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. 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. 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? 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!

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 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. 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.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 Fuzz is een voltreffer met de drie modes (full, flat en scoop). Mijn ehx big muff nano is overbodig geworden. Mijn eerste Keeley pedaal en ik ben onder de indruk. De geluiden zijn stuk voor stuk heel mooi en organisch. Not 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.

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.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 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.
