This is such a good pedal to pair up with the Eccos. It’s a deep, immersive stereo reverb and vibe that I really fell in love with! Great pedal!

Peace & Love
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.
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
The Eccos and the Omni is also a great combo!
i hope youre doing well!
@@jpsatre I am doing much better, it sure was life changing...
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.
The smile that he couldn't contain when he started playing the vibrato with the shimmer plate convinced me to buy one.
Stunning reverb sounds, on par with my Axe FX III. That shimmer is just right too, not overbearing or overly bright but totally epic.
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!
14:59 “it’s gonna sound weird in your ears.” Lol one of the reasons I bought this beauty of a pedal! looking forward to experimenting further with it on my stereo rig!
Thanks for the rocking demo, Rabea! And thanks Robert Keeley for the rocking pedal!
Those smiles just sold a lot of pedals.. You sir, have tone. Thanks for your insights.
You're a great guitarist Rabea
Good overview.Thank you!
Excellent detailed review. Thank you Rabea
Great review, really sweet playing. Excellent.
Rabea. Your aggressive playing is brutally awesome, and your ambient playing is so good too. Thanks for the great vids...💚🎸
that STRAT!!! man nice to see it back
Great musical demo!
Yes please, do a combo video.... would love to hear that - exceptional playing sir!!
Robert, get well soon💜🤘
I'm doing great sir! Thanks!
Just got mine too! Love it! Great demo video btw! Cheers from Cali!
Love these videos bro
Rabeas playing never ceases to amaze me. Came here to watch a pedal review and had myself looping the intro play
Rabea, these demos of yours are not short, but they are so worthwhile. Very nice job.
THE BEST DEMOS IVE EVER HEARD ALL COME FROM THIS CHANNEL! MY IDOL
Stellar review and demo, Bea! Your knowledge of pedals and tone is just out of this world. One of the best guitarists and guitar-related creators on this platform 🤘🏻
Stunning as always man, you're playing, explanations, just top notch. I think my Hydra is coming tomorrow! Keeley is such a great guy and makes such musical stuff. This new platform is so alive and 3d sounding. Unlike any dsp I've heard. 🍻
Rabea, thank you once again for a phenomenal review. I got an Eccos the other month and whilst I always subtly knew I'd end up with a Hydra, this sealed the deal for me. Epic stuff!
One of the best reverb pedals out there....sounded 👍
Really cool 😊
Fantastic playing; phrasing.
Absolutely stunning, love it..... I've never done this before but I've ordered one of these just off the back of your review Rabea.
I’ve got myself an ECCOS as well now.... OMG what fun😃😃
This would have been cool as "just" a reverb ..... Then the tremolo kicks in! WOW! A nicely thought out (and very usable pedal.) This one will sit next to my Keeley 4 knob comp.
Sounds amazing bea. Love that tone. Happy Friday man.
Fantastic pedal
This guy's excellent playing showcases the magnificience of the Keeley Hydra !
fantastic demo bro loved it cheers from oz
Listening with head phones ,, great stereo effects 👍👍
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.
Sounds absolutely amazing. I would love a video lesson on some ambient guitar chords!
Doesn’t matter what pedal , just a pleasure to sit and listen to you 👍
I don't think you were trying to do this, but that intro reminded me of Can't Help Falling In Love With You by Elvis Presley.
Was just about to comment this. :D
Thanks Rabea for making me feel good about having bought one of those Hydras. I was thinking about getting the Strymon Flint or the Bluesky and pair it with my Supro Trem last weekend, then this one came along with such perfect timming that now I don´t know what I´m gonna do with the Supro once the Hydra arrives home, for now I can´t wait to compare them both.
I have to get me one. This thing just works!
That's a killer pedal. I have a Neunaber Immerse and a Supro Tremolo, so those sounds are my favorites. I may have to sell the other two and get this one pedal.
Damn, I was just thinking to myself "the world needs another reverb pedal"
Normally, I would agree with you but this unit sounds really good. Usually, all the units sound pretty much the same but this unit has caught my 👂
The stereo vibrato kinda makes it it's own thing tbh, it's a great reverb, but with that stereo vibrato set subtle, it just makes everything super wide and liquidy
My man Robert strikes again!!! His pedals are so good...love my 30ms and Comp. pedals.
I've been looking at the Flint, Mr. Black, and/or the Milkman Trem/Verb pedals...
This is probably gonna be the one.
I’ve looked at all those too. I love the tones and trem options on the flint but this thing’s tones are killer, I like vibrato and harmonic trem, and the stereo I/O and ez panning options with the push button knob + presets really do it for me. This things got everything
Also it’s hard find a good sounding spring in a multi-reverb
And good lord it’s single size
wtf is this sorcery
@@therewasascene And it only draws 115 mA - so no need for high voltage output on your power supply!
@@MagnusGuldbrandsen You mean higher amperage.
Keeley is killing it with these reverbs, I'm having a bear of a time trying to decide between the DDR and the Hydra. Seems like a good enough reason to go with both....wife is going to kill me
Figures that the reverb king would come from Oklahoma..
Almost sounds like a Univibe pedal with the sine and harmonic tremolo settings.
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
Amen on Keeley's health! Did not know that. Thank you. God bless him and you as well. I guess he is much better after two years! All about Jesus ...
Counter-clockwise? How deeply American of you! Beyond that, amazing demo. Really tempted to replace my Flint with one of these.
Great demo Bea!
How square wavey / struttery does the amplitude trem go at extreme depth setting?
Waiting for pedal companies to up their game and release Dolby Atmos pedals
Awesome video! Awesome little box! So many beautiful sounds. I got to get me one.
Just have a question rabea not pedal related but about locking tuners. Which locking tuners are there that are of high quality and maybe you prefer?
Great video, can you get a square
Wave chop on the tremolo?
WOW THIS SOUNDS GLOROIUS
BEA!!!!!!!!
Very nice. I wonder which pickups he stuck with in the end on the Strat.
All hail Hydra
@Bogey Man it had to be whispered!
Unrelated, what height do you like your strat pups? Just got a new am pro ii, trying to get them set right.
Rabea, PLEASE do a Hydra plus Eccos video!!!!
Beautiful. I'd imagine this pedal goes last on a board, right?
I think I just found a Flint killer. Been wanting to get a Flint for a very long time but never did for various reasons. Somehow I totally missed the Hydra but I think I prefer it.
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!
Dude what pickups and amp are you using? Sooooo good😊😊
Hey dude, any plans to talk us through your artist presets on helix 3.0?
id love to see you test out a jet pedals revelarion reverb 🙏🙏🙏 pleaaaaseee
Excellent review, how where you getting the shimmer? What tuning?
Hey dude. Just to let you know, the shimmer is the secondary function of plate reverb in the pedal.
Cheers ✌️
@@sebastianstigler1064 Cool might replace my Flint
Digitech Polara is a great reverb pedal too. 😉
Cool studio! Question about Hydra: Is the "Stereo Out" jack a tip/ring/sleeve, or is it the left side out?
2 jacks
thank you therewas
I ended up buying this pedal. It covers all the reverb/trem territory I need + the surprise bonus that the harmonic trem does a solid enough Uni-Vibe sound that I don’t feel the need to dream about the $400 Dry Bell Vibe
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.
A good comparison would be "Hydra Vs. Flint." Sounds like a Gojira film.
As a reverb junky, i have to say this is some of the best reverb tones i have ever seen out of a pedal. I had a Keeley Aurora, and this sounds similar, just on major steroids!
Totally agree. I may end up getting one of these.
damn what was that fuzz at around 19:15
where are the other two cables plugged into? FX loop?
If you own the Caverns would it be worth getting the hydra.
Hey, where is your scratch plate from? Cheers
He did a video on it. Search for it, I can't remember what it's called. Try strat as a keyword or new strat
Found it, type is this the end rabea
13:30 is a nice little dig.
İs there shimmer in this pedal?
kind of weird because normally you want tremelo before the amp and rev after ,so if you put the pedal before you are forced to set the amp pretty much clean .and if you put the pedal last I don't know how good may sound the tremolo .
How do I record stereo pedals in stereo to a DAW? I have a focusrite and a preamp
Use two inputs in your interface. The DAW should have an option for setting the inputs on a track to stereo (something like “Stereo: Inputs 1 & 2”).
@@flyondonnie9578 How Do I use that with a stereo pedal? what would my chain from my guitar to pedal to preamp to interface look like?
@@user-wv5gv3dw5u It's pretty much what @flyon Donnie said. guitar to pedal then two lines out to two different inputs on the Focusrite, in your DAW send one input to one channel then the other input to another channel, pan them L/R If your using an amp sim put it on each channel with slightly different EQs.
@@satch72 Awesome i'll try it out thanks!
Does it drip?
What´s the difference between this and Halo?
I’m not sure that I like too much of the swing from right to left side - back and forth, me no likey.
"It's gonna sound weird in your ears."
rabea if you cut away from your playing one more time i swear i will be a little upset
I can afford those cables ,and that's about it from all the stuff you play Rabea. It sucks,trust me..
second
haha :P
@@mrfing479 hahha xD
first.
I would love if the inclusion of, or use of shimmer was deemed a criminal offence.
i knew why i couldnt be arsed to watch it.... had to sit through adverts which was a complete turn off
Get a haircut
:P he looks cool with that afro , thumbs up if you agree?
@@StefanosAndritsios yeah you're Right!
No way! Rabeafro forever!
Get a life dude
Satch Looks was more cool with His bald head
