Wow Stefan! I'm blown away by the musical adventures you took me on with your playing in this video! Thanks for such an artistic, musical, and sonically entertaining look at the Octa Psi! 🥰🥰🥰
Means the world to me that you took time out of your day to write such a sweet comment, Robert. Thank you! You and your team made something magical here. Insanely fun pedal that just keeps inspiring 😊
@@thepedalzone He's definitely right about your playing in this demo. It was beautiful and definitely sold me on the pedal and inspired some ideas for me as well. Amazing job all around 🙂
Hope I enjoyed the demo? You just melted my face off with some of the best guitar sounds I’ve heard in my life for 20 straight minutes. Enjoyed is an understatement. Insane demo and awesome pedal I’m running to buy rn
Now, this is a pedal which can lead a player to play for hours before looking at the clock…😊. It actually excites my brain just watching the demos - is has to have a place in my pedal chain. Thanks to Keeley and team. Again.
Keeley & Co. have been killing it this year. There's so much packed into this pedal! Not to mention, detune is my favorite chorus sound. This may replace (or join) a whole mess of boxes on my board.
They are on a roll, that's for sure! It's incredible what you're getting for the money with this one. It's super feature packed, yet very intuitive to use. We got a pedal of the year contender on our hands here
Thanks @KeithShelley1 The chorus sound in the detune modes is really lush and so easy to dial in. You can set how far out of tune either voice is and it will remember it, even if you unplug and run off to a gig.
You are a genuinely great guitar player and you need to make an album! This is like the third time I have watched a pedal demo and been blown away by some of your riffs in it, which doesn't happen a lot for me with gear demos
Oh boy.... Honestly left kinda speechless here. I hope that a simple THANK YOU will suffice. Thank you for taking time out of your day to send such kind words and supportive vibes my way. Appreciate you 🥰
Robert very kindly and generously sent me one. It's a very usable and useful pedal. I'm away from home at the moment, but look forward to hooking up an expression pedal. The option to reverse effect order is a plus. And while it doesn't get discussed much, the gently-sloped enclosure, and the location of the footswitches near the front edge, makes for comfortable and easy control of the different momentary uses of the pedal. Not everything that has momentary functions offers that.
Got mine today, just wow. Keeley nailed it with this one. Your demo definitely got me to purchase yet another pedal 😂. But this one is my favorite of the year 🔥🔥🔥
Honored to hear that my demo inspired you to pick this beauty up. And I'm even more excited to hear that you're rating this pedal as highly as I am. Definitely a pedal of the year contender here 😊
As usual, you’re my favorite demo player on RUclips. I love where you take these! I get a lot of these types of effects with the Boss PS-6 Harmonist and MT-2 Metal Zone together, but the looks, build, and functionality are making me want to finally try out a new metal distortion and way to pitch shift 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Absolutely love your demo of this and some many others. Your style makes the use of these pedals often unique compared to others. Thanks. Ordered mine within minutes of the drop, before any demos, but the demos are making me so happy!
Thanks, buddy! I think your Keeley collection must be even more impressive than Robert's by now 😄 I'm sure you're gonna love this one. It's a ton of fun!
Happy you enjoyed the demo! Means a lot to me. This pedal won't do the same as the Synth-1, but it will definitely let you create some synth-like textures all of its own.
Every time I watch one of your new clips, I'm amazed by your ability to make each pedal shine at its best across different styles. How long does it usually take for you to get comfortable with it before filming a video?
Awwww, man! Thank you so much. Really means a lot to me 🥰 How long it takes for me to get comfortable with a device all depends on the complexity of it. For something like Octa Psi (where I'm fairly familiar with the concepts that make up the pedal) I dedicate a full work day solely to getting to know it and to get ideas for what kind of examples I would like to showcase. For more complex stuff like Meris for instance, I definitely set aside a couple of more days. But when I move into the recording phase, I still discover stuff along the way that inspires new ideas. So filming a pedal demo, at least for me, is a weird fluctuating process where the pieces slowly fall into place as I go along.
@thepedalzone I immd bought a Radius recently from your overview. No one else did it justice. Want this one now. Random question, are you Swedish or of Swedish ancestry?
Yeah, you can use the two sides individually or together as you please. So you can totally do whammy effects without the fuzz engaged if that's what you want. Happy you like the demo. Means a lot 🥰
@thepedalzone got the pedal in, how did you keep the whammy section so clean and tame? I tried the settings from that section but even with a clean amp it’s a mess on my side 😂
I had one of these when they first came out and returned it. Not because it sounded bad, but because it didn't exactly fit my style. Howeverrrrr, after listening to this demo again, I've grabbed another one and am going to take it back with me to SE Asia. Don't get rid of pedals there so easily there, so I'll be forced to actually use it :D
Perfect timing I'm in the market for a new fuzz and a whammy pedal, was considering HX effects but it's too big for me and i wouldn't use 90% of its pedals.This pedal fits like a glove
this actually competes beutifully with the triplegraph. If you want an FX loop the triplegraph is the way to go. But this has so much more octave control built in. Keeley made something great and unique here.
this is amazing because my preferred front of chain is pitch shifting, chorus and fuzz in that order, but I'm curious how close to fuzzy overdrive does this get, or is it always very distortion/fuzz territory?
The lowest gain is close to the very first dirt example I play when showing the Fuzz side. It can get slightly less gainy than that, but don't expect low-gain drives from this beast. It is definitely designed to breathe fire. Happy you liked the demo 😊
Super kind of you! Don't have any solo stuff out, besides what you hear here on the channel. But you're welcome to check out my old bands "Don't Come Looking For Us", "Sky Architects" and "Cloud Anthems"
pffft some guy programmed his to play a note perfect Stairway to Heaven by just touching the guitar. That is the cgi pedal but like dude said it is a beech to tweak on the fly
Hi Stefan, which one do you think sounds better, the octave section on this Keeley or the Hedra by Meris? I know they are different kinds of pedals but what what are your thoughts on this comparison?
how big would it be? I was afraid to add another footswitch and jack the price up by $100. It has presets in the sense that it will remember any of your 8 dual mode pan settings. So if you set the lower octave to be much louder than the upper octave in Dual OCT mode, it will remember it even after powering off. In a sense there are 18 presets on the Octave side of things. (18 places where it will remember your Blend control panned settings (anywhere there are red and white marked intervals on the pitch matrix)).
@RobertKeeleyTV I just watched your demo on Sweetwater where you covered this, and was way more in depth as far as the features and Easter Eggs go! The fact that this thing remembers the octave setting and blends is an absolute game changer! Currently I use two pedals (Boss Super Shifter & EQD Data Corrupter) to achieve this type of sound. Really hard to find a good octaver, but you guys killed it!
i am mixed on this. video. i think this might be the pedal of the year! but, you kind of made me reconsider that: sy-1. any octaver, pitch-shifter, a capo ... ? also, dream-pop needs more lilt. after all, your "shoegaze" is not even cool/epic as sadness. that recent pedal that spits the frequencies ... paired with this ... ???
Bro if you don't already have a band, do it. Even if it's just instrumental, the world needs it
Especially if it’s instrumental!
Great idea
Please do!
I know bro, Im trying but im too busy making money. Maybe next year, maybe
This demo is my favorite band
Ha! What an epic comment. Thank you so much for the awesome support and for making me smile 😊🥰
Great demo, finally someone who plays different.. had enough of the same boring use of fuzz. This pedal is amazing
Awwww! Thank you 🥰
Wow Stefan! I'm blown away by the musical adventures you took me on with your playing in this video! Thanks for such an artistic, musical, and sonically entertaining look at the Octa Psi! 🥰🥰🥰

Holy shit this might be it
Heck yeah! Definitely check it out. It’s so badass 🤘
Yeah there haven't been a lot of pedals that I instantly was onboard with for the last few years. This one seems legit
Had the same exact reaction. Yeah, this is just an amazing pedal on a lot of levels.
Hope I enjoyed the demo? You just melted my face off with some of the best guitar sounds I’ve heard in my life for 20 straight minutes. Enjoyed is an understatement. Insane demo and awesome pedal I’m running to buy rn
Gosh! Blown away by your sweet comment. Thank you so much. Made my day 🥰🥰🥰
Aww! Thanks @lucidlucas Stefan did such an wonderful job of showing off the Octa Psi. Just Brilliant.
Felt like I just listened to an experimental band’s discography. Love the demo! 🤘🏽🔥
Now, this is a pedal which can lead a player to play for hours before looking at the clock…😊. It actually excites my brain just watching the demos - is has to have a place in my pedal chain. Thanks to Keeley and team. Again.
Awesome to hear you're excited. There's a lot to be excited about with Octa Psi. Hope you get to try it soon :)

NOPE
I can't imagine a more musical demo of this pedal than yours, Stefan. You're the boss dude! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Man! Thank you SO MUCH 🥰

Yeah, they nailed it! It's super rad!
SLUDGE MACHINE
This pedal is perfect
YAAAAASSSS!!!! 🤘🔥 It’s epic. So happy you like it 😊
Holy shit. Keeley absolutely won the year with this pedal. Stellar playing, these riffs went HARD.
It's a definite pedal of the year contender. Just so good! And thank you for the kind words about my demo. Warms my heart 🥰
This is absolutely crazy! I loved it🎉❤ robert keeley and the team is probably my favorite pedal designers in the biz!
It's such a cool pedal. Really happy you like it. The Keeley gang definitely knocked it out of the park with this one
This pedal is insane. They really thought of everything. I'm making a purchase tonight
Yeah, it's wild! I'm sure you're gonna love it :)
Wow. Quite a versatile pedal. Your playing and use of the pedal was super creative on this one!
Thanks, man! Happy you liked the demo and the pedal 😊
Best pedal demo ive heard in ages. Thank you. Amazing pedal. Just ordered one.
Deeply humbled and honored by your kindness. Thank you ❤️

One of the coolest new pedals I’ve seen in a while. Killer demo!
Happy you like it! It's such a rad pedal. And thank you for the kind words about my demo. Means a lot! 🥰
Awesome riffs and tones wow
Awww, man! Thank you SO MUCH 😊
Another great demo!
This pedal is very cool!
Lots of cool sounds in that box!
Thanks, man! Happy you like the pedal. It's killer!
This pedal is absolutely amazing. So well designed and the sounds are SUPERB. Robert Keeley is a treasure and must be protected at all costs. ❤ 🎸🎹🎛️
I agree 100% 🤘
I think this is one of the pedals that is inspiring.
Oh yeah! It's super inspiring to play :)
😍😍😍
That was really wonderful to listen to.
Thank you very very much! 🙏❤️
Absolutely killer demo Stefan!!! Of course I had to order one!!
Thanks, buddy! I think your Keeley collection must be even more impressive than Robert's by now 😄 I'm sure you're gonna love this one. It's a ton of fun!
@@thepedalzone I do have a few laying around...😀
The boys in and so I watch you from afar need this thing
YES! It's practically made for them
You aced this video. New pedal inbound, bringing such a smile 😊
Woohooo! Thank you ❤️
Bringing Smiles = Mission Accomplished! Thanks so much Alec Bourne!
The detune, the 2 sides, the whammy momentary … wow this is great
Yeah, the feature set is amazing. Insanely versatile yet very intuitive to use
i was going to buy keeley synth i will wait for this one to arrive to south america, thanks for the review , great playing
Happy you enjoyed the demo! Means a lot to me. This pedal won't do the same as the Synth-1, but it will definitely let you create some synth-like textures all of its own.
Excellent as always!! ❤

Goddamn I love your channel!
Dude! Thank you. Means the world ❤️❤️❤️
@thepedalzone I immd bought a Radius recently from your overview. No one else did it justice. Want this one now. Random question, are you Swedish or of Swedish ancestry?
sick playing
Thanks, man! Really kind of you :)
Damn! Does the Whammy work on it's own? That would be fantastic!
Great demo, as always!
Yeah, you can use the two sides individually or together as you please. So you can totally do whammy effects without the fuzz engaged if that's what you want. Happy you like the demo. Means a lot 🥰
I'm really surprised that you can use the effects separately! So useful but often not designed this way
Yeah, it’s really handy!
pedal so nice im watching this twice
annnnnddd order placed. :)
Haha! Awesome 😅🥰
awww thanks! I'm on my second watch too!
@thepedalzone got the pedal in, how did you keep the whammy section so clean and tame? I tried the settings from that section but even with a clean amp it’s a mess on my side 😂
Oh god ! He's at it again.
🥰🥰🥰
Great video, Stefan!
Thanks, buddy! Means a lot ❤️
I LOVE IT!!!
YAY!! 🥰
im in love
It's a pedal that's very easy to love. Just so good! 🥰

Yes! 😏
Tocas muy bien👌 lo que tocaste en el ejemplo shoegaze ¿es una canción tuya ?
This is INSANELY FREAKING COOL 😎 Damn what a video.
Man! Thank you so much 🥰
Kickass!
Heck yeah!
Nice pedal, your riffs are inspiring. I’d like to hear how the tracking on the pitch section on bass.
Thanks, man! Really kind of you 🥰🥰🥰
Perfect timing I'm in the market for a new fuzz and a whammy pedal, was considering HX effects but it's too big for me and i wouldn't use 90% of its pedals.This pedal fits like a glove
Well talk about kismet! Sounds like you and Octa Psi are destined to wreck havoc together 😊
this actually competes beutifully with the triplegraph. If you want an FX loop the triplegraph is the way to go. But this has so much more octave control built in. Keeley made something great and unique here.
Super cool :)
Happy you like it 😊🤘
Wow !
Stoked you like it 😊
Your shoegaze riff and tone is awesome! Really great, any recommendations for bands you're channeling with that riff/tone?
Yo dude what tuning are you in? It's so beautiful!
I’m in DADGAD throughout the entire demo. And thank you so much! Means a lot to me that you enjoyed the tones and tunes ❤️
New sub. Great channel! Can this be used for drop tuning? And is there much latency?
this is amazing because my preferred front of chain is pitch shifting, chorus and fuzz in that order, but I'm curious how close to fuzzy overdrive does this get, or is it always very distortion/fuzz territory?
The lowest gain is close to the very first dirt example I play when showing the Fuzz side. It can get slightly less gainy than that, but don't expect low-gain drives from this beast. It is definitely designed to breathe fire. Happy you liked the demo 😊
Do you have music on any streaming platform? You never miss on the demos, I need more!
Super kind of you! Don't have any solo stuff out, besides what you hear here on the channel. But you're welcome to check out my old bands "Don't Come Looking For Us", "Sky Architects" and "Cloud Anthems"
Epic riffage
Thank you! Appreciate it! 🥰
Could you do a demo of the Blackstone Appliances MOSFet overdrive? It's a really cool pedal, and I want to hear what you could do with it.
ain't that a great pedal?! I've been inspired by that pedal and the concept for over 20 years.
Very cool but my C4 will do the same thing with more tweakabikity in a smaller footprint.
Hands on controls on the C4 kinda suck though.
pffft some guy programmed his to play a note perfect Stairway to Heaven by just touching the guitar. That is the cgi pedal but like dude said it is a beech to tweak on the fly
Epic
Thank you ❤️
Hi Stefan, which one do you think sounds better, the octave section on this Keeley or the Hedra by Meris? I know they are different kinds of pedals but what what are your thoughts on this comparison?
sounds like an analog transistor circuit for the fuzz section - what are the specs on the digital/pitch section?
Low octave is so important but so difficult to dial in.
Foxrox Octron is the best one, or the original Boss OC-2.
What tuning are you using in these demos?
DADGAD 😊
What geetar are you using? I need one!!!
naice
Cheers! 🥰
Du spiller for RÅT !
Taaaaaak ❤️❤️❤️
If the pedal had midi, it would have been more out of this world than it already is..... Strymon Keely collab?
I've got one question, does it Bass ?
Does it handle bass or will it make your guitar sound like a bass?
@@thepedalzoneHow well does it track notes from a bass? I’m curious, too.
So is it available?
Yes 😊👍
He’s doing another demo…no no no…hide the wallet!
😅😂🤣

YES
Honored to hear it made you think of HUM ❤️🤘
Is this pedal useful?really.
Definitely useful to me :)
