We should all be so lucky as to be identified by the sound of a single note. Some players are so well defined that their entire musical journey can be heard in a single note they play. Tone is in the fingers. Tone is in the mind. Effects can be a great way of expressing emotions or creating textures. The Dark Side is about creating and adding different tones to your symphony. It’s in your tone. It’s about your tone. It’s above your tone. It’s metasymphonic. It’s the things you can’t create with your fingers or mind. All the textures that define an essence; in one pedal.

This guy is EXACTLY the right guy for every demo!!!!
Darn it Mike Hermans! So Good, SO GOOD!
You picked the right guy to demo this one Robert!! Nice job to you all!
Giggity!...
Dear mr keeley, thank you for designing and engineering this tone shaping masterpiece.I have one request, could you please make a hi watt 103 inspired pedal ? A pedal that can be used to boost and eq a blackface mid scooped amp into hi watt big clean territory ? Then the dark side would really shine. thank you for you consideration.
The Rotary speaker setting is to die for that comes right after the 3:33 mark. I think it's one of the most gorgeous demos of that sound I've heard Mike. Bravo man. Then you create another piece of unique magic at 4:42. Wow. I think I'm responsible for a few thousand of the video views... ;-)
Robert Keeley you share responsability with Mike for lots of views, great pedals into the hands of a great player! Fan of both of you guys. Have you thought of a Fripp inspired workstation? Would absolutelly love it!
Tell me what you'd like to see in a Fripp pedal. The team and I are huge Fripp fans. That would be a labor of love.
Big Muff/Foxxtone/Sustainer combo fuzz, some sort of Flanger/Filtering for Fripp's metallic sound on Bowie's Scary Monsters and Heroes, and SpaceEcho/Looping Delay to mimic Frippertronics.
KeeleyElectronics OMG! Thanks to organizedchaos I've just seen your answer. I can't believe I didn't see it sooner, sorry!!
I like what he suggests. I saw an interview with Visconti and he described how Fripp recorded Heroes... positioning himself on different points in front of the amp using feedback as his tone, genius!! Something that could emulate that would be amazing!! You could experiment with harmonizers, delay/loopers too
It's difficult to think in just one workstation cause Fripp has so many incredible sounds.
Thank you for making it. I've wanted one for two years and am just about to purchase mine finally.
I recently bought one and it is awesome... so much fun !
This is not a simple pedal, it is a workstation instead.
This demo is so cool... two thumbs up Mike!!
I have a great appreciation for your demos and this might be one of the very best. So much awesomeness going on here! Keeley + Hermans = Badassness.
Fantastic demo, fantastic playing Mike.
Got mine yesterday.
It is worth the cost for the fuzz alone it's that good:)
I worked so hard on fine tuning that About killed me. Very proud of where it stands now. Thanks Rick!
Hey, question-- if I had to record guitar directly through an interface, along with a few fedals like this one, a wah and an OD, would it sound good?
Or do I need to have a preamp pedal, cab sim?
Rohan Jangam
wah>OD>Darkside would be the way I would place them but try swapping the OD & Darkside around and experiment.
Good luck.
@@rickmolyneux9031 gotcha.
What I wanted to know was of this set up was enough to record directly with an interface or would I need additional cabinet simulations and preamp / ampsim?
Rohan Jangam
It’s ok with what you’ve got.
Guitar>wah>od>Darkside> interface.
Enjoy 🎸
The best review of this pedal I've seen to date I'll definitely save this thanks.
I LOVED the interpretation of Floyd's songs... really GOOOOOODDDDDD
Everything about this demo was great. Tons of capabilities with this pedal, and great aesthetics as well!
This guy blows my mind.
That's it. You and Andy MUST do a Pink Floyd tribute one day. Each of you are the best Gilmour enthusiasts I've seen... I'd love to see you guys together on this. Call it The PGSPF Show, call it what you like; it'd be awesome!
Great Video as Always, Mike Hermans. Exceptional Pedal by Robert and Crew.
It's the third time I'm listening to this demo today. Amazing!
Mike, this is gorgeous. Really gave this one your all. Gotta imagine this took longer than a day.
I don't know what inspiration you drew from, but the segment starting at 4:42 is just amazing. I call it Luke's Dream. What an amazing piece of music.
Robert Keeley just ordered this, the Caverns and 4 plus compressor. Can’t wait! Cheers brother!
Mr. Keeley does the insert on my V1 mean that I can run it 4CM with my amp's FX loop and/or split the two sides for use with a pro swither like a Bos ES-8 (like you can do with the Aria, D&M, DDR, DCR)?
Thanking in advance. I own so many Keeley pedals it's a running joke among my friends.
Great video, Mike!
Best demo of a fantastic pedal! And I’ve seen quite a few videos about this one, because I plan to buy one soon.
Best pedal ever, best review ever.
Robert Keeley was seen doing cartwheels after viewing this video. Awesome demo Mike!!!
You gotta get the pedal to Mike to see how to play your own effects. Yeah, cartwheels!
Do you mean Rlm Culuy?
+Alex McMillan I don't think I've ever spelled my name the same way twice! :-)
Well, thank Christ I now have some idea how to pronounce it!
Best demo video for Keeley Dark Side!
Mines under the Christmas tree as I write. Fantastic demo of what I’m sure will be an awesome workstation
That opening is beyond amazing!
Waow! That game and sound quality! So talented musician!
Dark Side of the Moon.. Yeah! Right stuff for the pedal and great rendition..
great demo Mike!
This pedal sounds great! Nice demo :) Cheers
Always love your demos Mike - was almost going to sell this but you just reminded me how damn good it is! (Well at least when you play it anyway..!)
Very cool take on Time!
Stunning.
Simply beautiful!
I need this in my life.
Brilliantly done...
Mike Hermans plays exceptionally well ! one of the best ever....anywhere....
You just sold me on this pedal. Thanks for this video!
Mike this is sacrilege lol :-) Saw Gilmour in TO last spring - it was a treat. Carry on - love your vids.
Great playing and nice Gilmour tones.
There are some great demos for the Keeley Darkside, but this one destroys it! It's so good! I love the reworking of the Dark Side Of The Moon tunes for just guitar. Rad!
Mike is absolutely THE BEST demo player!
This was awesome! You got that bend down pat! :From a die hard Gilmour fan
I wanted to buy the Super Mod Workstation to have all my modulation needs covered. Still VERY undecided! This box is soo tempting. To have "album-inspired" boxes is a clever idea: in fact many of us (if not all) started to play because we wanted to emulate our favourite tunes. Great playing!
So much more than just a `Pink Floyd in a box` pedal with the best sounding fuzz I`ve ever heard ...... and a superb demo.
Mark Knopfler and George Lynch use this for their sounds. I just got one and I've not been getting much sleep because I am messing around with it. I love this little work station.
Man, I loved that great gig in the sky sound, I'm gonna have to prioritize this pedal before a expensive amp! Gosh, man. Such a huge pink Floyd fan, also love Hendrix. I've been doubting between this pedal and the Monterey, but this demo... Man, it turned my head! Gonna buy this pedal, gonna play with it, gonna live with it and love it. Thankyou for making this awesome pedal, I'll let you guys know my thoughts on it when it arrives!!!! \m/
so what was your thoughts?? afetr all these years, what you think?
Nice arrangements.
Was on the fence on this and as an old man that is a feat. This sold me.
Pure unadulterated awesome!
Fucking incredible demo. Wasnt even sure I wanted this because I wasnt sure if I'd even use the amount effects but you made them all sound incredible. I have the price point to either get this or an empress equalizer and now I'm stuck
Man this thing does it all
Mark, you must put a band together and tour some of this material.
This Keeley is pure magic, and you are the magician.
Play on,
S.
That's a lot of tones in one box!
Brilliant.
You kick ass!!
That pedal sounded sweet and fun. Now to figure out how you pulled out those cool riffs. Very nice playing
There is a Hal Leonard Guitar play along: Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon instructional video only 19 dollars this covers the whole album. It's a good video.
I could have some fun with this 👍👍
Thank you for the demo! Love the tone with the Suhr strat. Which model do you have? Classic Pro or Antique. I'm looking into getting one!
It's the classic antique. Awesome guitar
Thank you Mike!
NIIIIIIIIIICE.
I will buy this just so I can play Great Gig in the Sky every single day.
Bought it because of the modulation effects, would buy it again just for its FUZZ!
all i can say is . WOW. killer pickin
Fantastic pedal and great demo!!! My only thought is that this pedal (with a bigger footprint) needs some memory banks as it has so many awesome effects as displayed here.
I think this pedal does so much more than clone PF tones.
Holy shit increíble
I have a 2 questions. I got the version 2 today and am sitting at work dying to go home and play it!!
first, can i use a ts insert to put effects between the 2 sides even on version 2?
second, what is the max delay time on the tape echo side?
Awesome pedal!!
very rich and silky Mr Herman
of what universe this monster came from?? HUUUUGE!! ORDERED!!
Alpha Oklahoma, in the Red Dirt Nebula. ;-)
Keeley Electronics it goes without suggestion. when you have a history of building phenomenal gear year after year. your imagination hits the soul of guitar and players with veracity and aclaimation beyond those around you. congratulation for placing the 80s in a box of rocks. so that we may enjoy being stoned yet again. without the need for rehab or subsequent interventions. unless it's not morally beneficial to play guitar as a life choice. who knows what the future. brings. I. believe I ll take my box of rocks with me to foil yet again modern drudgery of music. thanks Mr keel. take us out Robert and keep us sane in an otherwise boring existence
Hi Mike. Your playing on these demos is superb; you've sold me on several pedals. What pups do you have in your Suhr? SSS or HSS? Are your singles ML's. I have a Suhr Classic Antique and it's amazing. Thank you, Mike!
I have a question and I really need help. So I just got my Keeley Dark Side and im not sure if it came with a malfunction or not but ive been going through so many videos on this pedal and it seems like no one is having this problem. So when Im on the delay mode when i change to certain levels my pedal is like lagging or having a latency effect. Like when i play a string itll play it like 1 second late especially on LEVEL 4-5. Im not sure if this is part of the pedal or what but can you please let me know. Like do i send it back or what??
We're you able to get an answer or figure out what the issue was?
+Robert Keeley Other guitar pedal brands provide musicians tools that help us to express our inspiration. What we get from Robert Keeley is so much more than that. He gives us the inspiration itself. Playing a Keeley pedal is like being dumped by our woman or losing the ones closest to us. It feels like reliving our most sad and most joyful memories. And I'm talking about REAL inspiration, no fucking cheesy talk here. Shout out to Robert Keeley. We couldn't be more grateful.
Peter Kunert wow, thanks so much sir! I'm gonna have to cook for you at the house one day! 👍🏽
+Robert Keeley I'd be more than happy to join you for a meal and maybe some pedal testing as well. For an even stronger musical accompaniment I suggest the amazing Mike Hermans as a special guest, but only if he speaks a bit more than he does in his demos. Honestly, I've been in the game for 20 years, and in the past few years I haven't bought any gear without checking out Mike's review first. Thanks again, to both of you!
Ordered ;)
Thanks AH Father! ;-)
A great demo. I really like Time base ... couldn't you have it?
How are you syncing the trem to the drum track. Is there a tap tempo feature or could this be
done with a recording software like Studio One, maybe the X-Trem plugin. Thanks for the great demo, you do Gilmour better than Gilmour
Excellent demo..was this the only effects pedal being used.
Beautiful pedal but I could tell right off the bat that this is one of those intense "does it all" pedals that I can't imagine playing around with live. utilizing separate effects is a pain but in the long run it saves a bit of the head ache involved in incorporating a pedal like this in your chain. again it's a beautiful pedal.
It will fit nicely in a home studio though!
i love the fuzz section only. Where can i get a fuzz pedal that sounds like this?
Nice...
Mike!!!!!!!
Lo Siento...
Just too caught up in the music to even read or remember.
Ha!
..If this doesn't convince you to buy one there's no hope! Even my wife's impressed - no mention of the 'D' word..yet!
Kevin Bridger lol. the only use of d I know of is for tone use is that what your saying. dumble if I know
JED TAYLOR.. that's Divorce mate! She's been threatening it for years.. my new Strat may push her over the edge tho!
That's odd. But I ll look into it. Wait till u hit 20 Years.
Kevin, I m out of the chamber for that kind of talk. I support her and this is a matter of who cares for whom. Though I do not push the subject, I do from time to time. Offer her reward for allowing me reward. And the kids and the grandkids and the friends and so on. It truly is like they say when you take on a spouse, You must care for the world or be dismissed as a heathen and suffer the duration of it all.
Now if you ve been married for a great length of time. you have a full on understanding, If you ve had kids and their grown you surely understand all facets of a mutual relationship and how its is constructed, improved or if it applys uninproves after a period of error judgements from one or both.
The point really is that the satisfaction of gear must weigh into the satisfaction of the spouse from both sides of the realm But, in most cases, if you spend an exorbient amount for the gear time and time again in a short period of time. She ll eventually bite when you go to pet her. Now that's a crude and immoral way to express the subject but, in truth spouse s do know the hows and whys. And I anticipate that your relationship has enough of the stability factor that both of you have a full grasp of necessary focus and direction to whats going to be the solution to any given concern. Albeit if you take the time to make it a minor instead of a major enfraction of relationship code of ethics. Now this all may sound a bit obsurd, but, You ve seen the redundancys and the resolutions of all levels of disagrements by the first 6 years and the 7 year itch and the 10 year resolutions of life time commitments. After 10 years you will live in that relationship the rest of your natural life in one form or the other. especially if children or family is involved beyond spouse and spousett.
In my concerns I try to trade, to buy lesser cost perfect gear, or even make an effort to wait till that right time for acquisitions. I m sure you do the same in the many facets of gear. From picks to that once in a life time amp or that prime hand me down heirloom that will always be a conversation piece for generations to come no matter if its played traded or just left as a wall ornament till someone else comes along and the need is greater than the want.
Now believe it or not this is just an acknowledgement of the ideas that are generally ingested by all male guitarists and married, relationship and external necessities that come after the relationship evolves in to mutual fun and bun service. Enjoy your lack of rebuttal efforts from your spouse ultimately when the time is at an optimum for effect. You will open your eyes and your other necessities and divvy out the correct amount of reprisal and effectual praise and admonishment all in one moment. So if the guitar is nt an issue then hang on to if for a very long time and learn the art of trade and bargin. Or live in the dog house with your gear on those cold winter nights. Possibly burning the wood of the most of your gear to warm that 30 below open wind dog house.
Or give her a new car. is what I did to allow my own dignity to be elevated above the dog, after the dog bit me. I learned my place inside the dog house while dogy gets the bed, the heater and the best meals of the day.
But, I get gear. So we all can live life in harmony. Till I get the concerns of eyes upon my playing negated by spouse alarm systems. and doggy poo clean up detail.
Ah man, now I"m going to have to dump some more of my Boss pedals...
Una pasada de pedal,,,,,,,,
Hey Mike, Keeley Dark Side or Monterrey, which one ? Thx
Got me to sub your channel:)
Guitar God
Just a friendly reminder that gilmour was getting these tones in 1973 😮
Those string bends seem like effort. Are those heavy gauge strings?
YES --BUT............how about LIVE preset change?
That ain't workin', that's the way you do it
Play the guitar on the MTV
what's the difference between V1 and V2? also trying to decide between this and the super mod workstation?
VI = discontinued it had the insert function
V2 = still in production, has order witching toggle switch.
After I get one of these pedals,,,,I may find it hard to go to work. ( Heck, I need a break anyway)
So in theory, I could plug my Möbius into this and drop effects from that between the fuzz and mod.
Yes sir.
+Robert Keeley Thank you, sir. I've just ordered mine from Reverb. Can't wait to start the experiments.
Name of the song? 8:14
I'm working overtime to get this baby.... Its my destiny
I bought this pedal and it wasn't cheap...HAD IT CAME WITH a booklet showing the position settings for different Pink Floyd sounds then it would have hit the SPECTACULAR!!! mark...now if had a shown a few of the basic sound settings it would have went a long way in helping to NAVIGATE this piece of equipment...as it is its complicated to JUST FIGURE IT OUT....so it missed a huge opportunity for the learning the pedals potential aspect which would help you ENJOY the pedal instead of getting FRUSTRATED with it....
Amazing pedal. As expansive as the tonal options seem to be (and notwithstading the PF nod), would be awesome to have more than one fuzz circuit in there - a fuzz face and a tone bender maybe.
It pairs with our FF Monterey! ;-)
Touché Mr Keeley
Reggae Floyd :)
Almost like I was listening to Dread Zeppelin, we just need an Elvis voice!
i remember that cat!
I would buy this if it was $100 less expensive.
I think my Dark Side is broken. I sound nothing like this. Gotta be the pedal...I'm sure of it
Been thinking of ditching my TC Electronics Flashback and replacing it solely with this. Anyone know if this could hold up as an everyday delay as well? I can see this as my go to pedal.
recycledcitizen yes using it as just fuzz and delay is great! The delay adds some kinda... something to it. In the best way tho. This is one of 4 pedals I'm using and honestly I could get away with just this and some reverb. Very cool and not at all just for psychedelia
The 4th playback head is the traditional sounding delay time does a cool snapback too
Fuzz sounds like a cheep distortion
Love the reggae flavor! Someone do a whole dark side reggae album... :-)
