Keeley 'Loomer' Fuzz & Reverb Pedal

Product Information

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 Because all of the reverbs can go All-Wet by means of the Blend Control, this is a great approximation of the Yamaha FX500 patch. Soft Focus Reverb features a dense reverb with two delays in parallel (one set for 250ms, the other set for 380ms.) Muffside Eccentric Belgian boutique builder Drolo designed the loop channel, presumably taking experience gained from their excellent Molecular Disruption Device and Stammen pedals.

More recently, the D&Mdrive took the guitar pedal world by storm. This is a signature drive pedal was made for our friends at That Pedal Show. 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. 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! 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. 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!).

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. Because all of the reverbs can go All-Wet by means of the Blend Control, this is a great approximation of the 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 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.
