Hurrah I say - this is what I call a real demo of a pedal… spared for all the technical bawling and directly to the point. Not just only demonstrating the different sound possibilities, but more importantly, showing these different effects in a musical context where is really gives meaning! Just absolutely great!!! A thousand thanks to Mike!
Any pedal Mr. Keeley builts is on a league of its own! Red Dirt blew my mind, then i bought a Katana Boost which introduced me to a tonal dimension and headroom i didn' t believe was possible from a pedal...now this! I am so buying this pedal. Great pedal and an awesome demo!
ORDERED!!! Can not wait to get my hands on this one. Your work keeps getting better and better. This will be my seventh RK pedal, and and the sixth that will be on my main board. I also have three old Boss pedals that you modded for me in 2009, while my 4-Knob compressor is autographed inside and dated 2005 - I've been a fan and a customer for a long time. I have watched your 'in-house' videos too, and am truly happy to see that such wonderful products come from what looks like a great place to work. Keep up the great job, everyone at Keeley, and please continue to let your obvious love for what you do continue to be your guide. PS: The Katana Blues Drive might be the best damn OD anyone has ever made. It beings new meaning to the word 'transparent' in pedal lingo - each one of my guitars sounds completely like itself when played through it, in every aspect of timbre and tone. It has incredibly smooth gradations from clean to breakup, to saturation, to crunch and up to flat-out raunch. I have been searching for decades, hoping for a pedal that did all of this, and I got it for a reasonable price, from a company I like & respect - and it has TONE CONTROLS TOO!! Thank you to everyone at RK for their hard work. Cheers!
Jesus wept Mike, I got the purple one this morning. Zero research so when I see this thingy came out 5 years ago this was my first stop to see what the hell I just bought. Ohhh man. You know it is becoming a bit of a habit since I got into pedals. The Broker was my first one bought after your demo. Now I just comb through to see whatever you’ve done. Daaaamn this thing sounds awesome!
I've had the BubbleTron about four years now and I really like it. I don't even like flange that much but the triggered flange is great. Against common sense I run it after two TS9s and a Ross comp clone and it can still trigger the flange after all that gain (basically have the sens knob at 0).
Philip Copping I have the Maxon and did a demo on my channel, which is a great pedal but is kind of a one trick pony. This thing does so much more, if this was out at the time I would have gotten this. I'm ordering one and will do a demo and post my thoughts. I do a lot of funky music and hearing this I am already hearing sounds I could use on my next record. Very funky.
This is one delightfully weird pedal. I have had various envelope filters before but this is really unique. Adds all sorts of weirdness to your playing. I put it before my drive/gain pedals and wow just floored me w the cool complex stuff that came out of it. When I played Strats I was a Robin Trower maven and this thing oh my god this thick envelope phase pulse comes out which is a tone I tried for ages to get with various drives and a photocell univibe in front like Robin. This puppy was kicking that out on my Les Paul no less, remarkably cool pedal. A fusion players dream, all you mothers get inventing!
Love Mikes playing so much. Such Liquidity and.flow. Hit a wrong note, play through.RK, great creation. I might have to get another pedal smh. Peace & Love-
arrived today.... this pedal is INSANE.... 3 hours of twiddling and still no end in sight. Exactly what I was looking for. In the 3 hours I have been playing with it I find myself altering my approach to lead lines to best utilize the effects.(this is a good thing). A pedal that opened me up to new possibilities to say the least.So many tones available from one teensy weensy pedal.WOW is all I can say.You are a frikking genius Mr. Keeley.
Lol. You'd be surprised. Connan Mockasin uses chorus in like every single one of his songs. hahaha. Some artists can really do a shit ton. Just depends on how out of the norm you wanna get with your sound. :-)
“Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible.” -FZ
That's what we are trying on for size! ;-)
One size fits all!
"Everybody got mixed feelings about the function and the form
Everybody got to deviate from the norm!"
Rush
What is this a Prog rock sermon.....😂🙏🏻?
Nowadays, progress is not viable. It's all generic shite .
That's the ZAPPA sound! So cool. Awesome playing in this demo too. Thank you, Mike Hermans!

A thousand thanks to Mike!
That’s so kind of you! Thanks so much for watching
3:38 and things get all Black Napkin....brilliant use of a brilliant pedal Mike!
EVERYTHING IN ITS RIGHT PLACE :O
hearing that second part he layered over it made me think, for the first time in my life, that EIIRP kinda sounds like numb by linkin park
That was an awesome surprise lol
Yeah, sounds amazing!! Another inspiring pedal by Robert Keeley and his team!! Great demo as always Mike!!
I'm always excited when a Keeley pedal shows up for me to demo. Such a fun toy! Thanks for watching
Holy shit!!!!! This is one of the best videos!! Awesome pedal, awesome riffs! Well done! Will definitely be buying!!!!
First demo got me into phaser.. what a great pedal and killer playing!!

Really enjoying the music uv made out of this one, man.. U just make me want to play!

Howdy Jahn! Thanks for the many, many kind words sir! So glad to make music a little more fun to create.
Happy Birthday R. Keeley! Thanks for the presence! ;)
Thank You!
A must-have for me. Thank you for turning me on to this!
It's like 70's prog rock reincarnated in a box.
It's about time!
wow. I really like that pedal. Have the Dynatrem and its one of my pedalboard mainstays.
The Dynatrem is awesome !

Damn... Thought I was sold on getting a Maxon AF-9... Till I saw this! Great pedal and fantastic playing as usual... Everything in its right place
Thanks! This is a great pedal for sure. Very unique!

You officially dominated this pedal
Excellent demo. Really interesting sounds, and superbly played. I just bought one of these pedals (in the UK). Can't wait for it to arrive!
Great job on this one
Thanks!
Sean, you going to do a demo on this one? :)
+SolidSmashies it's right up my alley and I'd love to but I don't have one. I'll see about at least borrowing one.
Word! Hope you can get your mitts on it. Love your demos.
SolidSmashies I really appreciate that, man. Thanks!
At 4:05 it starts to sound a lot like Frank Zappa!
That Radiohead KILLED IT!!!!!! Everythiiiiiiinnnnnggg....in its right plaaaaace....
great solo at 4.05 - very black napkins
Love Mikes playing so much. Such Liquidity and.flow. Hit a wrong note, play through.RK, great creation. I might have to get another pedal smh. Peace & Love-
This is the pedal I didn't know I needed!
4:04 I’m sold
THIS IS A GREAT DEMO.. COULD SEE USING TWO OF THESE BUT IT DOES THE 3 AT ONCE I SEE.. WANT ONE..
A lot of these tones remind me of Omar Rodriguez Lopez stuff from around 2010.
Finally a pedal dedicated to Zappa, probably couldn't put his name on it for legal reasons sadly.
just ordered this and cannot wait to get my hands on it... I am thinking apostrophe and overnite sensation all day...weeeeeeee
arrived today.... this pedal is INSANE.... 3 hours of twiddling and still no end in sight. Exactly what I was looking for.

Will it do Watermelon in Easter Hay? That's all about which I care.
I read that he used an old ibanez flanger on that...one of my favourite tones ever.
What's "crazy silverback gorilla" flange? 10:38 Also (Mike), any opinions on the effect sounds available via he internal dip switch?
ZAPPA
What's the song at 2:03. That's excellent
Ship Ahoy !
nice stuff hermie!
haha sounds insanely good! Love the Radiohead bit!! Any chance you can do the Bogner La Grange all of the other demos are s##t..?
I have one, it's awesome, but it could be better- the hidden modes should be accessible on top. Leave the modern/vintage inside.
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!
YES WANT THIS.. SOOOOO FRANK
Strangely familiar to the look of electro harmonix wouldnt you say
Sick! coolest.
I'd like to own this one day
Does it come with black napkins?
Fab pedal.... random question, what instrument cables are those?
What kind of overdrive you us in combination with the Bubble Tron?
Yeah, I want to know this as well!
What kind of cords do u use??
Did I hear kid A ?
Can this thing do subtle flavors as well as crazy shit?
Yes, you just turn the sensitivity and/or depth down. Or go to bank two and you have standard flanger, phaser and a regular envelope filter.
This is the Central Ssssscrutinizer
Black Napkins.
Song at 2:05 ?
Everything in its right place - Radiohead
Everythaaaaaaaaaaaang
Not wild about this pedal so I concentrated more on the exceptional guitar playing.
Does it also do LFO phasing if you turn down the sensitivity knob?
Shit,I got get one if these!
like old moog´s
That's exactly what we implemented, the filtering in Moog synths. What an easy to work with tone. Just sounds musical.
does it do anything well?
Yeah your mom
Not a perfect device, but a darn fine demo vid
I can't see this being used to often...
Lol. You'd be surprised. Connan Mockasin uses chorus in like every single one of his songs. hahaha. Some artists can really do a shit ton. Just depends on how out of the norm you wanna get with your sound. :-)
