Keeley 'Loomer' Fuzz & Reverb Pedal

Product Information

Ik wou in feite de Keeley Realiser (reverb deel) en dacht dat ik beter zelf voor de fuzz kon zorgen. Maar heel tevreden met de fuzz erbij (top fuzz!). But other than those two standout stompboxes, Keeley have branched out into a plethora of other effects that provide a wide variety of exciting sounds. Keeley are a true boutique effects company. And fortunately they cater to all your different needs! You can buy a Keeley pedal with the knowledge that it'll be built well, last forever and sound fantastic. Reverse- This is not a true reversed reverb as it reads through a delay line at various points in the delay while increasing in volume. This is where it gets really cool. The vibrato in this mode is envelope controlled. The range runs from 0 to 50ms of time shift. Tone control is loosely based on the Jazzmaster rhythm tone control with a low pass filter centered at 156.6Hz Strum hard and it pitch bends like you are playing the trem bar on a Jazzmaster or Jaguar! Combine the two for an unreal dual-guitar player effect!

Een kleine opmerking is misschien dat de decay time voor de soft focus maar vooral voor de hall langer mocht. Voor de rest: perfect! De Reverse geeft my Bloody Valentine. De decay regelt ook tegelijk de predelay (langere decay - langere predelay) maar dat geeft niets. Het geluid is mooi, mbv en een toevoeging aan mijn andere reverse reverbs die ik al had. Een extra predelay knop was leuk geweest voor hall en soft-focus; maar geen noodzaak. Soft Focus- Because all of the reverbs can go All-Wet by means of the Blend Control, this is a great approximation of the lush and surreal Yamaha FX500 patch. Soft Focus Reverb features a dense reverb with two delays in parallel (one set for 250ms, the other set for 380ms.) Muffdive...

Muffdive The second side is a wet channel, with reverb and delay effects courtesy of - well, also eccentric - US boutique builders Old Blood Noise Endeavors. With pedals in their line-up like the Rever, Dark Star, and Dweller, they know their way around designing exciting and unusual delay and reverb circuits.Het schakelen van de fuzz voor of na de reverb is voor shoegaze music echt handig, niet constant pedalen wisselen. De soft focus geeft dat typisch slowdive geluid. Decay mocht langer , ik verleng die zelf met een extra reverb pedaal. Detailkritiek.

Although the teaser demos sound in the ballpark, to my ear the pedal is missing a lot. It’s a little too clean and surgical, and not as organic and alive as those original recordings. I have spent a long, long time listening to Loveless, which is probably why I am hyper-critical with attempts to achieve that hallmark MBV sound. It’s a cool pedal, though, and hopefully some players will use it in new and unusual ways.Eccentric Belgian boutique builder Drolo designed the loop channel, presumably taking experience gained from their excellent Molecular Disruption Device and Stammen pedals. Robert Keeley used to be an amp repairman before getting involved in teaching analogue and digital electronics at Vatterott College in Oklahoma. This is where he methis first Keeley Electronics employees. A stoned, morning floaty, messed up, thrill machine is what it is. Washes of reverb in new ways you’ve not heard in a stomp box before and a fuzz that’s like a cigarette burn on your forearm. It rages.

The Loomer seeks to distill it all down to one little box by combining tonne of fuzz and an ocean of reverb with an envelope-controlled vibrato. The latter simulates the Jazzmaster tremelo arm being ‘strummed’ as you play. Decay times on the Loomer can be set to 150ms, 200ms, 250ms, 300ms, 350ms, 400ms, 450ms, and 500ms. Copycat? The Loomer is essentially a huge fuzz tone with a large wash of reverb that aims to sound like My Bloody Valentine’s epic masterpiece Loveless. The album includes many seminal sounds that guitarist Kevin Shields spent a ridiculous amount of time perfecting in the studio. He often used the Yamaha SPX90 and the Alesis Midiverb II. These were combined with fuzz and a Jazzmaster tremolo arm, which was played rhythmically in a slow, powerful manner. The subtle warble of pitch, fuzz drone and washes of reverb were balanced in such a way that it made you feel as though you were gliding through a dream. The Loomer Workstation – Sarah Lipstate Artist Series Edition features an augmented photo collage by Sarah. The art was created by hand-painting 16mm film with India ink and acrylic paint, which was then scanned and recreated using Keeley’s UV printers over a powder coated case. Introducing our Artist Series, a new line of Custom Shop takes on our favorite Keeley pedals! Each of the Artist Series pedals will feature artwork from their associated artists, as well as an Artist Series bottom print.

Nods From the Stars

The KeeleyCompressor is probably the most famous pedal that Keeley have made. That’s saying something, because they'vebuilta lot of globally popular boxes of goodness. The Keeley Compressor was well-liked thanks to its subtle compression that maintained the tonal sweetnessof an electric guitar whilst implementing low noise floor. He realised that he could make a success of his pedal designs. It’s all in the history books from there on in because the company has just grown from strength to strength. The Keeley Range Many high-end digital pedals within a series run on the same hardware and processor, for instance the BOSS 500 series or Strymon units. As these pedals can presumably run algorithms from other units in the line, players find themselves wondering why they don't.
