Keeley Super At Mod LTD Overdrive

An Overdrive Rooted in Keeley's "Mod" Culture

Robert Keeley built his brand's reputation on a simple idea: getting the best out of existing circuits through rigorous selection of low-tolerance components and careful modification work. From the beginning, Keeley's "boutique" approach attracted demanding musicians, and the brand quickly became a reference for those seeking a reliable, musical, and consistent pedal from one unit to another.

The SUPER AT MOD fits directly into this philosophy: it takes a BD-2 PHAT Mod-style overdrive base and adds an AT mode developed around Andy Timmons' needs. The result is a limited edition signature pedal that retains the spontaneity of a lively overdrive while offering a more sustain-oriented option for lead parts.

For Which Guitarists and Styles?

The Keeley SUPER AT MOD is aimed at guitarists who want an overdrive capable of following playing nuances: pick attack, dynamic variations, guitar volume adjustments, and chord articulation. It is especially suited for blues, rock, pop, and fusion musicians seeking an expressive drive that is both precise and warm, without excessive compression.

In real-world situations, it naturally finds its place on a live pedalboard (to switch from a clearer verse to a denser chorus) as well as in the studio (to layer guitar takes with a clear grain). It can also serve as a tone foundation for an amp already on the edge of breakup, or as the main saturation engine on a clean channel depending on the gain level used.

Features and Design: Effective Simplicity, AT Mode at the Core

The strength of this overdrive is its straightforward approach: a pedal made for playing, not for spending hours navigating menus. The SUPER AT MOD highlights a drive base inspired by a BD-2 PHAT Mod, then adds a new AT mode designed to expand the palette toward a more soloist register. This additional mode provides an immediately usable alternative when you need a more "singing" sound, smoother under the fingers, while maintaining definition.

Its metal enclosure and compact format facilitate integration on a pedalboard, with a simple logic: a signature pedal focused on essentials, aiming for musicality rather than complexity. Regarding power, it accepts use with a 9V power supply or battery, allowing choice between a fixed setup and a more portable configuration.

Sound

The SUPER AT MOD stands out with a responsive and organic overdrive character: the sound follows the right hand, with a dynamic feel that invites playing. On chords, it delivers saturation that retains clarity and presence, useful for staying in the mix. On melodic lines, the output favors precise articulation, with that "pushed amp" vibe sought by many guitarists.

The key point is access to two complementary approaches: the BD-2 PHAT Mod-style base provides an open and expressive texture, while the AT mode targets a more lead-oriented drive, with a smoother feel and easier sustain for singing phrases. Paired with single-coil pickups or humbuckers, this pedal works equally well as a main overdrive or as a complement to thicken a sound or push an amp's input stage.
