The newest pedals from Keeley Electronics each offer two independent effects featuring classic overdrive/distortion circuits. The effects are carefully paired together and allow you to mix-and-match their respective clipping sections (one hard clipping and one soft clipping) and tone sections. The Noble Screamer combines a Nobels ODR-1 (hard clip) and Ibanez Tube Screamer (soft clip). Angry Orange unites a mighty Big Muff (soft clip) and Boss DS-1 (hard clip). Blues Disorder pairs a Marshall Blues Breaker (soft clip) with a Fulltone OCD (hard clip). And the Super Rodent combines a Boss SD-1 (soft clip) with the venerable Rat pedal (hard clip). The fun really begins when you experiment with mashups: you can link the overdrive section from Circuit A with the tone section of circuit B, and vice versa. These “hyrbrid” modes offer unusual and unexpected delights. Suddenly you have four pedals in one.
