Keeley Electronics Aria
The Keeley Electronics Aria compressor drive is the ultimate compressor and overdrive experience.
Compression and overdrive are the foundations of Keeley’s engineering because they are a central part of the guitar recording process.
These two Keeley tones have inspired many musicians, and now they sit in one sonic tool.
The Aria Compressor drive not only offers the most flexible overdrive to date, but it has all the tone and blend features of the Compressor Plus.
Players also have the ability to swap the order of the compressor and drive for two very useful drive experiences.
You have two ways you can combine the beautiful midrange of overdrive and the benefits of compression and sustain.
Most people run compression before overdrive in order to reduce the potential for idle, static noise but there are times when you want added sustain.
Therefore you might need the compressor after overdrives, because using compressors after overdrives offers players a very warm and rounded, smooth and even tone with tons of sustain.
And then you may need to return to the conventional routing, because compression before drives gives you a consistent gain level and problem solved!
