Keeley Electronics SYNTH-1 | My New Favourite Pedal!!!

[@xJaGG3d]

13:39 that tone was surprisingly usable and sounded great! synths are magical things

[@armandoberholster3466]

There is always SOMETHING interesting going on, on this channel. Well done B.

[@randysutton2120]

It's really enjoyable to watch you play. It's so obvious how much you love the guitar, and it's infectious. I'm usually not into synth pedals, but this seems pretty different. Great demo.

[@coreyclark6505]

Never been a synth fan, but that filthy chaos mode seems inspirational.

[@mattgilbert7347]

Reminds me a little of my Caroline Wave Cannon Mk.1 in Chaos Switch mode. It's not 1-1 correspondence, but they are in a similar tonal territory.

[@chrisjohnstone6164]

I've watched lots of demos on this trying to work it out. Your's was by far the best my friend

[@samuelxavier2473]

Crikey, Bea, that was outstanding. Superb, sick and twisted sounds there, mate.

[@catapultic]

Wow. I bought one in less than 4 minutes of watching this video. Your intro riff really sold it, Rabea... nice work man. Can't wait to try it out!

[@kristopherarvey320]

20:00 sounds like an badass intro !

[@GuitarGirlAlex27]

I can't help but think of the Korg Miku pedal video on the Andertons channel haha! Awesome!

[@nautilusmagellan7263]

Rip :'(

[@mattgilbert7347]

AHHH-OOO-EWWW-OOOHHH

[@Ghostee61]

Nice one Rabbea. I've seen some other revues and they did not know how to use it at all. They'd never heard of the word "tracking" or the word "swell". Thanks again for showing us how it's done. ✌️🙂

[@scottroberts3801]

Super sick sounds, especially at about 15 minutes into video. Some of the tones sounded like playing guitar hooked up inside an alien spacecraft, awsome !

[@GitShiddy]

Bea Runner 2049. 🤘 I knew if anyone was gonna unlock the potential of this thing, it'd be Rabea.

[@TheCoronaMortis]

I wanna hear Toska 8-Bit!

[@yohnsvain9651]

Simply some of your sickest playing/sounds yet. I loved it!

[@thomasraven]

I love this fucking pedal! I just played with mine for two hours straight out of the box today. Not for traditionalists.

[@pauldavis3904]

Imagine if Hendrix had one of these

[@RobertKeeleyTV]

I think he'd love it!

[@pauldavis3904]

@@RobertKeeleyTV amazing stuff if only he was still here. Im going to try and buy one of these and channel my inner hendrix 🎸🎸

[@kevmac1230]

@@pauldavis3904 I can only imagine what Jimi'd be doing with today's technology,It would be mind blowing!

[@vrieskip]

Some sounds reminds me a lot of the apocalypse now soundtrack, which randy hansen made a 17 min long piece for.. so I think that's somewhat along the line of what I expect him to sound like with this pedal.

[@Rainydaydreamaway7]

The crazy thing is how many of these sounds Hendrix was close to or able to create with the primitive equipment he was using at the time

[@AlexCioata]

I'm searching for synth, fuzz, octave pedals for weeks now and yesterday I was looking at the Pigtronix Mothership 2 and now you come with this! Man that was perfect! Really love your videos and thanks for everything you're doing. Awesome music, awesome bands and awesome videos! Cheers from Romania! (Transylvania)

[@AlexCioata]

Coming back after seeing more demos of this pedal... you're totally amazing! You're the only one who got some decent sounds out of this pedal, the others (exept one bass demo) are just synth noise. Totally unusable. Don't know how, but man, you're an afro master of tone!!

[@JonDoe-wb1qo]

Seems like he's got it mastered..pedal succumbed to his mastery !

[@ethanwelles]

I just watched a demo of this the other day and wasn't impressed. Hearing it in much more capable hands like yours has changed my mind! Look forward to hearing what you do with this in production :)

[@TimHamelink]

Kinda reminds me of my Zvex Fat Fuzz Factory at some points. Lovely filth. Also, the Les Paul is a thing of beauty! Have a great weekend everyone!

[@RobertKeeleyTV]

That was a cool compliment man! Thanks!!!

[@mattheweastel129]

Amazing demo. This is such a crazy pedal and you got so many fantastic sounds!

[@betweensuns1143]

I like rabea's demos. He really tries to showcase different gear with enthusiasm and a very open mind

[@marshallrobson7297]

Mmmmm love the karnivool vibes you play for this pedal

[@CoreyMcCarren]

Hands down the best demo of this pedal I've seen. Great video.

[@hYpYz]

17:35 sounds like bladerunner soundtrack

[@kevmac1230]

Keeley makes such quality stuff.I love this one and have a ball with it.

[@fierybones]

Good demo, and very cool pedal! You should get a commission on the one I just ordered.

[@TheStrongBoyz19]

That is one of the sickest pedals I've ever heard, I love to experiment with sound than just being a guitar player. I love to try out some sounds that I could get from my pedals and think of a sound that I haven't done before, like Kevin Shields for example. I might purchase this one soon.

[@dakotariemenschneider654]

Hey Bea! Cheers from Colorado! Thanks for putting up these videos like this, you have been a major inspiration for me, I’ve been thinking about pulling the trigger on a Synth pedal for a while now and this video pushed me over the edge to do so haha thanks again! Keep it up 🤘

[@overdrivemejimmy6847]

Yepp im getting one

[@Ghostee61]

You were clearly having fun with the radio sound that you were extracting out of that pedal. Geiger counter has that but doesn't have the variety of sounds as the Synth-1. Nice one Rabea.

[@tylercampanella8507]

I like how some of the settings sound like you are surfing thru an oil spill but it’s ranch.

[@pedalscapes]

Awesome! Inspirational stuff...

[@yoel9599]

How can I get it to track better specially in the sine wave mode? It very glitchy and unpredictable.

[@Cuzza99]

where would be best place for this pedal to go in the signal chain? in the loop?

[@kajetanrabiega6030]

Heck yeah! As soon as I saw this pedal I thought of You and Dave haha. Can't think of a more qualified person to do this review 🤟🏼

[@reecemurdoch2833]

Has that new Gibson LP already got the signature Bea pick scratch?! Didn't take long at all! :')

[@montlejohnbojangles8937]

That thing sounds fabulous. I mean Keeley doesn't really make bad pedals so I guessed it would, but there you go.

[@KozmykJ]

Not to be confused with the Synth-1 VST synth plugin by Daichi Laboratory / Ichiro Toda. www.kvraudio.com/product/synth1-by-ichiro-toda BTW - I you go for the plugin, get the Librarian from Neutrino Sky as well. it expands it's utility dramatically. neutrinosky.com/

[@onkaadavis3504]

Nice demo! I agree! This pedal is awesome!

[@braddietzmusic2429]

What would be incredibly useful here is to play a clean uneffected portion with the pedal off, then turning the pedal on with the same notes played as the uneffected portion. It would give the viewer a much better idea how the pedal is interpreting and responding to what you are doing- particularly the more random-sounding aspects of the pedal’s output.

[@FatalizedGuitar]

Toska in the back, love it man

[@kulmajaba]

I'm constantly imagining some Cyberpunk film scene playing with this as the background music. So much cool stuff in this video.

[@injra9929]

F*ckin hell hey??!!!!! So sick bro, ordering mine next week. Gonna work perfect for my live sets🤗

[@KarlKarsnark]

I just saw Buckethead a few weeks ago and he was using a BOSS Bass Synth-Wah pedal all night too. They're especially fun and wacky if you use a nice, nasty Fuzz with them, as well.

[@JanisKlinnert]

Siiick pedal! You gotta make a vid of your moog as well at some point!

[@donewithmodernlife]

I REALLY like the tones this pedal is capable of. As always your playing is spectacular Bea, especially once you started playing the LP. This is one of the most useable sounding synth pedals I’ve ever heard as well. I can totally see using this as a songwriting tool as opposed to just making fucked up elephant noises.

[@mattorrin3269]

This is my dream pedal.

[@haveguitar]

Great demo! 💯👍

[@sounddude47]

If you split the guitar signal between a mic'd cab and this pedal to your interface, it should really add depth and a different type of harmonic structure to a normal guitar sound!

[@Vypyr00]

Listened to the intro and I already know this is gonna be a good one.🔥👊

[@joeblack007forever]

I really like my vintage EHX Bass micro synth but the Keeley Synth-1 do amazing differents tones I cannot reproduce with mine...so, I will have to buy one :) Thanks for your video Rabea!

[@jackangell6089]

Rabea, it’d be great if you did a video on your synth. Love you videos and playing

[@NefariousDreary]

This thing sounds awesome. Especially for its price

[@goatman3057]

Keeley is a genius

[@armandoberholster3466]

Also, a question for Q&A 10, how do you approach writing lead parts for songs?

[@NintenDub]

Very cool

[@georgewilkins4231]

Robbie I think you should take that Gibson back. Sounds very odd.

[@tommysserpents]

You do know his name isn't Robbie right?

My initial reaction was like "I already have a bit commander". But actually, these are two pretty different pedals and I am seriously thinking about getting a Synth-1 now.

[@davedavem]

Insane levels of prog!

[@Lokair54]

Is this still one of your Favorite Pedals, any hints or tips on getting it to track more accurately, I bought one based on this vid, I like its sounds but not 100% happy with the tracking(strait from my guitar, with vintage PAF out put should I go hotter on the pickups?) Lok

[@1202nico]

Give one of these to Jim Root and Sid might need a new job

[@simonbattams123]

I love it 👍😁

[@ancientmartianunderground6413]

At 12:30 I worried At 14:30 I smiled At 17:30 I grinned One question: Do you think the static happening each time you engage it might go away with different pickups....? I mean what if you even used a classical guitar with softer picking with fingers? I noticed you played with attack settings and it did seem to quiet down sometimes....Thanks and I think the pedal has great potential

[@FullTekAuto]

This thing would keep me up all night playing with it... trying to recreate Blade Runner and old school video game music lol

[@danielhahn7329]

This will take Toska in a whole new direction of awesome, holy shit.

[@adamstainer4637]

I Want one!

[@lionelgrgnt480]

Hi Rabea! woooooooooow what a pedal !!! so many different types of sounds !! so interesting !!! the Gibson Custom soundtracks are so unique, because you say it's a pure creation when the pedal is engaged, have you planned to create videos in the near future with loops of rhythms? it could bring us maybe even further in your universe, especially with the SYNTH-1 that I found to be a must-have (after the superkraken ...) do you think it has its place in TOSKA Lvl 3?

[@JoeBoult]

Bea, any chance of hearing this in a mix? Wanna see you using this in action! Definitely another reason to see Toska

[@mattsimo6789]

Please what expression pedal are you using? Thankyou!

[@LoVeAmBiEnT]

Looking for a synth pedal for ambient stuff. This, the boss sy-1 or the source audio c-1.... Any suggestions? Thx for any feedback!! Appreciate it

[@cchavez248]

Rabea!!! Do you still play this pedal on the regular? Desert Island, this or the Boss synth? I love Meris but it's a bit rich for me at this point.

[@ErnestoMartinezC]

Put a POG after that!!!

[@martinclayton7260]

Luckily I have a keyboard player! It's hard enough trying to play guitar without having to cover synths as well?

[@sonatedaquiTFM]

remembers me of some michael league's tones! so cool, only "bad" thing is the price, it's like you having another instrument. why even get a fuzz after watching this?

[@toblexson5020]

Awesome playing, made me think of Satch's more techno/synth-y style tracks. Actually, so much that I'm off to listen to Engines of Creation.

[@williama-d6]

you tore it up

[@joelcoool]

[@iamanactualcat]

Is it polyphonic?

[@RobertKeeleyTV]

Yes and no. I call it a monophonic pedal, but in some modes it is polyphonic.

[@iamanactualcat]

@@RobertKeeleyTV so... What mode is it polyphonic in?

[@karolkozak64]

Rabea, one question here. I saw you use the helix with Frogleap, did you guys have to use any hi cut/lo cut settings with those IRs by ownhammer and such? been tweaking mine and it sounds as if I have to cut everything above, say 8.5k otherwise it's just a buzzy digital mess. thx

[@liquid7315]

That pedal is an acid trip. Dr q on drugs
