Edmond, OK (May 26, 2017) -- Keeley Electronics is proud to announce the Rotten Apple, a mutilated op-amp fuzz that tastes like the '90s.

With just a whiff of op-amp fuzz left after mutilating this muff, you're left with something that's dreamy in bass and gain range. What's needed for that rotten-to-the-core sound is a thick dose of bass, gain for days, and a perfectly scooped midrange that recalls the 1990's on speed dial.

The gain of the Rotten Apple has an amazing range of gain on tap, and it is sensitive to your guitar and strumming. So even though it pumps and smashes through your speaker cab, you can roll your guitar back to float like a butterfly. The tone control gives you everything from submerged stoner rock sludge to highs that claw at your speakers.

The Keeley Electronics Rotten Apple Fuzz is available at Keeley Electronics and dealers worldwide. Street Price is $149.

Keeley Electronics is proud to announce the Mesmer Astral Delay, an arpeggiated delay with octave up, octave down, and fifth modes.

The Keeley Mesmer Astral Delay has at least three modes we can rap about. There are two delay lines that are like bong hits—blow single notes or chords and the room's lungs expand in 5ths or octaves. Then there is an arpeggiator that sings in smokes rings. It swirls tones into billowing chords from the ember of a single note.

Plug into a compressor so as not to alert the police, or play through a looper for a completely wrecked experience. Add another delay or reverb pedal for some real sticky icky!

Keeley Electronics is proud to announce the Oxblood Germanium, an updated take on our original Oxblood Overdrive

We started with our original Oxblood circuit, took out the compression and added a germanium transistor to the output. The result is a very bold, yet smooth overdrive! With less compression now, the Oxblood Germanium Overdrive flattens out the midrange. Next, we couldn't help adding a touch of another germanium transistor. This takes out any harness from that release of compression. We call it perfection.

The Oxblood Overdrive is 100% hand built. The craftsmen and designers at Keeley wanted this to be our finest and loudest moment, so we made it in the "Thunder" color scheme. AND, this is the first run of cases we powder coated in house! A first for Keeley that we are very proud of!

The Keeley Electronics Oxblood Germanium is available at Keeley Electronics and dealers worldwide. Street Price is $249.
