Description

Unlock a world of tonal possibilities with the Keeley Tone Workstation KTW-1, a versatile pedal designed for guitarists seeking dynamic overdrive and pristine sound shaping. This all-in-one pedal combines three essential Keeley effects into a single unit to streamline your setup and maximize your creativity. With the KTW-1, you get a Keeley Compressor, the iconic Keeley Katana Boost, and the Red Dirt Overdrive, ensuring you have the perfect blend of compression, boost, and overdrive at your feet.

The Keeley Compressor offers studio-quality compression that enhances sustain without sacrificing your guitar's natural tone.

Whether you're playing blues, rock, or anything in between, the Keeley Tone Workstation KTW-1 adapts to your style with ease.

Its intuitive layout and rugged build make it a reliable companion for both studio work and live performances. The pedal's true bypass switching ensures your signal remains uncolored when the effects are disengaged, preserving your guitar's original tone.

"The original Tone Workstations were built in a limited run ten years ago. John Mayer ended up with a few of those, and he took them out on the road for the Dead & Company tour." - tonereport.com

The pedal was featured in Mayer's Periscope post entitled "Gear Talk" on August 20, 2015. Go to about the 10:50 area in the video to see his remarks about the pedal.

"This is a pedal you've never seen before. This is a Keeley, Keeley built this pedal for me and it's... a lead boost, a rhythm boost, and a compressor in the same box, which I thought was really cool." - John Mayer
