Classic Plexi Tones Await

Featuring two distinct modes for vintage or modern gain structures, the Keeley El Rey Dorado overdrive pedal delivers the classic grind of the most iconic British Plexi amplifiers. In fact, Robert Keeley referenced his own JTM 45/100 stack to get that vivacious character just right. In Low Power mode, you'll find an old-school tone with more headroom and girth. In High Power mode, you'll find more compression, more harmonics, and a more defined tone. And because the Level control goes above unity, many guitarists at Sweetwater like using the Keeley El Rey Dorado as a boost pedal too.

Keeley El Rey Dorado Overdrive Pedal Features:

  • Overdrive pedal for electric guitar
  • Low Power mode for classic crunch tones, with more headroom and girth
  • High Power mode for modern lead tones, with more compression and definition
  • Level control can go above unity for use as a boost pedal
  • Powered 9-volt power supply (sold separately)

Rated 5/5

Marshall in a box no questions. Most accurate pedal out there for Marshall Plexi. 10/10 imo

Every string is clear within the saturation of this pedal. Absolutely amazing pedal. I would have paid boutique prices of $300+ for this. It really does feel authentic and plexi like through my hot rod deville. I have many pedals and this one earns spot #1. Honestly speechless some days when I play because the dynamics you get rolling back the volume and the way it cleans up like a real Marshall would. It's a VERY smooth and authentic sounding. Probably gonna take this one to the grave along with my morning glory and big muff. It's top tier beleive me.

Excellent, especially when boosted

This pedal gives you that perfect base tone of a Marshall, punchy lower mids and crisp highs. I throw an Archer Ikon in front of it, and it gives me a perfect lead tone, and adds a nice amount of bite and juiciness. Just an excellent combination.

Marshall in a box

This is one of the best Distortion Pedal I've every had. It has a high & low switch that makes it that much easier to get the sound your looking for.

Plexi Tones in a box

I purchased this pedal after watching a few youtube reviews and definitely was not disappointed. If you're looking for a vintage/classic Marshall style tone, look no further. (and being a big Van Halen fan, this pedal captures EVH's tone beautifully) This is about as close as you will get to those classic tones without spending thousands on vintage Marshall gear. Well done Keeley!!
