Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Red Nectar places Keeley’s Berzerker overdrive and Constrictor compressor in one metal pedal enclosure, with each effect available from its own footswitch. The germanium-modified screamer-style drive has Drive, Tone, Level, and Low/High voicing controls; the compressor adds Sustain, Blend, Tone, and Level. Blend lets you mix dry signal back into the compressed sound, while selectable effect order changes how the two circuits interact. A pickup selector for single-coil or humbucker voicing and a TRS insert add further routing and setup options.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Stacking overdrive and compression while changing their order to alter the pedal’s response.
- Adding compression sustain while retaining dry-signal attack through the Blend control.
- Switching pickup voicing between single-coil and humbucker settings.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Rig setups requiring MIDI control; MIDI is listed as unavailable.
