Dear mr keeley, thank you for designing and engineering this tone shaping masterpiece.I have one request, could you please make a hi watt 103 inspired pedal ? A pedal that can be used to boost and eq a blackface mid scooped amp into hi watt big clean territory ? Then the dark side would really shine. thank you for you consideration.
The Rotary speaker setting is to die for that comes right after the 3:33 mark. I think it's one of the most gorgeous demos of that sound I've heard Mike. Bravo man. Then you create another piece of unique magic at 4:42. Wow. I think I'm responsible for a few thousand of the video views... ;-)
Robert Keeley you share responsability with Mike for lots of views, great pedals into the hands of a great player! Fan of both of you guys. Have you thought of a Fripp inspired workstation? Would absolutelly love it!
Big Muff/Foxxtone/Sustainer combo fuzz, some sort of Flanger/Filtering for Fripp's metallic sound on Bowie's Scary Monsters and Heroes, and SpaceEcho/Looping Delay to mimic Frippertronics.
KeeleyElectronics OMG! Thanks to organizedchaos I've just seen your answer. I can't believe I didn't see it sooner, sorry!! I like what he suggests. I saw an interview with Visconti and he described how Fripp recorded Heroes... positioning himself on different points in front of the amp using feedback as his tone, genius!! Something that could emulate that would be amazing!! You could experiment with harmonizers, delay/loopers too It's difficult to think in just one workstation cause Fripp has so many incredible sounds.
Hey, question-- if I had to record guitar directly through an interface, along with a few fedals like this one, a wah and an OD, would it sound good? Or do I need to have a preamp pedal, cab sim?
@@rickmolyneux9031 gotcha. What I wanted to know was of this set up was enough to record directly with an interface or would I need additional cabinet simulations and preamp / ampsim?
I recently bought one and it is awesome... so much fun ! This is not a simple pedal, it is a workstation instead. This demo is so cool... two thumbs up Mike!!
Mr. Keeley does the insert on my V1 mean that I can run it 4CM with my amp's FX loop and/or split the two sides for use with a pro swither like a Bos ES-8 (like you can do with the Aria, D&M, DDR, DCR)? Thanking in advance. I own so many Keeley pedals it's a running joke among my friends.
That's it. You and Andy MUST do a Pink Floyd tribute one day. Each of you are the best Gilmour enthusiasts I've seen... I'd love to see you guys together on this. Call it The PGSPF Show, call it what you like; it'd be awesome!
Man, I loved that great gig in the sky sound, I'm gonna have to prioritize this pedal before a expensive amp! Gosh, man. Such a huge pink Floyd fan, also love Hendrix. I've been doubting between this pedal and the Monterey, but this demo... Man, it turned my head! Gonna buy this pedal, gonna play with it, gonna live with it and love it. Thankyou for making this awesome pedal, I'll let you guys know my thoughts on it when it arrives!!!! \m/
Mark Knopfler and George Lynch use this for their sounds. I just got one and I've not been getting much sleep because I am messing around with it. I love this little work station.
I wanted to buy the Super Mod Workstation to have all my modulation needs covered. Still VERY undecided! This box is soo tempting. To have "album-inspired" boxes is a clever idea: in fact many of us (if not all) started to play because we wanted to emulate our favourite tunes. Great playing!
There are some great demos for the Keeley Darkside, but this one destroys it! It's so good! I love the reworking of the Dark Side Of The Moon tunes for just guitar. Rad!
Fucking incredible demo. Wasnt even sure I wanted this because I wasnt sure if I'd even use the amount effects but you made them all sound incredible. I have the price point to either get this or an empress equalizer and now I'm stuck
There is a Hal Leonard Guitar play along: Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon instructional video only 19 dollars this covers the whole album. It's a good video.
+Robert Keeley Other guitar pedal brands provide musicians tools that help us to express our inspiration. What we get from Robert Keeley is so much more than that. He gives us the inspiration itself. Playing a Keeley pedal is like being dumped by our woman or losing the ones closest to us. It feels like reliving our most sad and most joyful memories. And I'm talking about REAL inspiration, no fucking cheesy talk here. Shout out to Robert Keeley. We couldn't be more grateful.
+Robert Keeley I'd be more than happy to join you for a meal and maybe some pedal testing as well. For an even stronger musical accompaniment I suggest the amazing Mike Hermans as a special guest, but only if he speaks a bit more than he does in his demos. Honestly, I've been in the game for 20 years, and in the past few years I haven't bought any gear without checking out Mike's review first. Thanks again, to both of you!
Beautiful pedal but I could tell right off the bat that this is one of those intense "does it all" pedals that I can't imagine playing around with live. utilizing separate effects is a pain but in the long run it saves a bit of the head ache involved in incorporating a pedal like this in your chain. again it's a beautiful pedal.
Keeley Electronics it goes without suggestion. when you have a history of building phenomenal gear year after year. your imagination hits the soul of guitar and players with veracity and aclaimation beyond those around you. congratulation for placing the 80s in a box of rocks. so that we may enjoy being stoned yet again. without the need for rehab or subsequent interventions. unless it's not morally beneficial to play guitar as a life choice. who knows what the future. brings. I. believe I ll take my box of rocks with me to foil yet again modern drudgery of music. thanks Mr keel. take us out Robert and keep us sane in an otherwise boring existence
I have a question and I really need help. So I just got my Keeley Dark Side and im not sure if it came with a malfunction or not but ive been going through so many videos on this pedal and it seems like no one is having this problem. So when Im on the delay mode when i change to certain levels my pedal is like lagging or having a latency effect. Like when i play a string itll play it like 1 second late especially on LEVEL 4-5. Im not sure if this is part of the pedal or what but can you please let me know. Like do i send it back or what??
Kevin, I m out of the chamber for that kind of talk. I support her and this is a matter of who cares for whom. Though I do not push the subject, I do from time to time. Offer her reward for allowing me reward. And the kids and the grandkids and the friends and so on. It truly is like they say when you take on a spouse, You must care for the world or be dismissed as a heathen and suffer the duration of it all. Now if you ve been married for a great length of time. you have a full on understanding, If you ve had kids and their grown you surely understand all facets of a mutual relationship and how its is constructed, improved or if it applys uninproves after a period of error judgements from one or both. The point really is that the satisfaction of gear must weigh into the satisfaction of the spouse from both sides of the realm But, in most cases, if you spend an exorbient amount for the gear time and time again in a short period of time. She ll eventually bite when you go to pet her. Now that's a crude and immoral way to express the subject but, in truth spouse s do know the hows and whys. And I anticipate that your relationship has enough of the stability factor that both of you have a full grasp of necessary focus and direction to whats going to be the solution to any given concern. Albeit if you take the time to make it a minor instead of a major enfraction of relationship code of ethics. Now this all may sound a bit obsurd, but, You ve seen the redundancys and the resolutions of all levels of disagrements by the first 6 years and the 7 year itch and the 10 year resolutions of life time commitments. After 10 years you will live in that relationship the rest of your natural life in one form or the other. especially if children or family is involved beyond spouse and spousett. In my concerns I try to trade, to buy lesser cost perfect gear, or even make an effort to wait till that right time for acquisitions. I m sure you do the same in the many facets of gear. From picks to that once in a life time amp or that prime hand me down heirloom that will always be a conversation piece for generations to come no matter if its played traded or just left as a wall ornament till someone else comes along and the need is greater than the want. Now believe it or not this is just an acknowledgement of the ideas that are generally ingested by all male guitarists and married, relationship and external necessities that come after the relationship evolves in to mutual fun and bun service. Enjoy your lack of rebuttal efforts from your spouse ultimately when the time is at an optimum for effect. You will open your eyes and your other necessities and divvy out the correct amount of reprisal and effectual praise and admonishment all in one moment. So if the guitar is nt an issue then hang on to if for a very long time and learn the art of trade and bargin. Or live in the dog house with your gear on those cold winter nights. Possibly burning the wood of the most of your gear to warm that 30 below open wind dog house. Or give her a new car. is what I did to allow my own dignity to be elevated above the dog, after the dog bit me. I learned my place inside the dog house while dogy gets the bed, the heater and the best meals of the day. But, I get gear. So we all can live life in harmony. Till I get the concerns of eyes upon my playing negated by spouse alarm systems. and doggy poo clean up detail.
Fantastic pedal and great demo!!! My only thought is that this pedal (with a bigger footprint) needs some memory banks as it has so many awesome effects as displayed here.
Hi Mike. Your playing on these demos is superb; you've sold me on several pedals. What pups do you have in your Suhr? SSS or HSS? Are your singles ML's. I have a Suhr Classic Antique and it's amazing. Thank you, Mike!
Amazing pedal. As expansive as the tonal options seem to be (and notwithstading the PF nod), would be awesome to have more than one fuzz circuit in there - a fuzz face and a tone bender maybe.
How are you syncing the trem to the drum track. Is there a tap tempo feature or could this be done with a recording software like Studio One, maybe the X-Trem plugin. Thanks for the great demo, you do Gilmour better than Gilmour
I have a 2 questions. I got the version 2 today and am sitting at work dying to go home and play it!! first, can i use a ts insert to put effects between the 2 sides even on version 2? second, what is the max delay time on the tape echo side? Awesome pedal!!
I bought this pedal and it wasn't cheap...HAD IT CAME WITH a booklet showing the position settings for different Pink Floyd sounds then it would have hit the SPECTACULAR!!! mark...now if had a shown a few of the basic sound settings it would have went a long way in helping to NAVIGATE this piece of equipment...as it is its complicated to JUST FIGURE IT OUT....so it missed a huge opportunity for the learning the pedals potential aspect which would help you ENJOY the pedal instead of getting FRUSTRATED with it....
Good doctor Keeley, my God man, I just got the Mod Workstation (it's...AMAZING) from the good folks at Empire Guitars...and now, this? Make it stop!!!! (not really, never stop) Totally stealing two parts of Mike's demo for the next jam because if you're not doing that on the reg well you should be.
Run with it! Pssst...just...send me... a "tester" (tee hee). I also read somewhere (comment board?) there was a "Keeley Dan" pedal in the works, but the intrawebs abound with da roomuhs (that's how they say it up here in New England). Best regards!
