Welcome to ProGuitarShop and ToneReport.com.Today, Andy gets a look at the Dyno My Roto by Keeley Electronics. The Dyno My Roto pays tribute to the classic Dytronics CS-5 rack chorus. The CS-5 and Dyno My Roto both feature an impossibly lush studio-quality triple chorus effect that was used on countless records in the 1980s. This sound consists of a three-dimensional chorus tone that has yet to be replicated until now. The Dyno My Roto breaks new ground in the tri-chorus arena by adding a Texture knob, which changes the modulation waveform to sine wave, square wave or triangle wave and anything in between. The Dyno My Roto doesn't stop there, giving you two other modes to satisfy your inner tweaker. The Rotary mode gives you authentic rotating speaker sounds without having to schlep a Leslie cabinet everywhere, and the Texture control adds yet another dimension to the sound. In this mode, the Texture control adjusts the distance of the microphone from the cabinet in this virtual Leslie setup. Lower Texture settings give your tone room to breathe, with more open, roomier sounds while cranking the Texture approximates a tremolo with the microphone inches from the cabinet. The final mode is Rotoflange, which gives you a sweet-sounding flanger featuring a classic negative feedback sound for that "other" '80s modulation tone. Turning the Texture knob to the right introduces feedback, which increases the resonance and volatility of the flanger. Keeley has also included a Level control to combat any perceived volume loss. And like all Keeley pedals, the Dyno My Roto is made by Robert's team of minions right here in the USA.
This is so beautiful. Thanks Tone Report and PGS. See you guys in Portland this coming Thursday the 17th for the Celebration of Aaron Miller's Life.
The Rotary mode sounds so awesome!!!!! Congratulations Robert!
Robert Keeley is the rotary the same as on the super mod workstation?
Hope all is well Mr Keeley 🙂
@@RyanSmith-op8wh Thanks for asking! Wonderful in fact, playing guitar as this notification came thru! ;-)
@@RobertKeeleyTV High Five! That's great to hear! Around 2008, your modded Boss Blues Driver set me down a path of no return in the world of stomp boxes. Haha Thank you for setting the bar for a lot of the pedal manufacturers out there. You and yours produce very inspiring effects!
Wow! "Low Life" very rare tune well played Andy!
I overlooked this pedal for way too long. It’s now my go to chorus. Sounds amazing, so underrated.
That is A Great Chorus Sound. Very similar to the famous rack-chorus-units, used by many studio musicians in the 80's.
This + a seperate detuner pedal (PS6 or such) works wonders
Andy is the best at pedal demos on youtube. Thats the bottom line.
Cause stone cold said so?
Many thanks for still featuring The Police in your pedal demos! Low Life for the intro song for those who do not know.
Andy is like the Bob Ross of Guitar pedal demos
absolutely awesome- great Police gem!
THANK YOU! I've been waiting for a 3rd party demo/review! :)
Andy’s song demo selections are the best
Thanks so much!
loving the Wattplower. :)
I'm a huge fan of Keeley effects pedals but I have to say that I was a bit disappointed after I purchased this particular pedal. I mean it's on me, I bought it online and went off of You Tube demos to help make my decision. Why this pedal isn't stereo is a headscratcher considering the type of sounds you would expect from a Roto Vibe/Chorus type effect pedal. Also, I was surprised at how noisy it is. Maybe I got a lemon, but I wouldn't recommend this pedal if you'regoing for a Roto Vibe type sound. Having been kinda long winded, I'll still purchase Keeley effects because they really are great sounding and well made. I really do think I got a 🍋
I don't like the vibe setting at all. I didn't buy it for that, but I think it's bad. I honestly don't like the chorus as much either. Doesn't seem to play well with single coils, especially in a mix. When I hook a hum up to it I like it more. Gonna dry it on my bass rig, but I think I will ultimately sell it.
Nice take on Low Life by The Police, a great B-side.
When I heard the sounds come from this pedal I immediately thought of The Police. And Low Life is such a great song, one of my favorites.
Gotta... have... STEREO... please.
I'm really excited about this one. It seems that most people like the more warmer chorus (like the Keeley Seafoam), but this is the chorus for me. Cold. Like the Cars Heartbeat City!
And for all the haters of the 80s: just because legacy acts like Dylan (every 80s album except Oh Mercy) and the ex-Beatles struggled in the 80s, doesn't mean it was a crappy decade for music. Lot's of artists that started in the 80s or entered the decade with early in their careers were great. E.g. Prince, Pet Shop Boys, Simple Minds, U2, Madonna, and hip hop in general.
I'm not arguing that the 80s has to be everyone's cup of tea, but it was a pretty sharp break from the history of the classic rock era of the 60s and 70s. A ton of new avenues of music were suddenly being explored.
Very true - you left out The Cure and The Smiths, both very influential on today's music.
Not forgetting Depeche Mode, and also a bunch of Death Metal acts :D
if you judge a decade by its pop music, that decade is gonna suck no matter what
How do you not mention Rush
The birth of Indie.
Amazing decade for pop music.
i dont even use chorus or flange but would buy it just cause it looks cool
Sweet mike watt sig bass!!
Can you guys do a demo for that new Reverend Plower bass??? Sounds fantastic here but I've yet to see a competent demo of it for me to want to buy it
No, I cant have Andy reviewing the Watt Plower... cant afford it, right now!
is the overdrive that gets kicked on in this video before or after this pedal?
I just bought one of these I'll do a comparison between it and the real thing I have a Dyno my piano tri stereo chorus rack
I would love to see a stereo version. There's the Fulltone TERC but there's been quality control issues with it, and Mike at fulltone is a nightmare to deal with (I've had two professional studio owners with major label credits get shit from him when they need repairs because he blames everyone when his shit breaks) so being that there's a high chance I'll need repair and I don't want to deal with him, I'd skip the TERC.
There's Shiva's "The Wave" which actually sounds better than the TERC but it's rare and the maker is in Italy and it seems like it's close to impossible to find one in the states. I just want a great stereo version of the Tri Chorus.
There's no alternative to the TERC. If you understand why the original TSC was able to produce the tones it did, you'll realize it can't be reproduced in its glory in simple pedal format. The TERC is an actual reproduction, not a 'clone' or a copy or whatever. It's the only way to bring the TSC back to life in full stereo euphoria. There's a UAD plugin now, 4 years after this comment, but it falls short if you're comparing the two. It's great for what it is, if I had no comparison, I'd be pleased for the price.
"Satisfy your inner-tweaker" hahaha
I hear Princes purple rain, and a song by The pretenders.
Sounds great! Is this pedal digital?
This is great for a mono tone.
Does anybody else have a big tone drop of bass through this pedal? I have a brand new one from sweetwater and with my music man stingray, into a mesa boogie express, when I flip it on, it sucks the thickness and bottom out of the tone. Bummed because I love what it does.
💯 My experience. Not as bad with hums, but absolutely kills single coils.
Last tune (an Andy original, perhaps)?
I think the Chameleons may have used this from its sound. I'm getting one.
Nice name-drop of The Chameleons! I think that Dave might have used a Roland RE-501 chorus echo, which is basically a CE-1 chorus circuit. Massive Chameleons fan, btw. I’ve played several shows with Mark over the last 10 years.
reminds me of Rush
Looow liiiiifeee
stereo or mono?
DSP?
Andy is very skilled and does great demos. I'm always surprised by how thrilled people are by his prowess at imitating and suggest he's " the greatest". Perhaps he is but we won't know by hearing him in a copy band format.
There's only one cover in this demo as with most videos I make. The rest are all "on the spot" riffs and ideas. I've also never been in a cover band, wouldn't want to! Cheers,
Andy
@@ProGuitarShopDemos well the stuff you're playing from 4:35 is gorgeous
"...that has yet to be replicated until now." Fulltone TERC anyone? Nice sound.
Why the hell they didn't make this stereo btw? I can already see this being discontinued by the end of this year or they're coming up with mk II stereo version for the Winter Namm 2018.
because most of our customers are playing mono. A tempo tempo version may well be available from us in 2018 or 2019, but it will be more than $179. Since the TERC (amazing unit) isn't in stomp box form, we thought this was a fun idea, and it sounds amazing live.
@@RobertKeeleyTV Sounds great wet/dry ;)
i really love your distortion/overdrive tone, whats that? wampler?mxr?
What kind of bass is that? What brand? Anyone knows?
Pedro Gomes reverend mike watt signature.
So cool to watch his index fingers at 7:00
ROCKKEVINROCK!!! Yep great rt hand technique, unique.
does anyone know if this is true bypass? I'm looking to set up a really small pedalboard so I don't need or want a buffer (I have a gate, a plexi like drive, and am looking to get this and maybe a separate flanger unit because I want this for the chorus)
Yes, true-bypass.Thanks!
I like the idea of these in one pedal, it's just it's execution that worries me about buying one. I have use for all these effects, if I was to use one it'd probably be the rotary for that David gilmour lead, though I'd need to use another flange too. I've tried pedals that try to cover more than 1 effect, none of them were keepers. The only one I have that I use is a Boss CE2 WAZA, but that's a chorus and vibrato which is easy to do, I've converted chorus pedals myself to do it, you're just removing the dry signal from the chorus.
I had a couple Fulltone ChoralFlange. I really liked the flange on it, it's a pretty subtle flange, which I prefer, but if I need more flange it didn't really have it, for that I used a Homebrew flange, but not for long, it was too much, and WAY too big and took up like 3 pedals worth of real estate, I don't use flange enough to dedicate that much space. I found the ChoralFlange's chorus to be terrible sounding. ironically,I bought it because I had a digital multi chorus/flange pedal simulators on it and the ChoralFlange was one. I really liked it so I bought a real one. The ironic thing was that while it sounded good as a digital Sim, the real analog pedal sounded metallic and digital.
I'm using an EHX Electric Mistress now and I really like it, especially the freeze function that can give me a quasi "wah half cocked", or an out of phase type tone. but it's really big and while great for classic flange, it's missing something for more modern sounds. I was loaned a Toadworks Howard Leese Barracuda flange. that's my favorite so far. it's amazing in that it's really good subtle to hard flanger, but also tonally transparent in that it keeps they integrity of my guitar and amp. The issue with it is that's it's like $400+, and I can't see spending that much on an effect I don't use that much. I have an MXR M134 stereo analog chorus that I love in the effects loop. The dual tone stack let's me dial it in for both my Fender and Gibson guitars, as well as running into my Dumble ODS clone and Marshall Plexi clone (though that doesn't have a loop). Id still use the original Boss CE2 (not the WAZA) with it. I always used that into the front of the amp. it has either a mid bump, or slight volume bump, what it is if my amp is at the edge of breakup, it's enough to push it over the edge, the WAZA doesn't, and most flange give a volume drop.
I guess for$170 new I can give it a try, if it doesn't work, it doesn't work. again, I just don't seem to have luck with analog modulation pedals that try to cover more that one effect more than chorus/vibrato.
low life!!!! cooool
Stereo I/O ??? ...
edit: never mind.
I know the 1st song is The Police but its weird, stripped down to just the guitar part it sounds ALOT like "Lights" by Journey. Funny though, cause add arrangements and each band's own personal touch, and those songs sound nothing alike lol.
Name the intro song, pls
Low Life by The Police!
The level isn't a mix control? - Sounds beautiful, but needs a mix control..
xenod1066 that would be the depth knob.
Huey Louis 😅
*minions... 😂
A CHORUS OF MINIONS!
Why not make the other options footswitchable between???? Why the stupid switch? why do all pedals put multiple pedals in one but make you actually STOP PLAYING to change them?? useless!
It's to make a very affordable package. Since most people don't switch between Chorus, Rotary, and Flanger in one song, it proves to be practical. Another foot switch would add another $50 to $100 to the cost depending on what functions you wanted, like scrolling through 3-8 different effects and then a corresponding indicator system. Since I don't think you'd buy That package, I didn't design that one, but rather this one. RK
Robert Keeley I am hoping to get this one soon and hook it up to my Rhodes, Mr. Keeley!
Robert, I'd say you made a great affordable pedal. Since most people are not involved in the manufacturing process they have no idea what added features can do to the end costs. All about doing proper cost sheets to make sure you get proper profit margins and provide a great affordable price to the guitar end user. Bravo for the work you are doing.
Doug O thank you kind sir! I really try to make sure we push the price lower. It's competitive and it's fair to the public. I can sleep! 👍🏽👍🏽
*this is a cool pedal from the standpoint that for recording, its 3 in one, or you can make it function as a different effect on a different song (if you have time to switch that stuff without boring the audience, in a hardcore-type show in darkly lit dive-bars maybe not possible hah) But honestly, right now im not in a position to afford ANYTHING except food to eat hence my complaining, so dont mind me, but to be honest, i was really under the impression that having a simple second switch that just cycles between the 3, keeping the same settings, would only add maybe 10$ to price. No extra LED, only the function of what the switch is currently performing but in a rotating selection with a single extra footswitch. But thats my assumption that it would only be that simple as a know-nothing consumer, so i don't doubt that it could be a more expensive procedure because i really dont know anything about building pedals.
Not saying the same settings on one effect would necessarily sound good on another effect switching, but i was assuming, perhaps wrongly, that it would be a simple addition and at least negate the need to bend over for one of the functions.
I got one in...I also in a real Dyno my piano rack....this pedal sounds absolutely nothing like a Dyno my piano...totally forgettable...I played it less than 2 minutes...all you people out there that are really interested in getting the real thing do not let this thing cloud your opinion of what the real thing sounds like cuz this sounds like a toy and the other thing that sounds heavenly...if the Dyno my piano people were in biz they would sue to protect their reputation for crap like this and the way bigger joke by fulltone..."that 80s rack chorus". another insane piece of junk from fulltone where everything is supposedly exactly like the original but better however the stuff's not even close to the original Viet the eighties chorus rack or or the deja vibe... deja vibe is nowhere near a real univibe
looks like john suhr lost a bet!
This pedal encompasses all the tones I despise. Well.. I like rotary, sort of... The intro made me nauseous and I love the Police. Mod overload
ahahahaha
A little trebly sounding???
Better bass player than guitar
Came for a pedal demo but found a bunch of dudes fan girling over the band demo
Sounds cheap. Appriciate the effort on the demo. Cheers
Glad I didn't buy this one. I had my hand on the trigger when it came out and due to lack of a compelling demo I opted to wait until Andy or someone else demoed. Now that I hear it, I'm not hearing anything remotely that interesting for the 179-200 dollar price tag it bears.
Michael Allen if it comes with a chorus setting and a flange setting, wouldn’t that warrant a price of $200? Also what else are you looking for when getting a flange or chorus pedal? I’m asking for my own knowledge, I’m still learning.
Michael Allen Are your speakers on?
Don't take your wife, to the low life!!!
