Keeley 'Loomer' Fuzz & Reverb Pedal

Product Information

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...

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. 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. 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. 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.

Professionally Engineered Tone

The Chase Bliss Mood is a supergroup, or at least a super-collaboration of the pedal world. The MIDI controls and 'brain' of the pedal come from Chase Bliss, with their usual pattern of complex control parameters and dip switches, but its 'heart' is two weirdo pedals in one, combining looping, reverb and delay. 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! 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.

Mijn eerste Keeley pedaal en ik ben onder de indruk. De geluiden zijn stuk voor stuk heel mooi en organisch. 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 RangeNot every pedal needs to be super-limited edition and hand-soldered in a basement by monks. Witness the Source Audio Collider, a digital reverb and delay combination that combines their top-of-the-line Nemesis Delay and Ventris Reverb pedals. Unless you need specific patches from those pedals that aren't here, this can replace both on your board. De Hall is een erg mooi, organische, donkere hall met een heel subtiele modulatie (octave up) die ver blijft van geforceerde shimmers. Alleen mocht die voor mij nog langer duren. De hall is echt heel hol en zweverig. Uniek geluid (jaren 90). Ik heb vergeleken met de Aurora-hall, en deze is speciaal. 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. 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.
