Welcome back to ProGuitarShop and ToneReport for a second trip to Keeley’s Caverns. The Caverns V2 is a fully-equipped time and space travel device that gives you two full-featured pedals in one box with individual footswitching. Two separate pedals of four knobs and one toggle switch each give you everything you want out of a delay-reverb combo with no stone left unturned. The right side of the Caverns V2 is the Keeley Mag Echo, an expertly-voiced tape delay emulation machine that serves up 650 milliseconds of warm, vintage-soaked tones. The small toggle on the delay side introduces adjustable tape-like modulation, from a pristine, fresh-off-the-line unit all the way through a worn-down studio doorstop. The Reverb side of the Caverns V2 gives a fresh control set, featuring a Warmth knob that darkens up any digital brightness generated by the reverb algorithms. Three modes of Reverb come standard on the Caverns V2. For vintage tones, a drippy spring reverb, styled after classic Fender “blackface” verb sounds, is included with an integrated tremolo that you can adjust into the tails. A Modulated reverb mode gives you some subtle sway in the background to compliment your tone by way of a chorus on the wet signal, while the Shimmer mode smashes the reverb sound into particles which are shifted up an octave for an ethereal tone that will liven up any riff. An internal trails/true bypass switch gives you the option of letting the footswitch choke off the trailing signal or keep it going even after the unit is switched off. And just like all Keeley pedals, the Caverns V2 is hand-forged by folks right here in the USA.
I'll drink a FIFTH to that! Thanks Andy and Crew! Love the clean sounds!
Thanks Radu! The 30ms is one of our proudest moments. Two amps, a 30ms, yer favorite guitar...and it's heaven! THANK YOU!
Sir, everytime I watch a demo of one of your pedals, I am impressed by how great they sound!
You truly are amongst the great pedal creators :D
By the way, what is the name of the background tune? It has a killer fuzz sound!
The Team of engineers and builders here are very grateful for your kind words! Thanks! rk
Some more love here for the 30ms. I'm not even an "effects" guy per se, pretty much stick to a bunch of OD's. But the 30ms is a secret weapon full of subtle double tones to make my sound punchier, some pseudo slapback in lieu of a delay pedal and I even use it for modulation ie near-flanger / leslie sounds.
Jasper, that's gold man. I really appreciate it. Gonna run my 30ms this weekend too, 10-15ms or so for some flanging... NOICE!
Just bought one of these today, never heard a reverb/delay twin so good, great stacking potential too
ProGuitarShop reviews are always the first ones i click on. i love how much praise Andy gets in the comments, he's kind of a guitar hero in his own right.
Thanks so much, although no new PGS vids will happen, I'm still at it on Reverb and AndyDemos channels!
Andy
It’s funny I often find myself listening to his videos just for riff and song ideas alone ;) Love this pedal!
Got this last week- great pedal! Initially bought it primarily for that great sounding shimmer reverb, but the spring sounds sooooo good. I could easily play a gig just with the D&M and this.
Thanks man! I teamed them up last weekend too for a blast! ;-)
Ah man, as much as I fight it I just can't avoid soothing chills in my spine whenever you play, Andy !
The second demo was on another level. Plus the snug smile at 8:00 is very communicative, love these demos !
Does Andy have any albums out or play in any bands? Always such a killer on these demos.
This master can take a toothbrush and make it sound like heaven. Love his videos.
Just bought one for my synths. Sadly had to sell my keeley d and m drive to fund it but I knew this Keeley pedal would be fabulous. And it is. Taken my synths to another dimension. Sounds sooooooo good. Great review Andy.
Is it only mono in? Just curious as i would be buying for my synths as well
@@chandeleerjet5637 Sorry I can’t remember. 🫤
probably listened to this demo like 25times for the opening jam..bought the pedal aswell, thanks for all you do!!
Do you still use it?
It's 'So far away from me' by Dire Straits.
Best guitar demo creator on you tube . Share it.
It's good to see the G&L back in your hands! Sounds great!
I bought one of these from Sweetwater a few weeks ago. It's a great pedal. Good price and lot's of fun. Built well. This is a great demo, but you have to hear this Caverns v2 live. sounds inspiring through my Supro 1600 supreme.
Awesome demo! Ordering one today...the sound is very appealing! This is one of the pieces of hardware that will lead to hours upon hours of immersion and inspiration!
Andy you're so far away! Great as usual.
Both play without a pick, forgot that.
I want this so bad!!!!!! Lol loveeeee the oscillation into reverb, huge!!
Boy, do I wish I was in the room. My ears can only imagine . God bless baby.
At first, I was convinced that it's a rendition of Dire Straits's So Far Away, while Andy was playing his craft.
Nice demo, review.
❤️🎸🎵🎶🎼💝
I thought exactly the same! It surely was Dire Straits.
If there was just a pedal of that reverb section (even just the spring) I would be so happy. This thing sounds amazing.
Hooke Reverb!
He really has the most amazing tone.
If Andy smiles during a demo, does that mean we HAVE to buy it...?
I think so, man, that Spring melts chords from an outerworld territory out of my guitar.
Could also be a drinking game.
Yes
😂😂
A great finger picker covers another great finger picker
My next pedal! Awesome playing as usual Andy you inspired me to put down the pick!
Great demo. One of the few that includes the full view of the pedal during the entire demo.
5:54-6:25 is so awesome! I could mess with just that for hours
Crazy right! 😮 But, what a ride.
Very nice takes me back to my Space Echo days,
Nice to hear it used in the context of a song.
pretty sure I knew the song after the 3rd chord! Great job Keeley! and PGS
Awsome dire straits intro! Good sounds..
Albert Pena What song is?
ArcticStereo The song is So Far Away by Dire Straits
Pedal manufacturers are lucky you exist.
It sounds awesome!
very nice pedal effects! gr8 guitarmanship Andy.
You could make a Cure album and a My Bloody Valentine album and I suppose a Pumpkins record too. Do it.
Excellent demo, as per usual, guys!
I love when Andy throws in some obscure Dire Straits.
Obscure...hmm. That record took over the world for a period of the 80s. Dire Straits went to playing stadiums over that album.
Sweet! How about a so far away riff of the day video?
Hey Andy!
First of all, i love all of your videos. :) Thank you for making them.
I have a question. Could you please tell me the circuit - especially the drive/fuzz pedal - that you used for the bass in the background music from 1:43?
Thank you in advance.
Great video!
My god, adding this to ‘the list’
5:55 I need Andy keep making this trippy sound for hours ;)
You get a shimmer in the dark. It's raining in the park, in the meantime.
what a beautful player
What a cool pedal.
The shimmer thing IS pretty cool, here, on other pedals; only problem? They make everything sound similar, unless you add some artful , fancy stepping - interjections with other effects. Whenever I hear it in demos, thinking " oh, it's a Gary Numan cover"
..
Excellent review this pedal is great. I know that opening riff but I cannot for the life of me remember what it was. Please let me know
So far Away...Dire Straights
catch22rz Thanks I should have known that getting old!!!!!
Andy, what is the tune you’re playing starting @ 6:36? Outstanding demo! I bought Caverns V2 because of this video! 🇺🇸🦅🗽🇺🇸
Andy is a god in my country.
Only thing this needs is a middle switch to turn on both without toe tapping. I guess if you want tap tempo spend another 200 bucks otherwise this is a really really good box.
This goes hand in hand with the Loomer
Hey loved the music and the review , good sounding pedal but the delay controls are poor and the shimmer too synthy. Expected more from a keeley v2.
You're so pretty when you smile andy
@ 4:00 I've never used mine with that high of warmth or blend before on the spring. Sounds best at like 25% with the warmth almost off for me
Interesting, trying to get a piece of that earthquaker devices action perhaps?
How does this compare to the nux atlantic? The atlantic is cheaper with tap tempo and sounds good but are the extra controls worth the money?
I had the same exact thought. Here’s what I think is the answer: the biggest gripe I’ve heard about the Atlantic comes from having no control over the tone of the actual delay and reverb, and that it is very bright. So my thought is, if the difference is $50, it might be worth it for the control of the warmth…
What is the track playing in the background around 1:45 - 3:10 - I am absolutely in love with the guitar tone around 2:40! Anyone know what that is? + pedal is great :D
Dire straits
That’s Mark Knopfler awesome guitarist
Sultans of swing tune is great too
Dire Straits, So Far Away From Me. Mark Knopfler is a fantastic guitar player.
Is this analog or digital? I want it to work in my fx loop for crisp repeats. Thanks!
google it..
No reverb pedal is analog.
Where can i buy your invisible picks?
No tap tempo? Or at least an output for an external switch? :/
Very good demo. But also very bad for my bank account. 😅
Caverns V2 or T Rex Replica. Please help me decide!
Go for the caverns
I can use the spring reverb without tremolo ???
Valentin Ferrere I know it’s an old post, but yes you can. Robert Keeley demoed this in a Namm 17 video I watched before this one.
Does the delay go into the reverb (come first) or vice versa? I want to run dual delays but want reverb last... Thanks!
Yes, the delay is before the reverb. Thanks!
I think this guy owns a record store in New York and has trouble finding the love of his life.
He looks like and reminds me of the actor that played the pimp in that “Californication” episode
Sounds great, but without so much as a jack for a tap option I can't justify it for my board.
Tap for what? The pedal is perfect the way it is, no tap needed. I don’t even think it would be useful with this pedal. I’m glad it is the way it is.
Just my 2 cents
@@brianrollins7275 tap tempo for delay. And you're entitled to your opinion. I had a chance to try this pedal about a year after my comment. I think there are better sounding pedals that also have tap tempo. Unless I'm extremely impressed with a pedal's sound (like an analog audiophile pedal), I expect tap tempo. There are a ton of other options.
The Caverns V3 could be add Tap Tempo and Subdivisions? 🙈
Why ruin a good thing? Simpler is better for me anyway. The Caverns v2 is perfect imo.
This sounds cool, but you're better off just getting the EHX Canyon. It does more than this and has the option of adding a tap. I can't tell if this one does or not.
Where in your pedal chain would you place this?
Im sold
Can Andy do anything wrong, evah? No, Andy rox!
BUENISIMO
Too bad there's 4 knobs covering most of what looks to be really cool prismatic artwork :(
I'll send you a shirt! Or the poster!
Of course we do 😂😂😂
Tap tempo?
No Tap Tempo ?
rate... supongo
What was that dire straits song?
So Far Away
What's the last song?
name of the first song andy played?
"So Far Away" by Dire Straits
Cavern or Collider?
I'm split between these too..I'm thinking the collider edges it tho..
Can thing do blues?
That's an interesting question and the answer is really up to you, since a reverb or delay doesn't really have a preference on musical genres. In general, Blues reverb favors spring or studio plate. I'd dial in a shorter spring or modulated reverb and set delay to a slapback for blues applications...but there's really no rules. Thanks!
what strat is that?
G&L Legacy
@@CalebDBarnes cool! I have one as my main axe for last 15 years . But now I'm gonna play my Johnny Hiland kiesel forever it's just too good.
Second!
NO TAP TEMPO
Ethan McKenna andddddddd?
Fourth!
Sorry. Not enough knobs.
Shutup and take my money!!!
Haha dont need no stinkin pick!
Studio door stop... hahahaha
First!
So far away from me...
Is this dood choosen to demo all the pedels,or does he have his own music without the coloring of effects,That make you sound as though you are really playing epic.A musician knows pedels can be fun sometimes to slightly add some effects when you need it , but nothing is better than the real deal, a tube amp being pushed and a musician that uses there ability .Pedels like compression yes for sure because that is just taking your amp and dialing in beauty.But to sit there and realie on sounds to play gets old to the ear.But to see someone smirk and amuse themselves by playing sounds and cover tunes,I don't know.You could not pay me enough.Triple his chin, tripple his head, tripple his cheese.All of a sudden as this dood is playing ,the pedels blow up in his face destroying his guitar and all his equipment.
I had fun making the video and playing the song, I think I'm allowed to show it! Joseph, this is pedal demonstration which shows entire range of the pedal. Would I use it in a more subtle approach in my own music? Absolutely! It's up to me to show how to use the gear and what possible sounds it makes, it's up to you to determine how much/little of it to use in your music.
Andy
The trick here is to NOT overuse the modulation .
Mine arrives in a week . 🤔
You’re exactly right. I bought this pedal a couple months ago and it is fantastic imo. If I want to go all crazy with it I can or if I want subtle I can have that as well. I had a Strymon Flint and thought it was just okay. Now I have this Keeley Caverns v2 and a JHS Tidewater Tremolo and I’m much happier than I was using the Flint. I use the spring on everything, the shimmer mostly clean and the modulated reverb is my go to with dirt. Then add the awesome tape delay on top and yup I’m in heaven. I’ve found you do need to take some time with the Caverns to find your sweet spots but it’s all there you just gotta tweak a little. No MIDI or presets are needed for me. Great pedal and a steal for $169 (which is what I paid for it on sale).
Hope you enjoy yours as much as I do.
Take care ✌🏻
Sounds really good. Your making me want one. Still want to save up for a Timeline tho
