"At last the Keeley Phaser is here! I was so pumped when I saw these arrive, and I have to tell you...believe the hype. This phaser sounds amazing and is extremely versatile. I was able to pull up David Gilmour-ish tones, reminiscent of a vintage Phase 45, which was known as a tamer version of the Phase 90. Subtle enough to keep the parts you're playing in tact and not the complete focus of the riff, which is very cool. But, if you want full-on swirl, it's in there. And boy, it sounds like a million bucks. The tap tempo feature is super cool too! Having the option of timing the phase effect with your riff allowed me to get almost talk-box sweeping sounds! I bet I spent a good 10 minutes with this pedal and I could still spend another 30 finding other cool non-traditional uses in songs utilizing the tap feature. This is a pedal that Tom Morello AND Eddie would equally enjoy." - Brian S.
This is another killer pedal from Robert Keeley. This one let's you to swirl with deep rich phasing or rock out to some cutting, aggressive phasing. You can speed the effect up, slow it down with a brake-like function, and tap in a phase rate/tempo. This Keeley Phaser is one his best yet.

This Keeley DS-1 Ultra Mod is Steve Vai's favorite pedal and it's easy to see why. It's the ultimate Keeley Seeing Eye Mod with extra goodies. The toggle switch allows you to select the Seeing Eye or Ultra mode. The Ultra mode increases the fidelity in high gain modes and increases the total volume a bit to be used as a front end of a high quality tube amp. We've found the differences between this and the standard Seeing Eye Mod to best be heard through say, a high fidelity boutique amp like a Dr. Z MAZ 38 or a Bogner, a little more open and refined. Check out the difference for yourself and see why this Keeley DS-1 Ultra Mod takes the Boss DS-1 to the new levels in this great video.

This Keeley Vox Wah V847 is seriously one the coolest things to come our way in a while. We already love Keeley for taking our favorite pedals one step beyond, and for creating his own innovative pedals, but this is too much. He's modded a Vox Wah - and you know after it has passed through his hands, it's pretty much magic.
Here he's given you dual inductors for a Mello Wah sound or full-on Funk Wah. You've got a toggle on the toe-end of the pedal to switch between one or two inductors (Dunlop Fasels). The toggle on the right side is for bass and resonance - the center is stock wah, the other two positions give you different bass boosts - you can get tones from Stevie Ray to Clapton to Hendrix and more. The knob on the right gives you Midrange/Volume control. Keep in mind this has true bypass so this won't steal your tone with the pedal off, plus he's included a new style of stomp switch dampener - making this perfect for studio work too.
And, last but not least, he wisely added a blue LED light so you can tell when it's on and off. Simple, yet genius and an easy way to ensure your tone's where you want it all the time. This Keeley Vox Wah V847 comes with the Vox soft cover and is boxed, with Keeley's detailed info as well.

This Keeley Looper is an incredibly small true-bypass looper box from Keeley Electronics! This little wonder is only 1 inch wide and 3 inches long, fits in the tightest of pedal boards and offer you a dramatic improvement in tone. Connect any effect to this unit that is "old school" and not true-bypass. In particular Vintage wahs, echos, phasers, fuzz face type pedals, etc., or even new effects that might have a weak bypass system. These elderly effects rob tone when they are off. Now you can make them truly bypassed when off with this little box. Works with or without power. When you add a DC supply to this unit, the two LEDs let you know if the loop is active or not. The Blue LED indicates your signal is passing through the vintage effect, the Red LED indicates true-bypass. The Keeley Looper, don't leave home without it!

The Keeley Java Boost is a germanium based TREBLE BOOSTER, it is not a clean boost. It is designed to give you classic tones from the 60's and 70's, and that is exactly what it does. This pedal must be used with a cranked amp that is overdriven or distorting a bit already. The more the amp and pedal are cranked, the more the creamy, beautiful, sustaining distortion there will be.

Improving on the award-winning Keeley Compressor, this 4-knob version gives you the same superb transparent compression that has made Keeley famous, but with input wave and attack controls on the outside, instead of inside the pedal. Easily Keeley's most popular - the sound is all you, only better.

The Keeley Katana Boost is the best boost pedal ever for Teles. I have a lot of boost pedals but this one has the perfect tone for Tele cut without slicing someones head off. -John F.
Another gem from the very talented mind of Robert Keeley - this boost is just outstanding. Clean Boost pedals are always the most scrutinized pedals - asked to do so little, yet so much. Basically, we all wish for our guitar and amp tone, only louder when using a boost pedal - any time the clean boost pedal adds anything, we get extremely annoyed. Robert has designed a very transparent, true bypass loaded pedal that, when you want it, will provide a nice, musical boost, or will drive your amp into pure overdrive. Is it completely transparent? This is about as close as we've heard without spending a small fortune. It can also go into a grittier mode with the speed knob pulled out. This mode is also highly musical for adding a bit of grit to your amp sound without having to mix it into your amp's overdrive! The 9 volt power supply is doubled for transparent dynamics as well, no compression or limiting. This Keeley Katana Boost is a must-hear for clean boost customers.

The features of the Boss TR-2 have always been cool, but its life as a tone sucking machine has been well documented. Now that Robert Keeley is done with it, it is probably the best trem pedal on the market. First off, he fixes the volume drop, bass frequency loss and the input level tone suck. By improving the components, Robert has effectively made this suitable for guitars and keys, no input overloading here on keyboards. He also adds a control for the output level, so you can get the proper amount of level boost for your particular needs. The waveform knob still works just like the original TR-2, great for fine tuning the envelope. Great amp like trem tones and sputtering on/off "machine gun" effects with no tone suck.

This is one of the best combination of Germanium transistors and diodes we have ever heard. The combination of the "woolly mammoth" tones from the Germanium and the smooth, buttery crunch of the diode produces a HUGE tone from this yellow guy. If your Fuzz Face clones are frustrating you due to the inconsistancy from temperature changes and are tired of altering your playing style to suit the pedal, this is your box. It actually reacts in a POSITIVE way to variations in your picking attack and will give you consistant Germanium tones from gig to gig. This one has the bass boost switch and the diode selector switch. The left switch is the bass boost when in the up mode. The right switch gives you more of the Germanium for the most distortion in the up position, and a stock tone with the silicon and germanium blend for the clipping. All modes yield satisfying results and are infinitely better and more responsive than the stock SD-1. We also had Robert install the Burr Brown chip for higher fidelity, but the TI RC4558P chip is in a little compartment for use as a backup or to allow the user to change if so desired.
