To see the joy and pure happiness it brought everyone involved is just what life is all about. Also, to see Andy have the sounds he has heard in his head, be cast into one pedal with so much more, is just such a fine blessing and achievement realized🙏🌅✨
Same here. Bought mine as soon as I learned about it. It's amazing and having that sound with a Strat and a Lonestar Stereo preset on my QC is a lot of fun.
This is exactly what I've been wanting in a delay pedal for years! Thank you Keeley and Andy and everyone else that created this masterpiece! Take my money! 🤣
Mind-blowing! Sure, you can this dial it in with strymon, the Korg DL 8000 R but you have to tweek it to get to this sweet spot. But to have it in such a small footprint and with Andys experience what really works on stage this is an invaluable advantage.
Here is my review to Thomann. "Really great delay in a small size! Switching is very good.Sound quality is great. As a singer I find the switches too close, so I don't use it live as I kept accidentally hitting the wrong thing, but for most players it won't be an issue! I would have prefered the bottom LED's to be up a bit from my foot as you can't see them change until you take your foot away. But that being said, it's an awesome sounding pedal"
I got mine at Sweetwater guitarfest! It's always on. Love the sound. It even makes me sound good! Andy and Robert both signed it for me. They are great people. I enjoyed talking to you both! If anybody has a chance try this one out!
I've had it for 3 days and all I want to say is great great job. I couldn't be happier. The tails on the pedal are like nothing I've heard from another pedal.
Robert is my favorite in the pedal world ever since he modded my Sparkle Drive almost 20 years ago. His 30ms pedal is sleeper for sure. Can't wait to try this one.
I've had a DD-200, a Belle Epoch Deluxe, a Volante, and a DD-200 again, but i've never been this excited to get a delay pedal. I ordered this thing before i even got a minute into the first demo video. I am a combination of 'psyched' and 'super pumped.' / Holy crap-that's *without* reverb? Oh, brother. This is going to make me sound like 8 points better. // Ahnold voice: _It's not a revuhb._ I recognize that reference. Kindergarten Cop: _It's not a tumah._ That's gold, Andy- *_gold!_*
This is just perfect - a digital delay with "analog/tape" sounds, not overly complex, room for some presets, and.. Stereo! Nicely done!! I'm ordering one. It will be my first delay. I've been trying to decided which direction to go - Boss RE500, Future factory, Empress, but they all seem overly complex and much more than I need... When I saw the Sweetwater videos on this HALO, I was instantly sold.
I’ve used 2 delays my whole career. Usually one with a dotted 1/8th note and the other at a quarter note - and having to use a Boss EQ pedal to roll off the high end. I’m excited to have a pedal that does both (without being a L6 pedal). Great piece of kit. Plus, I have NO idea how you made it SO small. Kudos. 🙏
So what is the overdrive he is using at the 10:30- 10:45 mark? Absolutely beautiful. Can’t wait to receive my Halo this coming week. Also want to know what expression pedal Andy uses with the Halo. Hopefully someone can answer that for me!!!
This is the delay sound I’ve wanted forever. I don’t need 100 delay settings. Strymon Ice delay- who needs that sound? 99.9% of guitar player want 4 delay sounds max and amazing presets are the keys to the city. My Halo gets here Sunday and I can wait. Thanks for sharing your years of tone chasing with us. We are not worthy of this tone- but man am I excited to play this⚡️⚡️⚡️
It helps to be a phenomenal player! Really like Andy’s playing, plus Robert keeley is great, still waiting to get my hands on one of the supro keeley amps!
Got my Halo Pedal last week. Love it. One Question: is Andy used two Amps Left and right mic up on this video/recording? What amps and mics he used on this particular session? Just curious. Thanks Guys Hope to hear from u guys soon. Cheers 🍻🙏
Excellent video and great performance and explanation from both!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I have the Keeley Eccos Delay Looper and I really love it so much!!!!❤️❤️ In terms of sounds: How close or how different are the Eccos compare to the AT Halo Delay??? Can I get some similar tones??? Thanks!🙏🏻
How does this pedal compare to the Caverns? Is there a reason to have the Caverns as well on a pedalboard because it can achieve something that the Halo can't and vice-versa?
Yeah he said he was only using the dual delay on the Timeline and said it was bigger and packed with more than he needed. I’d say this Halo will replace the Timeline.
Just wondering.......I bought the Halo pedal and found the toggle switch to change banks only works every 4 to 6 times that you connect the pedal to power.I brought it back to store and exchanged for another.This pedal does the same thing.Am i missing something ? Or am I just having bad luck with 2 not working pedals?
It sounds great! But my Keeley 30ms pedal can do the ambience sound even better because I have full control over both the left and right signals in Pro mode. Then running that into a delay with even more traditional delay options, I feel I can get everything this pedal does and much more. And unfortunately, I can’t have this pedal replace my regular delay AND my 30ms, because it just doesn’t do everything. My 30ms isn’t going anywhere… it’s THAT good… but in a perfect world for me, I’d like to see some sort of mix between the HALO and ECCOS. Don’t want the Loop, but I REALLY would like a delay that is dedicated to stereo amp users so that every delay type makes full use of what stereo can do, including Ping Pong and similar effects. Oh, and a really good Ducking option that can be applied to ANY of the delay settings would make it an unbeatable winner in my book. I’m willing to let you use my name on the delay at a very reasonable price. :-)
I spend so much time screwing with my delay and reverb to to get the balance right. So annoying and frustrating. This feels like it might replace both.
QUESTION: When I'm in preset mode using the Halo preset why does the preset's sound change dramatically when I adjust the mix level? I'm turning the mix level down a bit and everything about the delay sound seems to change. What am I doing wrong?
I want this pedal, $300? do you accept kidneys, or send me a promo version. I'll make a song/video and promote the shit out of it. Sounds lovely. I want to see it's potential with alternate tunings in the unconventional.
It needs TOP JACKS, and I don't hear it sounding like an echoplex at all it sounds very digital and hifi not like using two echoplex units in stereo. To have all those jacks on the sides its going to be a mess on your pedal board they need to be TOP jacks to save space.
@@waynegram8907 might not be possible due to the size of the jacks, I haven’t seen it done while also having additional ports for expression and remote control. But since you don’t like the sounds nor the layout I guess this just isn’t for you.
@@Sperzel The HALO 100% doesn't sound like two tape echoplexes in stereo. It sounds just like any digital hi fi delay pedal nothing different and the side jacks is a mess. Make the enclosure a little bit bigger and use TRS stereo TOP jacks would have helped and use Blue tooth wireless MIDI port to control everything but since there is NO bluetooth TR you can't control on the controls, tap tempo. switches, etc so its a joke. More jacks = more problems of troubleshooting and intermittent failures on your pedaboard which they could of used Wireless MIDI port or a USB MIDI Port to connect to your switcher unit brain.
The problem is the sound is hifi/digi hard strident no matter what. People have normalized this and don’t even hear it anymore. Not warm. Like everyone normalized buzz in distortion. They can’t hear it. Watch the anger this opinion causes. What sounds good? The best Eric Johnson from the past and the best Joe B. Natural, warm, and open where you hear the guitar. No digi artifacts.
Wouldn’t you rather carry this around as appears to an echo plex? Especially as much as Andy gigs? Pretty sure it would be much more reliable. There is always a compromise.
@@corbeano I am experimenting with using the UAFX pedals with an EP3 preamp before or after to see if it warms the sound any. The EP3 is too unreliable.
All signature pedals should be like this. Have the artist play it and explain why the pedal was made and what did the artist want.
the way Robert looks at Andy - Priceless....this pedal is sooo good, cannot wait to have it!!!
To see the joy and pure happiness it brought everyone involved is just what life is all about. Also, to see Andy have the sounds he has heard in his head, be cast into one pedal with so much more, is just such a fine blessing and achievement realized🙏🌅✨
“When there is resonance with the people you’re with.” That resonance shows up in the pedal. Nice.
I have it on order! I’ve been chasing this sound got a long time- can’t believe it’s a preset! Thanks so much everyone
Same here

I play this everyday since it dropped.
Constantly inspiring, thank you… 🖤

My Halo was delivered today! Watching this video had me smiling all the way through. What a passion you have. Thanks Keeley :)
Easily one of the best delays I've heard. Great demo and interview.
I was waiting for this pedal for a long time.
Can't wait to get and play it

real OG's know about the dl8000r
Andy really is probably one of the best electric guitarists in the world , top three. And such a lovely fella too 😊
thanks, Mr. Keeley. the work you and your team do- well, it changes lives, and for the better. much love from the happy owner of Eccos, S/N 400.

I've had it for 3 days and all I want to say is great great job. I couldn't be happier. The tails on the pedal are like nothing I've heard from another pedal.
Such a great video. Like 3 guitar buds sitting around talking tone. So good!
Robert is my favorite in the pedal world ever since he modded my Sparkle Drive almost 20 years ago. His 30ms pedal is sleeper for sure. Can't wait to try this one.
I bought one immediately. I received it, plugged it in, played it…and immediately bought another one.
Best. Delay. Ever.
Love it! Perfect AT sound. Love the small footprint of the pedal as well!
wouwww ! KILLER Delay ! a real must have btw ! 😎🤟👌👌 very funny and cool presentation .... already ordered ! ;-)
Immediately sold! Saw this and ordered one directly at Thomann, where now a Thomann 70th Jubilee Version in white with knobs in blue is available.
Brilliant sounding pedal. It’s brilliant watching you guys roll with this
Fantastic! The mutual respect and brotherhood that comes across in this video is lovely to witness.
I just bought mine - thanks for getting together on a masterpiece!
Just purchased mine, I can’t wait! I’ve watched many videos on this and this is also a sound I’ve been chasing for a few years now! 💨
Does it work like a preamp pedal as well?
@@AnthonyEvans-wl5ts it’s a delay pedal, it works great as a delay pedal but isn’t a preamp
@@ruvchbrevth thanks mate, I appreciate you answering my question!
Robert's heart is a pedal of gold. Great video!

Amazing pedal! One thing I enjoy more than Andy's playing is his personality, Great guy
Love my Halo , it's my favorite pedal hands down
That sounds so magical and looks very practical
Truly love AT. You guys all rock!!
Love Kelley solutions!!!
Ohh just ordered one.. you all looked so happy that it says it all. Added a dunlop expression pedal. Great work 👍👏🙂
my God its full of stars keeley keeps knocking them out of the park hi Aaron Robert and Andy!
Beautious! Dig this pedal - even if I only ever use two or three sounds from the myriad available 😊❤.

Thanks Guys
Hope to hear from u guys soon.

“Be careful when you meet your heroes”
Except for Andy!
He is a super special Dude.
Brian May famously used 2 tape delay units, but they were set for longer delays.
Excellent video and great performance and explanation from both!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I have the Keeley Eccos Delay Looper and I really love it so much!!!!❤️❤️
In terms of sounds: How close or how different are the Eccos compare to the AT Halo Delay??? Can I get some similar tones??? Thanks!🙏🏻
Same question. I would really benefit from the ECCOS looper, but love the Andy Timmons options. Anyone?
Best delay pedal out there...
Hi Robert, this pedal sounds amazing, really well done. Does it have analogue dry through? I'm struggling to find that information anywhere.
wondering the same, but since it's not mentioned, I kinda doubt it. IF that's the case, the only negative.
@@joeschlicht I'm struggling to find it now but I do believe I saw some literature stating it is analogue dry through. Or perhaps it was another demo
Mega homerun by the whole Keeley team and Andy. The sounds, userfriendly and two presets per bank making 8 saveable presets. Tap input and CV.
Awesome!
Is the trails setting a good buffer,and is it analog dry through?
I’m very interested in this…I myself have used two delays for ages. A quick mono slap with a wide ping pong delay. So I would love to try this.
WOWEEE!!!
Now to hand one over to the edge
Which expression pedal does Andy use with the Halo?
Me at 9:58 when I found out about this pedal.
How does this pedal compare to the Caverns? Is there a reason to have the Caverns as well on a pedalboard because it can achieve something that the Halo can't and vice-versa?
Will Andy be replacing the Strymon Timeline with this one?
Yeah he said he was only using the dual delay on the Timeline and said it was bigger and packed with more than he needed. I’d say this Halo will replace the Timeline.
Nooo!, how could you do this to me, I need this pedal so bad!!! That Halo preset is the chariots of the gods!!!!!
I want one!! 🥲🥲🥲
Robert.. Can you mod this to make it midi?? Please..
Very good :)
Instant buy for me as soon as I got the email.
me as well!
@@JamesOrtonVideo Awesome! 🙂
Yummy. I gotta go get this
What can you do with the trs input?
Fuc here goes another 300.
Man so with this pedal I can ditch my reverb pedal?
