This is such a good pedal to pair up with the Eccos. It’s a deep, immersive stereo reverb and vibe that I really fell in love with! Great pedal!

I can't thank you enough for the review Rabea. You're so right, the combo of Eccos and Hydra is many, many hours of creative fun.
@AdrianJames28 3 жыл бұрын
Great pedal! First one I've been tempted by in months! I see it's analog dry-through, which is excellent. But is that also the case with the tremolo circuit? I struggle to see how that is possible with trem, unless it is an analog trem

Dang, I bought the dark side (for the delay or phase/flange) and the dynatrem (using it for the reverb), I might want to switch for a new ECCOS/HYDRA + another fuzz setup in a while for added versatility and stereo and looper.

Couple of nights ago, I was browsing eBay, Reverb, and the web in general, trying to scratch my pedal/GAS itch. Was looking at harmonic tremolo pedals, some reverb units, and then stumbled across this video. Next day, I was straight into Andertons like a rat up a drainpipe, and I'm now the proud owner of a Keeley Hydra. Today, I had a blissful couple of hours getting totally lost in those sounds, and learning to play Rabea's intro chords from the vid. It's a sound I've heard in my head a million times, but never been able to reproduce myself - until now! Thanks Robert - thanks Rabea!

I am so glad to hear some players do solo guitar work with reverb and/or delay that is super ambient. This is a cool pedal. I still have my caverns reverb which I am so satisfied with. Actual physical pedals could be handy if you want to do a live gig, but some computer stuff could be used if you want too live if you have a pretty portable setup, I saw devin townsend use some great tones on a computer setup live.

Thanks Rabea for making me feel good about having bought one of those Hydras. I was thinking about getting the Strymon Flint or the Bluesky and pair it with my Supro Trem last weekend, then this one came along with such perfect timming that now I don´t know what I´m gonna do with the Supro once the Hydra arrives home, for now I can´t wait to compare them both.

I’ve looked at all those too. I love the tones and trem options on the flint but this thing’s tones are killer, I like vibrato and harmonic trem, and the stereo I/O and ez panning options with the push button knob + presets really do it for me. This things got everything Also it’s hard find a good sounding spring in a multi-reverb And good lord it’s single size wtf is this sorcery

What super tones you pull out of that guitar. The Keeley wasn't bad either 😀 I think it sounds great, and you did a superduper review of it. Thanks! My only concern is that I would be spending too much time fiddling with the settings and all the possibilities available in the pedal. At least for my gigging pedal board I need my pedals to be set and go, so I can concentrate on my playing instead of bending down to adjust some setting, just because it invites me too. But you sure got me tempted to get one 😀 Cheers, Thor

I ended up buying this pedal. It covers all the reverb/trem territory I need + the surprise bonus that the harmonic trem does a solid enough Uni-Vibe sound that I don’t feel the need to dream about the $400 Dry Bell Vibe

Looks like a lot of learning curve. I bought a "Flint" pedal that I was going to demo when this one came out and i missed the return window. We'll see. One feature on both is the above to control parameters with a pedal. A good comparison would be "Hydra Vs. Flint." Sounds like a Gojira film.

kind of weird because normally you want tremelo before the amp and rev after ,so if you put the pedal before you are forced to set the amp pretty much clean .and if you put the pedal last I don't know how good may sound the tremolo .

Hey! Can you please recommend me a better alternative to the hydra today? I'm kind of new to the pedal world But I think I need a stereo option. I'm looking for an effect pedal to use with my *digital piano* and hopefully future Synth, right now mainly with Piano and Rhodes sounds. I want to have a unique signature expression. I (aspire to) play mostly Jazz, funk, fusion stuff like Vulfpeck, Cory Wong, Scary Pockets and DOMi & JD Beck. This will be my first effect pedal/s I buy. Budget around 250$ but I can stretch a little. Any specific recommendations? Thank you!
