Keeley Stahlhammer Distortion With 3-Band EQ

Keeley STAHLHAMMER Distortion is a hard hitting distortion pedal with no equal at Keeley Electronics.Ê For cranked British amp sounds, this unique pedal design delivers. Keeley has combined classic high gain amp distortion and added a tube amp style EQ to give you a wealth of tones.Ê This unique structure has two modes of operation Ð High Gain/Tube Saturation switchable from the right side of the pedal. The three tone controls, Bass Ð Middle Ð Treble, give you a fantastic range of amp sounds that you will be both familiar with and find easy to dial in.

Distortion Ð Full and thick distortion with hard-clipping style diodes to ground.Ê Based on the LM1458 with its slow slew rate, this pedal just rips for a taking a Strat or Paul in thick and rich heavy clipping.Ê Hey, you need something that sounds just like your amp when it just starts to break up, turn this down to about 9 OÕclock and youÕve got your ampÕs tone nailed.

Volume Ð WeÕve added a 3x make-up gain output buffer to this pedal so that youÕll always be able to drive your amp with authority.

• Treble Ð This is to roll of treble or push upper frequencies around 3.2KHz and higher.
• Gain Switch Ð Two modes of distortion are available from switch mounted on the right hand side of the pedal.
