Katana Boost

As far as guitar clean boosts go, the Katana is KING TONE.

It's the pedal to have for the finishing touch on your tone. Want a mirror image of your tone, only louder? This is it. The Katana is also a fat, harmonically rich boost, just pull out on the volume knob and stretch your imagination with overdriven tone! You can keep it on all the time to push your amp harder, or as an occasional boost to cut through the mix.

Java Boost

The Java Boost is a germanium based TREBLE BOOSTER, it is not a clean boost.

It is designed to give you classic tones from the 60's and 70's, and man does it ever!!! It must be used with a cranked amp that is overdriven or distorting a bit already. The more the amp and pedal are cranked, the more the creamy, beautiful, sustaining distortion there will be.

Fuzz Head

Keeley's First Original Design Fuzz/Overdrive!

This might be what you've been looking for in an overdrive/fuzz box! The blend between the two is simply wonderful! The Fuzz Head is designed to work like Fuzz Face pedals that many players use as a LEAD BOOST. A Fuzz Face can be muddy, lacking note definition, too bassy, and lacking sustain. An overdrive sometimes doesn't give enough or is too smooth. In contrast, our design is transparent, has a better frequency response, and gives you that cutting edge for lead breaks

Time Machine Boost

World Class Time Machine guitar effect pedal.

  • This is a 2 channel, 3 mode pre-amplifier (booster) for driving your amplifiers into overdrive or saturation.
  • The 2 channels are labeled VINTAGE and MODERN.
  • The Vintage side is inspired by rare germanium boosts like the Dallas Rangemaster.
  • The Modern side a new +23dB gain dual JFET, very transparent, guitar signal amplifier.
  • Our design uses a Maxim MAX1044 voltage doubling IC to get additional headroom.
  • If 6 were 9 ? How about if 9 volts became 18 volts!
  • As with all Keeley built electronics it incorporates top of the line audiophile style parts including metal film caps, resistors, silver solder!, etc...
  • Teflon-coated wiring leaves this unit breath-taking on the inside. Open one up for yourself!
  • Use the Buy Now button below or you can purchase one from Legendary Tones.
  • Legendary Tones (www.timemachineboost.com) has a wonderfully complete description and sound clips of many sorts. Please give it a listen. This could be what you've missing in a live setting.

Looper

This is an incredibly small true-bypass looper box from Keeley Electronics! This little wonder is only 1.5 inches wide and 3 2/3 inches long. This will fit in the tightest of pedal boards and offer you a dramatic improvement in tone. Connect any effect to this unit that is "old school" and not true-bypass. In particular Vintage wahs, echoes, phasers, fuzz face type pedals, etc., or even new effects that might have a weak bypass system. These elderly effects rob tone when they are off. Now You can make them truly bypassed when off with this little box. Works with or without power. When you add a DC supply to this unit the two LED let you know if the loop is active or not. BLUE LED indicates your signal is passing through the vintage effect, RED LED indicates true-bypass. STOP TONE DRAIN!

Use it as a multiple effects switcher!

Add several effects in a chain and then switch them all on at once.

Use it as a tuner mute switch. Plug a tuner in this box and not only prevent the tuner from draining away your tone, but tune in silence!

TS-9 Mod Plus

The Legendary TS9, THE Tube Screamer! A History making pedal! How can it be better?!?!? Well, in may ways folks! Read on.... See just how far we can take it to the limit of tone nirvana!

Did you Catch the Music at the Football Game in New Orleans? U2's the EDGE had our TS9 MOD PLUS up there according to Master Guitar Tech and Player Dallas!!!

You might ask, "How fully natural, warm, and sweet does our regular TS9 sound?" Peter Frampton had me modify his TS808 to my specs. I felt wild doing it but heck, he loved it so much he is sending me his other ones! Thanks again Peter, nice working with you. Jon Herington of Steely Dan uses this deluxe mod, Ike Willis of Frank Zappa uses this mod! Dude, come on...this is THE Mod To Have!

THIS IS NOT YOUR BASIC CLASSIC 808 Mod, It's much more, read on Tube Screamer fans!

Well, LARRY CRANE is using one as his main pedal! Yep, Guitarist for John Mellencamp for 15 years, he defined heartland rock and a guitar tone for it. Larry earned his elite sideman status by working with such artists as Steve Earle, Rosanne Cash, Bonnie Raitt, Lou Reed, John Prine, William Golden, John Fogerty, and legendary producer Bob Johnston, among others. Please do yourself a favor and visit his site! LARRY CRANE

Keeley Effects use the TI RC4558P like the old TS808 and they all come with a BLUE LED.

Boss Blues Driver Mod

The BD-2 Phat Mod is Transparent Overdrive with Full Range sound.

For tone-purists, this is it! It's not simply a distortion pedal but rather a tone tool that adds to your guitar tone, supplying really nice lows, crystal clear high frequency, great picking response and detail. For those wanting to set their amp on fire but not change the tone of their system, this is the pedal.

The BD-2 is not the same as a TS9 pedal. It has a more FULL-RANGE sound and is much more TRANSPARENT. When cranked it offers a grittier/more-edgy tone.

TS808 Mod

The new TS808 offers a vintage look and sound. Many people are wondering if it needs mods since it's the Holy Grail TS808 with the new JRC chip installed. Sure it does! If you look at the board, it's the exact same as the TS9 and has the same "faults," if you will. Areas that need improvement are limited bass response that cuts so much that it appears as a huge midrange hump in the sound. Limited Gain range...doesn't get clean enough or on the other hand, doesn't get enough distortion. So we increase the gain range, in gets cleaner and more distorted through the range of the Drive Control. Also, the lack of transparency or muddiness becomes a problem for many users. All these things are fixed with our mods. Our approach is to give you the most out of this classic pedal.

TS9DX Flexi-4X2 Mod

If you've been waiting for the right TUBE SCREAMER, Keeley Electronics offers the latest mod for the TS9 DX! Want to have the sound and tone of the guitar gods!?!

  • The very cool sounding Texas Instruments 4558 chip
  • Genuine Panasonic Metal Stack Film Caps for maximum transparency and bell like tone
  • Metal Film Resistors for Low Noise
  • Increased Input Impedance for crisper more lively tone
  • Each of the 4 modes are designed to give you incredible tube amp tones using a proven blend of diodes, LED and Cap changes
  • Keeley Lake Placid BLUE LED
  • HIGH GAIN / LOW GAIN Toggle Switch (easy switching from Mod Plus to Baked Mod)
  • True-Bypass for spacious tone both on and off! With the many tone robbing parts of the JFET Switching System and Buffers taken out, the FLEXI-4x2 sounds better than any tube screamer ON OR OFF! (Note: the stock footswitch no longer functions now that we've upgraded it to true bypass.)

TS-9 Baked Mod

This is for the guy that wants THREE times Saturation with all the TONE!

How is that possible?! Keeley still uses the TI RC4558P in this unit. It delivers the best performance overall. They use a very high quality socket with gold inserts. The connection between IC and socket can hardly be better. The drive circuit is further pushed by lowering the resistance another notch.

The response is the same but drive is 3XXX!!! All metal film resistors and metal film capacitors are used in the mod because they have less noise. They raise one of the resistors that affect the input impedance a slight bit (510k to 620k). This allows your pickups to breathe and you have less "tone-drain" when off. They also change the input transistor to a MPSA18 for lower noise operation. This pedal has the Drive Control range shifted...in comparison to a stock TS9, the drive knob goes from 4 to 14 instead of 0-10. This pedal is designed to be used in a dual over drive setup.

DS-1 Ultra Mod

The Keeley Modded BOSS DS-1 Guitar Effect Offers the Finest in Marshall-Amp Tone-In-A-Box!!! Perfect for tones like AC/DC, VAN HALEN, STEVE VAI.

  • With a diode Toggle Switch you have the DS-ULTRA! Huge tube like tone, switch back and you have the classic Seeing Eye Mod (SEM) version of the pedal for high gain, tube like distortion!
  • Extra mods to increase the distortion range at maximum settings.
  • Mods to correct the bass response and give you a fuller, more powerful tone. Perfect for Strats now with this mod!
  • Larger Silver Mica Cap installed to further smooth the overall sound.
  • Comes with Cool Knobs!
  • Toggle Switch Up - Our Standard Seeing Eye Mod.
  • Toggle Down - Adds another LED to the clipping circuit for a Large Fat Tone.
  • The Extra LED increases the volume output of the pedal a bit, great for using the DS-1 as a pre-amp to push the amp or to fine tune a low distortion sound on the unit. The way Keeley engineers the mod, it is has increased 2nd order harmonics and tube-like qualities.

Stacked SD-1 Mod

The SD-1 has a great tone to start with, but now every component added is of the highest quality. Metal film capacitors are used in the to provide the smoothest midrange and high frequency components to your tone while increasing the bass response of the pedal. Metal film resistors are used in all of our changes to give each pedal a consistent sound with extremely low-noise. In addition, Keeley has improved the BOSS switching making it even closer to true-bypass!
Keeley is now stacking two TI4558P chips for much BETTER DISTORTION, ARTICULATION, and TRANSPARENCY, while generating LESS NOISE! These two TI chips work in parallel, mounted on top of each other and soldered together.
All of the stock SD-1 settings are still possible throughout the midrange of the control. Plus, none of the singing sweet midrange tone is gone! But you will also notice that your pedal has an improved bass response due to careful changes in the pedals design. Again Keeley uses metal film caps to ensure the best tone possible.

DD-3 Delay Mod

There are two parts to this mod. First, "SWITCHABLE ANALOG FEEL" and then and EFFECTS LOOP! Players can now take the industry standard compact delay and select between 2 different smoothing caps that give it an analog delay feel or set it for the stock sound! All of this via a small three way toggle switch. We transform the Direct Out of the stock BOSS DD-3 and convert it into an effects loop so that you can add any effect to Just the Repeats!!! Imagine adding slight chorus or phase to the signal so that you can simulate tape effects, warble, wobble, or any other vintage/modern effect you can dream up! You'd be hard pressed to find another delay pedal that gives you this amount of creativity.

AD9 Analog Delay Mod

The reissue AD9 pedals that are out are just fantastic sounding. They use more BBD chips than before for a better tone with less distortion but all of that smooth fantastic analog tone we enjoy!

Are you looking for a true-bypass Analog Delay? Keeley has taken the Ibanez AD9 analog delay to a new level of flexibility and control!

Several mods are available for this pedal including 2 expression pedal ports! Includes GLIDE TEMPO. Control the Delay Time with a custom modded expression pedal! Control the Delay Level with a custom modded expression pedal! Now you can have just the right slap back echo or spacey long delays, or GLIDE back and forth for a crazy warped sounds! Set the level of your delay for the sweet spot. No more adjusting the Level by bending over when you switch between clean and distorted tones. Delay levels are often too loud when you add distortion to your signal.

MT-2 Twilight Zone Mod

There is nothing apocryphal about wanting to be an all-out-rocker, harmonics swinging from your strings like Tarzan!

Need something way more than distortion? Bass as hard as nails, a very flexible EQ, and dark, heavy distortion are in this pedal! Dial in mids and bass response to suit your style of Metal, Thrash, Grunge or PUNK!

There's no need to perorate, pontificate, or bombard you with bombastic details. This pedal IS a Bomb Blast of metal tone... enough to lay waste to the first 13 rows of any concert!

TR-2 Tremolo Mod

TR-2 MODS BACK-ORDERED!

We are not able to ship TR-2 pedals, or mod units sent in for about 5 weeks (as of 2/18/2009). The special design potentiometer that we use for the depth and volume control is back-ordered. Any order placed will be placed on back-order and shipped as soon as possible.

Boss makes a great Tremolo pedal, the TR-2. We have more than solved the volume drop "problem," we've upgraded the audio circuitry and improved the response. We also have reduced unwanted distortions and noise. Now the pedal can even be used as a CLEAN BOOST!

Read on, tremolo fans, for the KING OF TREMOLO MODS!

Framptone 3-Banger

Leave behind the countless problems involved in connecting two amplifiers together. This is a solution for amp switching that we are so confident in we offer complete satisfaction and will offer 100% money back if it doesn't go far beyond your expectations. Keeley electronics is not a "store" so for us to adopt a product, it had to be something that couldn't be found elsewhere or designed any better.

A perfect solution! A non MIDI solution to amplifier switching - it allows you to switch or combine two different amps at the touch of a button, without any of the common problems often found when using an A/B Box. Sturdily built to withstand all the rigors of extensive road use, it is powered by a 9 volt battery ( although you can use power adapters for battery free use ) and the unit is simplicity itself to use.

Framptone Talk Box

The Framptone Talk Box is unlike any other effect out there! And it's definitely out there!! It's not your normal, everyday pedal, and it doesn't plug in like one either, so if you're new to Talk Boxes, please check out the beginners guide manual below.

In essence, this device takes your guitar rig--everything that normally comes out of your amplifier's speakers--and runs it up through a tube that you can manipulate by talking....

Far Out Stuff and FUN FUN FUN!!!!
