The Luna Overdrive is about as versatile and transparent of an OD pedal as you'll find and all in a compact box! Utilizing components not found in many other pedals on the market, the Keeley Overdrive allows you to get classic and familiar OD tones, but with nearly unmatched transparency.

The Keeley Overdrive is capable of operating as a smooth, subtle drive that gives you plenty of warming overtones that fill a room. Prefer a grittier flavor of overdrive? It does that too! Using two different drive stages and a very responsive set of tone controls, the Keeley Overdrive retains all of your guitar's essence and adds any kind of grit or dirt you could want!
We were after an overdrive that made you want to play guitar. We wanted you to be able to get a dark tone, or a bright sound, a clean one or one very heavy and powerful. We wanted tone controls that were endlessly responsive and highly configurable. Compromise should never be part of what you hear. So we crafted a machine that shows off the rest of our gear and your music, instead of covering it up. We think you will agree!
- 9v power supply included
FAQ (courtesy of Keeley Electronics):
Q. Hi,I'm interested in purchasing the RK Overdrive. I have a few questions. - Is this modeled after any particular amp (or a likeness to any given amp)? - What are the two stages of drive? - How well does it stack with other pedals?
A. Howdy sir!
The new RK Overdrive is an idea I had that took the best part of overdrive pedals, tube amps, and even professional or high end equalizers. I wanted to capture the best part of what goes on between overdrive pedals and amps. I was able to blend several common op-amp style overdrive and distortion pedals that I’ve seen people rave about over the years. It resulted in a unique stage that is super transparent and still able to give you a very powerful overdrive. There is a Baxandall tone circuit that is not super common yet in guitar pedals, it should be but is more complex and more costly than many companies would dare do. I took that from old British HI-FI magazines and schematics. The JFET stage was built as the last stage to simulate a tube amp as much as possible. We set that stage up very similar to any Fender or Marshall-type pre-amplifier circuit. The output is designed to work well with any kind of guitar amp or other effects, or even sound cards.
Q. Hello! I Great to see & hear your new overdrive. Can this pedal capture the mids and qualities of a TS9 tube screamer? Is it more in the Zendrive family?
A. Howdy sir!
The Keeley Overdrive has two active tone controls so that the bass and treble can be turned down to get a vocal-like midrange tone easily. I like to turn the Low control down when I want to get a tube screamer sound and then use the High control almost like the single tone control on a lot of pedals. (Works great the other way too! Turn the High control to a really low setting and then adjust the Low control to find that tone you've been trying to get!)
It is firmly in the boutique family of pedals and not a modified version of a Boss or an Ibanez pedal. Because you have such a huge range of tone and low noise with the Keeley OD it is perfect as both your main chord work pedal or as a lead pedal with a midrange push.
