The El Rey Dorado by Keeley Electronics is an overdrive pedal designed to deliver classic British amp tones. It features two gain modes with a Power Toggle switch, providing control over compression and harmonics. The Low Power mode offers a louder, more girthy sound with fewer harmonics for an old-school tone, while the High Power mode delivers more compression, harmonics, and a tighter, more defined tone suitable for super lead tones. The primary controls include Tone, Drive, Level, and Power Toggle. The pedal is Keeley Engineered and features Ripe Tide Gain. It is 9V compatible (battery not included) and is designed to emulate the coveted Plexi tone, offering a wide range of 1960s Plexi Amp Tone.
