Keeley Electronics Aria Compressor/Overdrive

3 minutes with the Keeley Aria. This is my swiss army knife kind of drive. Besides the flawless compression (Keeley comps can do no wrong) that I use a lot to balance my tapping riffs, I love both of the drive modes in this pedal. It can go from a fat slight crunch to punchy high gain drive. It's a quick video but it shows all of its versatility.
