Keeley Electronics Red Dirt Comparison Video

[@DjNorbax]

Long demo. And totally worth it. Thanks for taking the time to bring those 3 in a shootout. Hopefully I'll try the germanium this week. Excellent my man!

Great job! You can really tell the differences between them. Love my Red Dirt Germanium.

[@jamiemharrison4493]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

You have impeccable technique; blues leads really did that for me. Great video, a necessary video too.

[@jamiemharrison4493]

Thank you so much! I had a lot of fun making it. More to come soon!

My biggest problem with this comparison is that you are playing different licks for the same comparison of each pedal. Use a looper so it is 100% the same. That would be a valuable comparison.

[@jamiemharrison4493]

Totally get where you’re coming from - that’s one school for sure. Personally I like to play it each time and like to watch a player play a pedal because then I get a sense for how they lean into it differently. To your point a looper would eliminate some variables. Thanks for checking the video out! If you go to the keeley electronics website and search red dirt you can find some other demos as well.

Came to make a joke about checking if I'd accidentally set the video playback speed to 0.75x or 0.50x given how slow the guy was narrating at first, then the playing kicked in around 5 min... ok, you win, suddenly the slow talking doesnt seem clever. Respect. Now that's playing with feeling!

[@jamiemharrison4493]

Slow Blues for the win 😂 must’ve been a vibe I was on during the lockdown. Thanks for checking the video out!

[@WayneMemphisMojo]

Damn man, I should have been subscribed way before now, you are a master blues guitar instructor & I am always looking to learn more! Oh yeah also very well done demo, I'm trying to decide which Red Dirt to get, I'm leaning Ge.

[@MoneyCrespin]

Great video! Honestly Germanium was my favorite of the three! (and not because of the name/type Lol) and then the KE808 was up there too!

[@erick_fernandez_78910]

Germanium Full Gain and renegades of funk cover !

[@xrswolfe8669]

Is there a difference between the germanium version and the ke808 version. I’ve been getting info that they’re the same thing. I’ve had a ge808 before and thought it had a little too much gain for me. Is the ke808 one less gain. Thanks

[@jamiemharrison4493]

Biggest thing for me is the feel is different. The GE is a bit harsher more Aggressive. The KE has a smoothness I like and sort of prefer for most things. Biggest question is do I want more grit/grime or something singing/sustainy. Both do both ish but the ge kicks in the pants more in the way you’d think of a fuzz. GE drives tend to have that wild flair and sort of “hair”. So it just sits differently. The three all react differently with various amp types and guitars as well.

[@charlesc8588]

Which pedal would you say you use the most?

[@jamiemharrison4493]

Hands down the standard red dirt but the others pair better with certain amp/ guitar combos The germanium one can be a bit harsher so a darker amp tends to like that where a silverface fender would prefer the standard and probably in low gain mode. They’re all really music tho and pair well with other pedals. Which did you like best in the demo?

@@jamiemharrison4493 nice comp! thanks .. have you heard this? love Jim's tone here at the end. He uses a Keeley mod tube screamer (not sure which mod) to Fender Twin . that biting but clear OD tone is understood to ge gotten easier as here via an all up Twin, but how can you get that thru a Princeton or Super Champ on 3 or 4 at home? Since the Red Dirt is supposed to be Robert's final take on the TS type pedal, can they give the same tones as the Keeley mod screamer? and can they get this tone here without the amp on 10?
