Keeley Electronics
Timeless effect pioneers
that push right into the future
It’s hard to imagine where the pedal world would be today without Robert Keeley and his immense contribution to our industry.
Since 2001, Robert (AKA the Godfather of the boutique pedal movement) has been building effects pedals out of Edmond, Oklahoma, where he quickly solidified his name with his now legendary Keeley Compressor.
Keeley Electronics is now synonymous with high-quality effects, which combined with their adventurous spirit have seen them create some of the most iconic pedals in the industry, perfectly bridging the gap between classic and modern.
From modernised and refined takes on classic drives, to an unmatched selection of studio-quality compressors, the wild selection of powerful modulation and ambience devices and all the way to their signature workstations that perfectly capture the tones of the greats, the ever-expanding Keeley selection is a true treasure chest for blues players, bassists, classic rockers and experimental tone chasers alike.
However, with the recent venture into high-powered DSP with the ECCOS Delay/Looper and the HYDRA Stereo Reverb & Tremolo, Keeley prove once again that they are one of the true pedal pioneers.
In celebration of their 20th Anniversary Keeley Electronics have released the next generation of Keeley Compression, the Keeley Compressor Mini, which harkens back to their roots in pedalboard compression.
The HALO – Andy Timmons Signature Dual Echo is much more than a one-trick pony – it is a compact true-stereo delay workstation that comes loaded with Andy Timmons’ mysterious “Halo” effect. In further collaboration with Andy Timmons, Keeley have released their flagship signature hi-fi reverb NOCTURNE – Andy Timmons Signature Reverb

Keeley Electronics Launches RK2000 – Legendary Freeze-Hold Delay
RK2000 Funk Siren Delay
Legendary Freeze-Hold Delay
The RK2000 Funk Siren is the first-ever faithful pedal recreation of the legendary 1983 DM2000 rack unit delay. Inspired by the classic delay, famously used by Trey Anastasio of Phish, the RK2000’s 12 bit architecture, unique Hold feature, and dramatic modulation offer a sonic palette that not only captures Trey’s definitive “Funk Siren” but extends beyond any single genre. Transform a single second of sound into a limitless atmospheric soundscape.
No matter if you’re looking for clean classic delays, gritty and modulated tape-style echoes, washy analogue atmospheres, a modulation wonderland that spans an incredible gamut from subtle doubling to liquid chorus, frantic flanging and all the way to deep-diving pitch vibratos or a simple yet magical sampler to kick the sound-design doors wide open, RK2000 is dead-set on delivering at the highest level imaginable.
This is a pedal destined for everyone’s pedalboard.

NOCTURNE
Andy Timmons Signature Reverb
Developed in collaboration with Andy Timmons, the NOCTURNE from Keeley Electronics is a flagship reverb pedal that redefines ambient tones. With three reverb soundscapes shaped by just four intuitive controls, it’s designed for effortless onstage control and sonic depth for plug & play types. Advanced users will appreciate its remote switching, expression pedal support, preset storage, and full MIDI integration for maximum flexibility.
The NOCTURNE pedal gives you three new reverb modes — Nocturne, Spring, and Plate — each designed to be the guitar and amp’s perfect companion. The Plate reverb is based on Keeley’s extensive analysis and modeling of the stereo tube plate reverb that was in Austin City Limits studio since the mid-1970s. The Nocturne’s Spring reverb features their finest sounds based on both stand-alone reverb tanks and tube amplifier combos.

The simple four-knob layout of Tone, Level, Decay, and Modulation makes it easy to shape each gorgeous reverb algorithm. Each mode can be made a preset so you can store your favourite sounds. Alt features include pre-delay time control, allowing you to create slapback echo effects.
NOCTURNE offers a flexible signal path with True or Buffered Bypass, Expression Pedal control, Remote Switching, and MIDI compatibility for up to 72 presets. Whether you’re running mono or stereo, wet/dry, or full wet for parallel rigs, the NOCTURNE adapts easily to any setup. Built on Keeley’s award-winning Core architecture, every component and line of code is tuned to make this reverb feel musical and alive.
Operation is easy with the NOCTURNE – if the indicator LED is blue then it’s ‘wysiwyg’; the knobs set the tone or level of each reverb mode. If the LED is red, each reverb is a favourite or preset, where you can save the settings for each reverb mode.

HALO
Andy Timmons Dual Echo
Andy Timmons’ mysterious sounding “Halo” effect is a modulated dual echo sound that has long been kept a secret by the tone wizard himself. Andy spent decades combining and crafting the sounds you can now get from the HALO. Notes from the HALO dance rhythmically, almost creating a reverb diffusion. Those notes are held together with tape-style effects like modulation, saturation and compression. The results are stunning!
The pedal comes loaded with his signature delay tone and you can program your own sounds and save them as presets. Easily bounce between Side A and B on the fly, essentially giving you two delay pedals in one. In addition to Andy’s signature “Halo” sound, there are numerous other rhythmic delays including: quarter note, dotted 8th, stereo rack mount analog delay, and a vintage multi-head tape echo. Stunning stereo and pristine sound quality are further enhanced with controls for saturation, tone, and shelving filters that give you the ultimate delay pedal.
- Stereo Dual Delay effect pedal
- Stereo Dual Delay effect pedal
- Andy Timmons signature “Halo” sound saved as a factory preset!
- Functions as 2 delay pedals with up to 1500ms of available delay time with different sounds savable to sides A and B – then switchable between on-the-fly
- 5 delay rhythms
- Quarter Note
- Dotted Eighth
- Andy Timmons HALO
- Bucket Brigade – stereo rack analog BBD delay
- Tape Delay – vintage multi-head tape echo
- 8 factory presets loaded with new delay and modulation sounds
- Status light indicates when you’ve adjusted a knob from home settings
- Soft stomp switches for tap tempo, infinite hold, preset save/recall, and more
- Remote switching and programmable expression pedal control
- DREAM multi-core DSP for stunning sound quality
Think of HALO as two delay pedals that work in tandem, letting you switch between your main delay (side A) and an alternative (side B). With up to 1500 ms of available delay, set sides A and B for different delay times, then simply foot switch between the two. Keeley’s Smart Stomp System allows you to press and hold either stomp switch to engage tap tempo mode. Press and hold the alternate stomp switch for infinite repeat/hold.
Each Preset bank gives you 2 delays settings for a total of 8 user-storable effects. Use the Rhythm control to select between different echoes like HALO, Analog, Tape, Quarter and Dotted Eighth.
HALO’s Saturate control adds tape compression texture to your tone. The Tone and High Pass Filter controls your overall delay shape and mix. The Rhythm Mode selector delivers 5 delay types, including Andy’s unique “Halo” sound. Set the Time and Feedback controls low, and you can open up a world of ambient chorus and flanger effects.
Run the HALO in stereo for incredible true-stereo imaging or save your favorite combination of settings as a preset and the HALO becomes an incredibly compact multi-effect workstation!
