Keeley Electronics Presents - The new Keeley Rotary w Owen Barry

[@RobertKeeleyTV]

Owen, thank you so much for this incredible set of demos. Your use of the speed changes from fast to slow is amazing! So dynamic it makes the music really pop! THANK YOU!

[@nybyooboy1]

Keeley Claus! You and your elves have freak'in killed it! Dude, once again you have downloaded tone from my brain and put it in a nice little box me and for all! Rock&Roll!!! Thank you BIG TIME BRU!

[@RobertKeeleyTV]

@@nybyooboy1 You are very welcome my friend. It's my team of people that craft these excellent sounds. I'm so proud of my guys and gals. We are making our best sounding products to date.

[@_RLP]

​@@RobertKeeleyTVYou're all amazing! Awesome pedals!

[@tomfoolery342]

Is this pedal the same as your "I get Around" pedal?

[@YMESYDT]

Hey Robert, sorry to be this guy but I hope we see an updated Super Mod Workstation come soon! Being able to get a Keeley quality delay, reverb, a couple mod effects (tremolo and envelope), maybe even a tuner, would kick a lot of things off my board! But either way love you guys and all you do :)

[@Stratollac]

Damn! This is an incredible demo of a really great-sounding rotary speaker emulator! I'm in.

[@mikewentworth9819]

Keely is frickin knocking it out of the park with all their recent pedals!! I love this rotary petal!!

[@briankahanek]

Sounds great Owen! Finally a dedicated rotary pedal with all the needed functions. Look forward to adding this.

[@michaelleonard2215]

Wow!!! This sounds so good!! I have to admit that at first I was not thinking it would be so dynamic and expressive!! This is one of those rare cases where this is actually better than its inspiration!! 10/10 Will definitely be getting one

[@RobertKeeleyTV]

thank you! Owen really knocked it out of the park. He made the most of the rate changing. One of the coolest features of the pedal, it's what makes it so responsive and dynamic.

[@michaelleonard2215]

@ indeed!! I was totally sold within one minute 😂

[@JP.s_Underdog_Guitar_Repair]

Sure beats dragging a Leslie enclosure around. That is if you could find one that still works! I could lose myself for hours with this pedal. Nice work Robert and team!

[@MikeRiddle1984]

I was literally googling "rotary pedals with ramp" this morning and then this pops up this evening. I'm in!!

[@MrSmiley1964]

It's official Robert, I want one of these! I might have to get one for my cousin. It's Christmas after all.

[@nickolasecker9596]

I absolutely love this pedal. 2024 was the best year the company ever had regarding product releases. The 4 in 1 series breathed new life into the stagnant dirt pedal scene. The Octa Psi combined two commonly paired effects and executed both remarkably well, perfect for shoegaze, doom, garage rock and classic rock. The Zoma usurped the Flint by providing improved dsp quality and controls. The Halo Core took an already beautiful delay and improved the dsp while simplifying the user experience. Now the Rotary is providing us with an affordable take on the rarely seen modulation style.

[@billmcnabb1037]

Sweet pedal Robert!

[@Zwidawurzn]

Crazy stuff, a quality Leslie pedal with all the essential features and no overcomplicated frippery at a normal price! Didn't expect that, hopefully they arrive at EU stores soon.

[@matthewmacdonald9851]

That box sounds fantastic, nice and chewy. Great demo, tasty stuff!

[@MrPinkfloydian]

WOW! Quite impressed! Amazing pedal! Probably the one I'll have my eyes on. And Owen... what a player! Great demo!

[@sixstringsoundlab]

Killer playing and a great sounding rotary sim!

I stayed for Black Hole Sun..... 4:05 nice.. The ramping acceleration is just right from "GO".

[@kiragina.7152]

I've been loving the rotary on my Super Mod Workstation for years. Hmmm.

Great job nailing the SRV tones.

Owen nailed it for sure ;-)

His name may be backwards, but his playing and Pedal is crazy awesome!!

Okay Mr Keeley just take my money AGAIN 🤯

[@PatrickEmMartin]

Here, take my money!

[@grooveitman929]

Bob, I already have the Dyno my roto!! This seems much better...

[@RobertKeeleyTV]

two different things, the Dyno My Rotary is a killer pedal with several effects in it. This is stereo and has a cool brake feature

[@wesmitchem825]

Damn I love the new Keeley form factor of the pedals now if only they sold some twelve string simulators for a cheaper price I can't justify that much money when I could buy a used 12 string guitar for that much money

[@Gearhound62]

Sounds good...may replace my H&K ...

[@TheSturling]

It's just a pedal what's the big de- 4:54

[@twangman]

Keen to know what the overlap of speeds is between fast slow - ie. does fast pick up where slow leaves off? My issue with other pedals of this type (eg lex/pinwheel) is that there is a huge gap between fastest slow and slowest fast that can only meet in the middle by ramping. Been trying to replace my old Boss RT20 - does this perfectly but getting noisy in its older age.

[@RobertKeeleyTV]

Howdy, you can set the ramp speed yourself. It's an alt feature. You can set it for instant speed change, out to a few seconds... ;-)

[@twangman]

Thanks for so much for the fast reply, but doesn't quite answer the question - I guess what I'm really asking is what is the fastest fixed speed on the slow setting? Don't want to be tap dancing on the ramp if I can avoid it! Pretty sure I'm buying one regardless as it sounds incredible!

[@RobertKeeleyTV]

@@twangman Howdy! You can set any speed you desire for the Slow Speed. It can be virtually stopped (0.6hz), or as fast as our pedal goes (6.6hz)! The "Fast" setting is where ever the large rate knob is physically set. You set the Slow speed by holding the Slow/Fast switch down and setting the rate however fast or slow you want it to be. It remembers it even after power off. Let me know if that helps!

[@twangman]

@@RobertKeeleyTV amazing! Thanks so much - really appreciate you taking the time to answer.

[@Emperor.of.Organos]

This is essentially the I Get Around in a non-collab skin, correct? I've been eyeing that down for a while.

[@RobertKeeleyTV]

95% Yes the same and a huge 5% that are sonic improvements since the BB collaboration.

[@HoddyRidarick]

I had the Keeley 'I Get Around" and ended up selling it because of the very noticeable volume drop when the pedal was engaged. Does this pedal have the same volume drop?

[@darwinsaye]

So this is the I Get Around pedal in a black case, right?

[@RobertKeeleyTV]

soo close, there are some small changes but all of the main features are the same. 3 way toggle in this for mid boost. And our latest, higher fidelity board. same dsp programing however. So a big heap of yes and a sprinkle of no.

[@cortmiller]

My only complaint about the new box layouts like this and the halo core is that they don’t have an expression pedal option. Especially for something like the speed on this. I know you could dial the big knob with your foot but an expression pedal would be much easier. Otherwise I love the new layouts

[@RobertKeeleyTV]

we are working on what will become our top tier pedal line and that will more than likely be at the $299+ price point and have Midi, Presents, and Expression/Remote control. Those products should start to become available sometime in 2025. I had hoped we would have something by the NAMM show, but I don't think so. lol

[@cortmiller]

That’s kind of a bummer. Wish I would have waited till 2025 then to check out the rotary. Just ordered it at release. But excited to see what the new line will look like

[@jsapi23]

I have a Roger Mayer Voodoo Vibe + and not sure if I need this 😆

[@TheArtofBlues]

[@tonepleb]

Thanks! Just a homemade 1x12 with a celestion gold

[@Jesse_Johnson]

Sounds incredible. Take my money. Now. So stoked.

[@jeffball6656]

Is this the same as The Beach Boys - I Get Around Simulator? Whatever the case, it’s sounds fantastic!

[@ImLordBaltimore]

Curious about this too. The copy says it's a "brand new set of circuit boards" but the Beach Boys one came out pretty recently. Keeley himself hinted at the rotary in the last year. My guess is the licensing deal with The Beach Boys forced their hand to release that version before they released their default version? I'd almost guess they wouldn't want to admit it if this non-Beach-Boys version is different at all.

[@RobertKeeleyTV]

@@ImLordBaltimore n @jeffball6656 howdy! I've been fond of saying this is 95% what the BB rotary was and 5% something huge and new. That's becuase the new circuit boards have small changes to the circuit design that allowed us to increase our fidelity. We wanted to further distance from the BB stuff with a 3 way toggle instead of a 2way. We changed the order of the output jacks as well. both circuit boards are now different. The DSP is the EXACT SAME (thankfully - it sounds amazing and always has) except for some tiny exceptions like there are now 3 toggle switch settings, the tap tempo light flashes a certain way, write to the other output jack this time. So is it the same as the BB stuff, yes for the most part. We made some super cool changes in October after the BB pedals came out in June I think. Seems close in time, but that's how it played out.

[@ImLordBaltimore]

@@RobertKeeleyTV Nice, thank you. I appreciate the transparency.

so sorry Tom, but I have so many ideas and a team on Fire!

[@cedarbay3994]

Cool pedal but had to stop watching after too many cornball SRV licks.

[@RobertKeeleyTV]

you missed out on so much good playing. Owen is a master player. (I personally thought he played those SRV licks quite well, didn't you catch how he was changing the rotary speed dynamically?)

[@tonepleb]

I played in this style for the demo because SRV was a prominent rotary speaker user… whether you like that style or not, it’s contextually appropriate for the product….. Just do your best to ignore the playing, the pedal is fantastic!

[@nybyooboy1]

@tonepleb I'm an 80's child! Thanks for the wonderful memories! You sound like Sativa. Bless ya... 🙌🏾

[@jerrymander1492]

This a Stevie Ray pedal

[@RobertKeeleyTV]

yes sir! A must have to get the tone and effect correct.

[@jde1780]

The problem with this video is that it isn't in "Stereo" with LR panning. It was mostly in the left channel with natural room reverb. If it was used in stereo, then it should have been properly recorded in stereo. The recording didn't help the product. I'd prefer to hear the comparison between mono use and stereo use. That would be a true test of it's abilities.

[@uwedasler425]

Well, you can see throughout the video that there is only one cable plugged in - so, I doubt that it was 'used in stereo'. There will be a gazillion of reviews and demos of this that include stereo use; this was one player showing his use and (I guess) an amp in the room sound recorded using a smartphone... And I assume (!) for most people having mono setups this is more valuable / representative than some highly produced sound they will never hear themselves.

[@tonepleb]

This isn’t intended as a full product demo … just a few sound clip examples of how I would use the pedal. I’m sure you’ll find a stereo demo soon enough though.
