The Dig is a great bit of kit! I have only looked at Keeley stuff in the past few months, mainly because I'm a fan of Andy Timmons. Keeley makes some very nice stuff!


Yeah, I’ve had the dig before, regret selling it, and I’ve got the Keeley caverns ii which does good things on my pedal board.

If I like one pedal from a maker, I tend to like the rest, or are at least bias!

I think I’m gonna try the third eye pedal from Conway
Conway, you’ve obviously tried all the used ones on your site …
Any highlights you’d point out before I pull the trigger on that third eye ?

StrummersOfThunder wrote: Fri Jan 26, 2024 5:13 am I still feel like I’m lacking the ‘right’ boooteek drive/boost pedal

Currently have
Boost: catlinbread super chillee picosa
Fulltone (ewww) fat boost
Drives: hotcake
Catlinbread tweed 5f1

Really like the sound to the okko Diablo in @ gregsguitars stuff on you tube

Also enjoy Klon sounds when I hear them

Mostly want smooth drive, low gain , almost just the dirty end of clean but with the ability to flick on the neck pickup of the SG and get a nice smooth lead sound

Anyone got something hanging around that would do that or got any suggestions?
I can recommend The Dude. It's the most versatile OD pedal I've owned. Trick with it is the balance of 'ratio' and 'deep'. Just a great-sounding pedal.

Third Eye is a good choice. Golden Boy would be worth a look too.
