Distortion

Boss DS-1 and Maxon SD-9 in one box, toggled by a relay, with a Cutoff knob that blends between their low-end responses.

Two '80s rock distortions — the Boss DS-1 and the Maxon SD-9 — sharing a single pedal with a relay-switched toggle that physically routes between the circuits rather than emulating them. Each side is a proper recreation, not a voicing trick.

Keeley's twist is the Cutoff control. The DS-1 naturally has a tight, scooped low end; the SD-9 has a fat, bassy gain response. Cutoff lets you blend between those two low-frequency behaviors so you can have DS-style punch with SD-style bass, or any point between.

Standard Level, Tone, and Distortion controls round it out. True bypass, relay switching.
