"The Loomer is a ghost trap for the old but unforgotten spheres that also young musicians still try to recreate. It's a unique workstation that serves monstrous fuzz distortion, nostalgic soundscapes and tipsy reverse delay sounds that are all inspired by some of the best effect racks of the late 80s and early 90s! I tried myself to recreate the sound of Slowdive, Cocteau Twins, My Bloody Valentine and Ringo Deathstarr. And I was surprised how close I got with my small home gear."

Hey guys, welcome to the SHOEGAZER Channel once again. IT'S GIVEAWAY TIME! In this video I demoed some short shoegaze songs on the LOOMER workstation by Keeley Electronics. I also give a short tutorial to "Soon" by My Bloody Valentine. You'll find the tuning and the chords in the Discription. The sounds on the Loomer are inspired by some of the best effect racks of the late 80s and early 90s! I tried myself to recreate the sound of Slowdive, Cocteau Twins, My Bloody Valentine and Ringo Deathstarr. And I was surprised how close I got with my small home gear. I hope you enjoy this!
SHOEGAZER I want that pedal, sounds AMAZING!
Hi, Kenneth. I've been following your channel for about two years, and I've learnt interesting hacks. I'm so into Shoegaze and Dream Pop. Once I've seen a pedal by Noisemaker Effects, a MBV tribute, but I'm so into this «Loomer». I'm so into Scott Cortez and his projects, so as lovesliescrushing, Astrobrite and Polykroma. I've never listened to any band more inspiring than lovesliescrushing.
I'd feel really pleased when I win this giveaway.
Thank you.
Who won?
Can u Send me some Pedals im so broke and live and love the shoegaze
is it too late to join the giveaway?
But can it DUT DUT DUT DUT VREEEE VROOOW
I can hear the song playing in my head now.
No complaints here.
I want this pedal because My Bloody Valentine is the first band my wife and I bonded over. We were dating and I put on Isn't Anything in the car and everything from that moment on just clicked for us. We began to talk about our lives and how shoe gaze soundtracked nearly every important moment up until our meeting each other. I'd love to use this pedal to easily get the MBV sound and learn "Lose My Breath" for her. It would blow her away on our 12th anniversary. I can come close with my Boss Katana, but this thing is absolutely perfect!
Did you do it? ^____^
that's beautiful man
Giveaways will be so fine and then BOOM “posted 2 years ago”
So sorry for that.
I just wish my guitar to sound like wooOOOAAH wuuuuschhhh woooOOOOAAAH wuuusschhh kkkrrrtkkttkksshchhh
Nice demo
Seems like 99%of RUclips pedal people are ‘’jamming’’ with tired blues or metal ‘’licks’’
Wish I could afford this one,
Saw the Loveless tour-ears are still recovering.
i know right lol i wanna see some power chords with the pedals in the demos
I would like to have this pedal so I can sound like a hoover a bit more
I basically started playing guitar seriously after seeing your channel. It made me interested in pedals and one year later i got my own pedalboard and i started a shoegaze band of my own pretty much because of you. Id put the loomer to good use by writing fuzzy tunes and playing MVB songs thanks to your tutorials! cheers!!! xo
This channel is awesome! I'm glad your also a listener of My Bloody Valentine. Your playing is very accurate by the sound of the bands your covering. I'm excited to hear what your other videos have playing and the sounds your able to make. Thank for this Shoegaze channel!
Great video ! I have no idea this kind of fuzz/reverb pedal in a box existed before watching this so thanks I lot, so I guess I need this now ahah.
i really love the clean sound, it's amazing
Gotta have this. Some of the best fuzz and reverb I've heard... and both in ONE FRIGGIN BOX! Btw that feather is a nice touch
Finally a channel with a Shoegazer that actually seems to explain how stuff works and is not about the noise for the sake of it. As for the pedal, and oh Lord I want it so badly, it can sound so good for many styles, not only Shoegaze, especially the fuzz can blend so well in the sound as a thick distortion. If I get that pedal, I can finally record my music by having the best texture sound I've seen in a pedal and use it for lead as I bet it can sound be versatile than most demos from this pedal, as of course they focus on the MBV part of it.
I've been looking for my "Cocteau Twins in a box" pedal for years...this looks to be it! Also, the only fuzz tone I have heard that I actually really like. Thank you Robert!
have you found anything man
I have been waiting for this video since seeing other RUclips demos. I knew the pedal in your hands would be the true test of what I am looking for this pedal to be able to do! Bravo!
This is it. This is the sound that's been in my head all these years, all in a single pedal. The modulating reverb on this thing sounds heavenly on its own, but hearing it paired with that fuzz really nails down that shoegaze sound. Kudos for making such a great demo video, and kudos to Keeley for making such a fantastic sounding pedal.
Awesome to see that a company like Keeley supports smaller channels like yours and not just the big gear reviewers. Your video quality doesn't fall behind theirs and it is great that Keeley recognizes that. Now to the Loomer: The second I heard that reverb sound, I fell in love with the pedal. The fuzz sounds amazing aswell. I need to get this one.
Just found your channel, Im loving the content! I'm still figuring out what direction I want to take my music in and the loomer has really ignited my curiosity. Keep up the great work man!
Wow. This pedal is exactly what I've been looking for. I would like it because I think it would really take my sound to the next level. I've been looking everywhere for a pedal to give me that massive, super thick, saturated sound of the old shoegaze bands and I think this is it. Thank you for making a great demo for this pedal!
That pedal is amazing! I've been listening to shoegaze for 20 years now, and it's all I know. Your videos have honestly taught me a lot on getting great tones. Would love this pedal! (I already purchased 3 others I've seen you use!)
Great video as always, Kenneth ! Been following your channel since 2016 and your videos inspired me to create my own pedalboard. I would like to see this pedal in my board as a symbol of this channel because this is where i started loving fuzzy noises and it would be great to have a Keeley Electronic Loomer as a first fuzz pedal!!
Thanks for doing such an awesome video/giveaway! Im obsessed with what you can do with this pedal. The reverse effect has always been my favorite sound mixed with that flat fuzz. I especially like that you can change the placement of the fuzz and reverb. I recently purchased the new Belle Epoch Deluxe and I think this loomer will pair extremely with it for ultimate shoegaze writing. The reason I'd like this pedal is for my lack of having any fuzz or ambient reverbs. Solid pedal and solid video!
Thankyou so much for this. Always wanted to learn it. Totally my era
Ich hab nach den ersten paar deiner Videos nach Reverse Reverb Pedalen zu gucken, nach fuzz, nach dem ganzen Ensemble was das Genre an Effekten ausmacht und bin dann tatsächlich iwann auf das loomer gestossen. Dass du das jetz vorstellst is n extra Leckerli! Super Channel kenneth. Freu mich jedes Mal ;)
Heard about this pedal a while ago, always been fascinated with it, when this vid popped up I couldn’t click faster lol, it was good to see you make a review on it! And.. I want this pedal as you can never have enough fuzz and reverb on a board!:)
Wow.. that Slowdive demo is gorgeous. Excellent work!
8:50 my good that is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard
If it is of some help, it sounds very much like the verse from Slowdive’s “catch the breeze”
This video popped up in my recommended section and it was like a gift from heaven. I love shoegaze and shoegaze tones but other guitar/pedal channels on youtube rarely touch on it, and if they do they don't really know what they're talking about. Really excited to see what you do in the future and I'm looking forward to you uploading more videos
FINALLY!A demo of this pedal by someone who knows how to "gaze"! This pedal is down right raw, sounds like each note is a wave of an ocean of fuzz! The reason i would like this is as i can't resist fuzz alone,never mind with a load of reverb sounds built in! Love that big reverby washy wall of fuzz sound!Keep the videos coming dude!
Hi Kenneth, thank you for running such an awesome channel and giving away this pedal. I would love to win this because I have a huge respect for Keeley and the quality of their effects, and this looks like such a fun pedal that I could get hours of fun out of! Thanks.
Just randomly came across this video and instantly fell in love with the pedal. Great demo as well. I believe that the loomer will open up a whole new world for my search for a good shoegaze tone. May the gaze be with you
This pedal is amazing, It would perfectly suite any shoegaze needs. Great tutorial of Soon as well.
I've wanted the loomer sonce it was announced. I don't even play Shoegaze but I can get a ridiculous amount of use from it since it combines two of my favorite sounds(huge reverb amd huge fuzz). Ur videos are awesome!!!!
Yeah this pedal is awesome. My girlfriend and I started listening and playing to shoe gaze together when we started dating and we are always looking for ways to easily get the show gaze sound. I love your channel man. We’ve learned a lot from you!
That Loomer is a beast of a pedal, so many textures in one single little box. Keeley always make great devices so its not a surprise this one sounds amazing. I'd love to have it beacuse it would inspire me to create some songs in so many different ways from what im doing right now.
I really like the sound of this pedal and how little peadlboard space it uses while doing so much at the same time!
Hi Shoegazer. I must admit I already bought a few products you showed here. I am in love with the soft focus patch sounds and fuzzy/muffy sounds as well. those sounds are inspirations and I would love one of these pedals. If I won this it would be used immediately on my recordings. Thanks for the content. Keep it up!
Love the channel and the sounds you are getting from this pedal!
Phenomenal vid! Shoegaze for days. When I first found your channel I was initially looking for chords but then your review of the reverse reverbs inspired me to pick up the Zoom to pair with my violet fuzz! From that point on I've been finding my way down the rabbit hole and am looking to experiment even more with these type of sounds. Want to do a stripped down Suuns meets MBV meets Title Fight project. I've watched third party reviews on the Loomer pedal and it just seems so awesome! Thanks for your channel & the great vids! Peace to everyone
Excellent! This would be a great addition to the new songs we are writing for our next album. Thanks for the demo and giveaway!
My Bloody Valentine gave me such an explosive adolescence, being everywhere to me, like a sound that embraces the universe. If I could win this "Loomer" pedal it would be the occasion, for me, to remember what shoegaze can do for the soul.
First and foremost, i came to check out you! I love all the videos you do and they're great for learning how to get a great shoegaze sound. The pedal seems great too!
It sounds amazing, love all the possibilities ! Cheers from France !
It is such an awesome pedal with loads of possibilities on it. The fuzz, reverb , filters, levels ,depth etc ,all sound so great. Who wouldn't want it?
Great review. Would love to try this out in the future!
I watch these videos so fast when you upload! A shoegaze guitar channel is genius. Ive been hoping you would demo this pedal so that's why I watched. I don't have any dirt pedals and this sounds amazing, the great reverse reverb is a plus too! Thank you
Great video! The sounds are crazy authentic! Heard alot about Keeley and when I saw they had a pedal called Loomer, I had to check it out! Glad to see you demo it!
The clean sound is totally amazing
Great video as always. Also great to see a company like Keeley supporting independent youtubers like yourself. I think the appeal of the pedal for me is how accurately it replicates rack based equipment, alleviating the need for a massive pedalboard and specialist and cumbersome (and possibly expensive) rackmount stuff to get an authentic MBV sound. I'd also really like to see how the fuzz section could work outside of a shoegaze context to see how truly versatile the pedal is.
A buddy of mine sent me the link to this video with the message "I think this is the pedal you've been dreaming about." Indeed it is! Thanks for the awesome demo of the Loomer.
I discovered this pedal by accident a couple months ago. Thought it was cool that it was named after an mbv song. Watched a lot of bad demos on it that didn't really sell me on the pedal till now. Your pedal reviews are the reason I decided to buy most of what I own. You really sold me on the digitech hardwire, zoom and now the loomer. I definetly need this on my pedalboard now. I just want to make VROOOM VROOOM sounds in my room to fill the void in my loveless soul.
Amazing pedal. Thanks for sharing.
Amazing pedal - great sounds and aesthetically pleasing to look at. I enjoy your vids and recommendations.. even bought the Zoom MS 70CDR because of your review. So keep up the good work and cheers!
This is a pedal I'd love to use. I was blown away by the toned you got out of it.
As a relatively young person, I got into shoegaze not thaaaaat long of a time ago, but my passion for it only keeps increasing as time passes! I always find myself struggling to go to bed late at night, just always looking for more bands to add to my playlist, always checking out videos of lives or also looking at your reviews of pedals. Being a person with not that much money on me, buying pedals is incredibly hard and I only have one so far, which I got from my dad some time ago. So even though I would so love to be able to actually create shoegaze music on my own, I simply cannot right now, and looking at your videos always gets me super inspired to try and go after them and just make some beautiful noise! I absolutely loves the sound of this pedal and would kill to have such a thing so I can finally properly play some of my favorite songs for the first time!
I love MBV and checked your demonstration because I watch all your videos
Thanks for the great demo! I remember hearing about the Keeley's Loomer pedal but this was the first time I got to check out a demo thus having this video pop up on my feed was perfect timing. Cocteau Twins have always been one of my favourite bands and I have been happy to rediscover the wonder that the amazing MBV's Only Shallow brings to my life thanks to your RUclips channel. Looking to release some new music after a long break and this pedal would be perfect!
Thanks for the video and the giveaway man! Id love to try the loomer out because ive never used a reverse reverb and judging by the video its almost a full shoegaze rig in a single box which is pretty amazing.
Hey shoegazer, love your channel and have been subscribed since the low budget pedalboard tutorial I believe. I've always loved my bloody valentine and you're probably the only person I've learned anything about how to properly play them (as well as others) from. I was also interested in the loomer for a long time before this video, but it was always out of my price range, and to be honest it would be the perfect thing for me, considering I love great fuzz tones and shoegaze tones, and don't have a guitar with a whammy bar (although getting one installed in my sg might be pretty cool)
. Keep making great videos!
This channel has inspired me more than you can know. Thank you
I very much enjoyed your demo of the Loomer, great job, you really nailed the MBV sound. I would love to have one in my pedal arsenal since I love the Loveless sound. First time I checked out this pedal was in 2017 and I was inspired by some discussion thread on a FB page about Shoegaze. I've been a longtime subscriber of your channel and T've never been disappointed by one of your videos.
The options you've demonstrated in this pedal, along with everything I've been reading about it lately feels like it will help me create the tone that has been in my head, and that other fuzz and reverb pedals I've tried have been unable to achieve. I've only been playing a few years and none of the songs I've written have been able to encapsulate the tone and emotion of the lyrics quite right. Maybe I'm chasing a dragon. Still, your music and videos inspire me to keep chasing after my tone and voice.
Hi Kenneth, big fan of the channel, your videos are a constant source of inspiration for me. The loomer looks amazing, it would be a great upgrade/addition to my zoom which I purchased last year because of your video. I am in a young dreampop band from the U.K. merging the pop hooks of bands like Alvvays & the muddy haze of bands like MBV. Thanks for your time, me & my friends look forward to seeing what you have in store next. Cheers.
I'm into shoegaze since I find that blend of noise and melody that is inherent to it very appealing.
Shoegaze frees my mind by being massive and detailed at the same time, both when listening to songs and making music by myself.
I really enjoy the latter, fumbling around for sounds and all that but there is one problem: as a student I am not able to afford a lot of pedals. So I would be glad to have one like the Loomer that enables me to be creative without the necessity of having a rack in my room filled with a lot of effects (which would be cool but isn't that realistic).
Finally I want to thank you for the videos you make since I really enjoy them
Recently got this pedal and was a bit mystified by it--your video helped me so much to point it in the right direction for fantastic sounds. Thanks!
That pedal sounds so amazing. I know this video is 2 years old, but I still need to get that pedal; priority one!
Thanks so much for sharing so much about the setup with so much detail!
I'm a big Kevin Shields fan, and this really does a nice job of capturing a lot of his tone. Keeley makes such awesome stuff, I'd love to add this to my board.
Great demo video! This is definitely the holy grail of pedals for me. I have been looking for something like the Loomer for a while and didn't think I'd ever find a pedal that would do the trick for me. Since I probably won't win, the Loomer will be the next pedal I buy.
Huge fan of the channel mate, keep up the amazing work! Id love this pedal because I’ve recently had to size down my pedalboard and one pedal that combines the two effects I use the most would be incredible!
Thanks for the great review. Need me some shoegaze inspiration for my pedalboard.
Excellent demo on the pedal! I wanted to check out your review of the pedal after watching your video on the zoom stomp box I got one for myself and the loomer would make a nice addition to my setup. Love the videos and keep up the good work!
Been using my cathedral for the reverse reverb but this pedal blows it away. Would love to get my hands on one because they're not around me. Both rack units in one are amazing! Thanks for giving us the chance and giving one away!
Dude, you are a one man My Bloody Valentine! You totally rocked Soon.
Love the pedal, all the sounds I need in one box!
I've always found youtmr channel very interesting and finding out that you were making a review on my dream pedal I knew i neeed it. And even more when you were giving it away. Keep up the good work... 👍
hey man, longtime subscriber here...awesome Loomer video! so I’m just now getting into playing the genre of Shoegaze (loved it for a while) and am building a pedalboard from nothing and it sounds like the Loomer would really help me on that quest for the Ultimate Shoegaze Sound!!
Badass pedal, that fuzz sounds great!
You are correct. I just bought a Alesis MidiVerb II and that is it. I'd love this, so I don't have a worry about taking my rack unit with me to shows!
as a future acoustic engineer i love how pedals become each time more and more versatile and small, also the reverb it's freaking awesome. My band it's exploring new grounds, we would love to have a pedal like that. Greetings from Chile
Thanks so much Kenneth! - I bought the Zoom MS-50 after watching your video on it... I’d love to have the Loomer because Reverb and Fuzz are my favorite effects and Keeley makes great pedals. Keep doing what you do!
Thanks for this great review! I would like this pedal because I've been watching Keeley Pedal reviews, and they create quality products. Also, I don't have many pedals and this particular pedal can really get me started in shoegaze music. I have played guitar for about 10 years but I never heard about the shoegaze sub-genre of rock until finding your channel. So thank you for exposing me to awesome music!
I’m happy you reviewed this as I’ve seen reviews of it before and I always wondered if you had done it as Your channels the best for shoegaze. I’d be very happy if I won this as it would be a very big step for my bands sound as none of us really have many pedals yet and it would improve it major! Excellent video x
It`s fritfully amazing
I was inspired to check this video out because I checked out your review on the Zoom Ms70cdr and I love that versatile lil guy. I need this pedal so I can play my lil newborn son blissful lullabies filled with walls of noise and fuzz!
Great Video, thank you! I once bought the Yamaha FX-500 because I heard that Slowdive were using the Soft Focus effect. I still love it and still use it. It would be great to have those reverb and fuzz effects combined in one stomp box. And it looks really beautiful by the way...
Love your videos! Been looking for a pedal that emulates the Soft Focus patch that Slowdive so famously used. I was massively blown away by how well the scooped fuzz sounded in your demo, definitely something I wanna try. Thanks for everything!
I want this pedal so baddddd. I have wanted to get more into shoegaze guitar, and i just recently ordered a ZOOM CDR pedal, thanks to your videos. The Loomer would be awesome for me because it would get me playing more shoegazey riffs. Great demo and video, keep it up!
I've been looking for a great sounding Fuzz pedal and this may just be it. Not only did I find this but I also learned about a new tuning style I'm going to try.
I love this pedal and i want it so bad. Because shoegaze is colouring my life and im very very exited that keeley make a pedal that is made for shoegazer it self. If i have this pedal im sure this pedal will be my no 1 weapon to make a shoegaze song with my band. And i hope to, shoegaze will be a big music in my country Indonesia :D thankyou for the video kenneth, especially iam very happy you play soon from my bloody valentine. I just realised i must tuned my guitar in my previous cover video :D Hehe God Bless you Kenneth! And God Bless Shoegaze!
Sounds amazing!
The list goes on for the quest of the best Swiss army knife shoegaze pedal, and with this video, as expected from your channel, this made my list. Totally grateful to have checked this one. Hats off to you Kenneth.
My favorite thing is that you can switch between the order of Fuzz and reverb. How rock'n is that in one pedal! I Want give away!!!! Thanks for the awesome channel!
To make Slow Crush even more fuzzy and reverby we need this pedal!
More pedals to haul to shows to support our hernias!!
I love u guys!
greetings from brazil. come to brazil!!!!
nando saab We hope to do so in 2019!
@@fernandosaab1005 WHAT THE HELL YOU'RE HERE YOU GUYS ARE LIKE EASILY MY FAVORITE NEW SHOEGAZE BAND
jelle wat staat er op uw board allemaal?
I'd like this pedal as I travel a lot meaning I thrive on gear that gives me a wide variety of tonal options in a more compact space. I know I could happily play with this and just a reverb/delay like the boss tera echo. This pedal first came to my attention when I saw someone play it on Instagram. Thanks for the quality content as usual.
Well, it's really hard to make a shoegaze band in Brazil, but well, this Loomer could help me a lot! MBV, and other shoegaze bands, like DIIV and Astrobrite, really changed the way how I see and listen to music, and really marked all my teenage years. I'm starting a band and sometimes me and the other guitar had some lack of effects, because of the high pricing, etc. Would be amazing have this gift from someone like you!
Great video, your channel is awesome!
It never hurts to have a new pedal I guess.
I never heard of this pedal before, clicked on the video mostly because I subscribed to your channel recently.
Ive been looking at this pedal for a while, the moment I heard Keeley was doing this pedal I was immediately interested as i did not expect Robert to be a fan of shoe gaze. love the sounds that it can create especially the envelope pitch bending feature. Loveless in a box
fancy seeing you here
Hey Kenneth! Man, I cannot say thank you enough for this amazing opportunity your giving us
I checked this pedal out because I have a small pedal collection and I'm always looking to expand and you always have great gear reviews and I came across this video because I watch damn near all your vids lol thanks for inspiring me to keep playing guitar
Great demo. I've been looking at this pedal for a hot minute because I've been thinking about recording a couple shoegaze EPs using only one multi effects pedal at a time. So exploring the limits of what could be squeezed out of this pedal and something like the EHX Holy Stain feels like the creative challenge I've been looking for to dive back into recording again.
