Excellent condition, Velcro on back, no box.The Keeley Red Dirt Germanium Overdrive takes a classic Tube Screamer–style foundation and pushes it into richer, more dynamic territory with the addition of a carefully selected germanium transistor. The result is a more “3D” feel, with variable gain across the frequency spectrum; tight, punchy lows paired with saturated, harmonically rich mids and highs. Its FET input stage adds smooth, tube-like breakup and exceptional touch sensitivity, cleaning up beautifully with your guitar’s volume while still offering plenty of gain on tap.  From subtle edge-of-breakup to thick, sustaining lead tones, the Red Dirt Germanium delivers a more open, expressive take on the TS formula... retaining clarity and low-end while avoiding the flat, one-dimensional feel of traditional circuits. Handmade in the USA, it’s a boutique overdrive that bridges vintage warmth with modern versatility.
