Keeley Electronics launched the Angry Orange, Blues Disorder and Super Rodent, three overdrive and distortion pedals that each combine two classic circuits, MusicRadar reported on March 12, 2024¹. The three join the Noble Screamer, which established the 4-in-1 format at its launch in September 2023, and the Andy Timmons signature Muse Driver, which debuted in January¹.

Each pedal has three knobs (Volume, Drive and Tone) and two toggle switches that swap the tone stack and clipping section between the two circuits, for four sounds from one compact enclosure¹. The Angry Orange pairs a DS-1 style distortion circuit with a Civil War Big Muff-style circuit¹. The Blues Disorder combines a Blues Breaker-inspired drive with OCD-style dirt¹. The Super Rodent pairs a ProCo Rat-inspired circuit with an SD-1 overdrive¹. Guitar Pedal X lists the pairings as Marshall Blues Breaker and Fulltone OCD, EHX Civil War Muff and Boss DS-1, and Boss SD-1 and ProCo Rat².

Guitar Pedal X reports a 100% analog circuit with an all-analog signal path, a silent soft-touch switch with switchable buffered or true bypass, and 9V DC power at 27 mA, 25 mA and 26 mA current draw for the Blues Disorder, Angry Orange and Super Rodent respectively². Holding the footswitch for about two seconds switches between buffered and true bypass¹³. All connections sit on the top of the pedals¹. The pedals are made in the USA, in Edmond, Oklahoma¹².

The pedals were available now at $199 each, according to MusicRadar and Guitar World¹⁴. Guitar Pedal X gave the same US price². Gearnews listed different figures, $215 for the Blues Disorder and Noble Screamer, $128 for the Angry Orange and $127 for the Super Rodent⁵.
