The Keeley Super Rodent is a versatile overdrive and distortion pedal that gives you a variety of analog tones in one compact unit. Designed for serious guitarists looking to expand their sonic palette, the Super Rodent combines two classic distortion circuits with two hybrid modes for a total of four distinct overdrive sounds.

Choose Between Hard or Soft Clipping for Your Desired Distortion Flavor

With the Super Rodent, you can select either hard or soft diode clipping to get the overdrive sound you want. In the RT position, hard clipping provides an aggressive, edgy distortion suitable for high-gain genres like metal. Switch to the SD position for soft clipping and a smoothly overdriven tube-like saturation perfect for blues or rock.

Dial in Your Tone With Two Different Tone Control Circuits

Shape your overdrive tone even further with the Super Rodent's dual tone control circuits. In the RT position, the tone control simply rolls off high frequencies as you turn it counterclockwise. Switch to the SD position for an active low-pass filter that opens up more bass and treble frequencies as you turn the knob up. With two tone circuits, plus clipping options, the tonal variations are nearly endless.

Blend Classic and Custom Overdrive Sounds With Hybrid Modes

Looking to forge your own signature distortion sound? The Super Rodent's hybrid modes allow you to blend elements of the SD overdrive and RT distortion circuits to create unique overdrive flavors. For instance, you could pair the SD overdrive's soft clipping with the RT distortion's active tone control for a distortion that's simultaneously smooth yet articulate. With experimentation, you'll be crafting custom overdrive tones in no time.

Enjoy Silent Switching and the Freedom of Buffered or True Bypass

The Super Rodent features a built-in buffer for noiseless activation and bypass. For tonal transparency when disengaged, you can easily switch the pedal to true-bypass mode with the press of a switch. Whether you prefer the convenience of buffered bypass or the purity of true bypass, the Super Rodent has you covered.
