The Keeley Super Phat Mod appeared on our recommended list for Overdrive Pedals in 2 consecutive editions from February 2020 until October 2022 when it was removed due to the price limit for the list being reduced to $100.

Overview
After gaining popularity for modding existing guitar pedals for various players, Keeley Electronics have become a guitar pedal manufacturer themselves. The Super Phat Mod in particular stemmed from them modding the Boss BD-2 by adding a Phat switch to improve its low end response.
This version now comes with Keeley’s own designed JFET gain circuit which enhances harmonic saturation and tube-like response. As the name implies, it also comes with the Super Phat switch that lets you go from Flat (flat response) to Phat (subtle bass boost).
