Pierce, known for being very critical of even the most minute nuances, was grinning from ear to ear when he approved this Ear-Candy final version.

Keeley had found the magic device that pushed it over the top. They had to dress it in gold and royal purple. The name badge had to speak of it’s history and heritage. With Super Phat Mod in an old black face style logo and the metal flake clear sparkle on gold Keeley felt it would look incredible in any rig.
