Keeley Limited Edition X Pedals: 10 to choose from, but only 30 of each available!
Limited-Edition X Pedals by Keeley a very limited run for 2019
Robert Keeley has announced a very limited run for a new series called the X Pedal range. Each of the 10 effects is being produced only 30 times. In total the series totals 300 pedals and once they are gone, it’s all over.
Keeley Limited Edition X Pedals
The idea is simple enough: release 30 units of each effect pedal, with 10 different effect types on offer. The release includes the Tri Verb X, Roto Sonic X, Tri Mod X, Comp Plus X, Mezzo Drive X, Super Phat X, Super Ox X, OP Fuzz X, Tape Echo X and a single effect for bass called the Super Bass X.
Each pedal in the Keeley X Pedal series looks very utilitarian. The aesthetics remind me a little of Pete Cornish’s effects. They are raw aluminium with black embossed tape-style labels printed on them. They look simple enough to operate and look well built. Of course, they are all handmade in the USA so I do not think you would have any durability issues with them anyway.
Price-wise, they are fairly reasonable. If you have ever owned or used Keeley pedals before then you will be aware of the high quality and use of good quality components throughout.
My only issue is that the product descriptions on the Keeley website are very basic, so you are taking a bit of a punt on this range. I have put the somewhat brief descriptions below for you to check out, but as of yet, there do not appear to be any audio demos available for any of the pedals.
5 for 4!
One rather nice deal with this limited range is that if you buy four of those Keeley X pedals you can get the fifth one for free. You just have to type FREEXPEDAL in the discount code box at checkout on their site!
