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.
@AdrianJames283 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.

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

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.

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!
