Keeley Electronics Halo - Andy Timmons Dual Echo
Рет қаралды 39,021
2 жыл бұрынGuitar and Synthesizer demo of Halo Dual Echo, the new Andy Timmons signature pedal made together with Keeley Electronics.
The Halo sees Keeley join forces with guitar legend Andy Timmons to create and capture his signature enigmatic delay sound. It features 5 different true stereo delay modes, modulation, saturation and filters, which let you shape everything from pristine multi-tap delays, Atmospheric analog echoes and distorted tape tones. On top of that you got two easily accessible A/B presets, 4 preset banks, tap tempo and infinite hold, making this one heck of a powerful little box of echoes.

Stephan, the genius of your approach to your channel is your explaining and demonstrating each of the features of a pedal. This, more than any other channel I'm aware of, gives the viewer all of the information needed to make an intelligent purchasing decision. I've bought at least 5 pedals over the years that I was initially iffy about strictly due to your thorough reviews.

Gosh! That means so much to me. I spend a lot of time getting to know the products deeply before I start recording anything, so I'm really thrilled to hear that it's appreciated on the other end of the screen, and that it's actually helpful to you when making a potential purchase. Makes all the hours spent on making a video like this totally worth it.

Yeah, he always used two Memory Man Delays, in series, then he has various wet/dry, stereo, wet/dry/wet, etc. options, out to the amps. The complaint I see on many delay and reverb, even mods now though, is not just that they aren’t stereo, but true stereo, or at least stereo ins and outs. Regardless of how wickedly awesome the effect is, the comments read “no stereo, automatic no sell.” Not always, but I’ve seen it a lot, like tap tempo before. Just in the past ten years, I’ve seen the “no tap tempo? Forget it.” over and over. Time based or mod effect. I get it for ambient players, but there are options to make things stereo, and most of the greatest users of delay, had no stereo units, no tap tempo. Maybe expression over number of repeats or time, but the Boss delays, DD series, snd DM, had no tap tempo or expression control, nor stereo, snd somehow guitarists figured it out. 😆

@thepedalzone 2 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the kind words about the demo. Means a lot to me! So the thing about the different modes is that they aren't "algorithms" per se. They are rhythmic settings inspired by different delay units. So the Tape Mode is just a cascading delay rhythm inspired by old tape units. You can impart all of the different modes with tape-like qualities through the different controls. If you want to create a tape-like sound, then use the High-pass to roll off some of the low-end, introduce some saturation and grit through the Saturate control, dial the Tone just a tad back to slightly soften the high-end and introduce a bit of slow modulation for some sway and flutter. The same way, every mode can be a digital delay, if you leave the Tone maxed out, and don't introduce any saturation or high-pass, and every mode can be an analog delay, if you dial the tone well back and introduce some subtle compression and modulation.
@MattJacques 10 ай бұрын
Love it! Think I was confused about the dual footswitches somehow controlling "delay A" and "delay B" that would interact with each other or be switched on/off independently. The footswitches just basically control preset banks, and it's really 'just' some of the 5 delay modes that are 'dual delay' by design, yes? Thanks for including the synth demo too... I'm definitely hoping to use this with my Microfreak!
@bluepedalsrock9271 7 ай бұрын
In short, this isn’t the Strymon Dig. It definitely gives you some dual delay sounds with wonderful tweaking possibilities. But the A and B buttons can only be used one at a time and they are separate from one another. This is the info I wish I knew before buying this. It’s still a high quality stereo delay unit, so I’ll be keeping it. But I was hoping to be able to tweak what kind of delays I’d be combining. Instead you’re kinda stick with 3 of the 5 delays and their specific dual delay rhythms. That’s why they’re called “rhythms” on the pedal but he calls them “modes” in this video. For example, the Halo, Analog and Tape settings cannot have their dual delay rhythms changed.

Okay help! I watched your video and noticed that the settings don’t sound the same as yours. I was curious if you’d be willing to share those settings and how you got them? There are secondary controls using the Halo so when I adjusted the first set of them, it’s missing the others. Have a great day!

Hi I am thinking of upgrading to this from a Boss DD 20, which i have used since forever. Was wondering if its worth the upgrade or if its possible to tweak the trusty old Boss to get close to the Halo effect. Thanks so much in advance.

Do you still enjoy this echo pedal? I purchased the EmIII after your demo and it’s become one of my favorite delay pedals of all time.. I actually ordered this one and am looking forward to learning the pedal
@thepedalzone 10 ай бұрын
Yes, I absolutely love the Halo. One of the finest straightforward delay pedals I've ever played. The way that the delays cascade to almost enter reverb-like territories is absolutely unmatched, in my opinion. I'm honored to hear you picked up the EM-III after watching my demo. That delay pedal is so underrated.

I would like it to have a blinking tap tempo led. Don’t know why it doesn’t stay always on! Another think it is annoying with this pedal is the fact that the tempo is always changing with each preset.

This or the Alexander Rewind delay - you can only choose one 😄 Go!
@thepedalzone 3 ай бұрын
Depends on what my situation called for. If I needed a bunch of wildly different delay tones, then I would go for Rewind. If I needed the best echoverb tones on the planet, then I would go for Halo. Halo can't do what Rewind does and Rewind can't do what Halo does. So it all comes down to what you really need for your rig to nail the sounds in your head.

I do not have headphones on at the moment. I will come back later.

See ya later 😊 I'm just assuming most people will be watching on their phones, which will deliver a fine experience, but if you want the full experience of the stereo image, then headphones or a proper monitor setup is definitely to be preferred.

Man, I wish all delays had that much saturation, I dont get close to that on my volante

Yeah, the compression/saturation is hella cool. Opens up so many sound design possibilities.

Can it do a basic delay also without all the modulation?

Yes. I also show that in the demo :)

@@thepedalzone I like analog/tape voiced delays with a bit of warble/lo-fi. Compressed repeats that can sit as a bed underneath the notes for a 'pad' effect (like Space Spiral ) and this one seems to do it. Distortion on the repeats is a fun effect behind cleaner bass lines. I like my carbon copy because of the “halo” like reverb effect it has with modulation on and this pedal seems to be built around that ethos. The tone knob and HPF seem perfect to roll out the bassy mud. Presets. Freeze and the ability to do different types of modulation is a mega bonus. : ) I probably forgot something.

It is a really great album for sure. Maybe even my favorite of theirs. Tough choice between that and Mariner. They just get better and better for every album they put out.

Hello. Which one do you prefer? Halo or Raster2?
@thepedalzone 10 ай бұрын
Gosh! That's an impossible one to answer. They are extremely different pedals. If you want a straight forward delay with a smeary vintage vibe, then go for Halo. If you want a more complex but almost endlessly tweakable delay that handles everything from standard delays, modulations, pitch-shifting, pseudo-looping and crazy sound designs, then Raster2 is the one. I love both, but I love them for very different reasons, and would use them in very different ways. Hope this helps in some way
