Great pedal! First one I've been tempted by in months! I see it's analog dry-through, which is excellent. But is that also the case with the tremolo circuit? I struggle to see how that is possible with trem, unless it is an analog trem
Dang, I bought the dark side (for the delay or phase/flange) and the dynatrem (using it for the reverb), I might want to switch for a new ECCOS/HYDRA + another fuzz setup in a while for added versatility and stereo and looper.
14:59 “it’s gonna sound weird in your ears.” Lol one of the reasons I bought this beauty of a pedal! looking forward to experimenting further with it on my stereo rig! Thanks for the rocking demo, Rabea! And thanks Robert Keeley for the rocking pedal!
Rabea, thank you once again for a phenomenal review. I got an Eccos the other month and whilst I always subtly knew I'd end up with a Hydra, this sealed the deal for me. Epic stuff!
I have this pedal and I’m currently writing a song and this is I’m using this as the introduction and goddamn it is amazing. It doesn’t really matter which tone or which option you use it is so beautiful. It is the epitome of beautiful. I think this is the most beautiful sounding Pedal. I’ve ever heard in my life and what we’re doing with this song is the introduction. There’s a guitar introduction, no drums obviously and it uses this. Of course I love the stereo mix. I’ve always loved stereo mixture, especially since I heard Hendrix when I was a kid and I could hear him pan His guitar parts from left right and then it just we build up into the rock part of the song this is I think one of the top three pedals ever and nothing against the like pawn fuzz pedal. Those are awesome. Any pedal that has Hendrix‘s tone is awesome but this Can lead into such a fucking great rock song you start off mellow and an arm and an angelic and then you just go gradually into the rock part and the song is is coming along so damn well this is I’m speechless. Actually, I am speechless. I also I’ve also got the dark side Keeley like from the Pink Floyd but this one is one special fucking pedal and I think one of thedefinitely one of the five best petals in the world by far and that’s a bold statement but I standby it my friend this is a it’s beyond special. It is the
Stunning as always man, you're playing, explanations, just top notch. I think my Hydra is coming tomorrow! Keeley is such a great guy and makes such musical stuff. This new platform is so alive and 3d sounding. Unlike any dsp I've heard. 🍻
Stellar review and demo, Bea! Your knowledge of pedals and tone is just out of this world. One of the best guitarists and guitar-related creators on this platform 🤘🏻
I am so glad to hear some players do solo guitar work with reverb and/or delay that is super ambient. This is a cool pedal. I still have my caverns reverb which I am so satisfied with. Actual physical pedals could be handy if you want to do a live gig, but some computer stuff could be used if you want too live if you have a pretty portable setup, I saw devin townsend use some great tones on a computer setup live.
Thanks Rabea for making me feel good about having bought one of those Hydras. I was thinking about getting the Strymon Flint or the Bluesky and pair it with my Supro Trem last weekend, then this one came along with such perfect timming that now I don´t know what I´m gonna do with the Supro once the Hydra arrives home, for now I can´t wait to compare them both.
This would have been cool as "just" a reverb ..... Then the tremolo kicks in! WOW! A nicely thought out (and very usable pedal.) This one will sit next to my Keeley 4 knob comp.
That's a killer pedal. I have a Neunaber Immerse and a Supro Tremolo, so those sounds are my favorites. I may have to sell the other two and get this one pedal.
The stereo vibrato kinda makes it it's own thing tbh, it's a great reverb, but with that stereo vibrato set subtle, it just makes everything super wide and liquidy
Keeley is killing it with these reverbs, I'm having a bear of a time trying to decide between the DDR and the Hydra. Seems like a good enough reason to go with both....wife is going to kill me
My man Robert strikes again!!! His pedals are so good...love my 30ms and Comp. pedals. I've been looking at the Flint, Mr. Black, and/or the Milkman Trem/Verb pedals... This is probably gonna be the one.
I’ve looked at all those too. I love the tones and trem options on the flint but this thing’s tones are killer, I like vibrato and harmonic trem, and the stereo I/O and ez panning options with the push button knob + presets really do it for me. This things got everything Also it’s hard find a good sounding spring in a multi-reverb And good lord it’s single size wtf is this sorcery
What super tones you pull out of that guitar. The Keeley wasn't bad either 😀 I think it sounds great, and you did a superduper review of it. Thanks! My only concern is that I would be spending too much time fiddling with the settings and all the possibilities available in the pedal. At least for my gigging pedal board I need my pedals to be set and go, so I can concentrate on my playing instead of bending down to adjust some setting, just because it invites me too. But you sure got me tempted to get one 😀 Cheers, Thor
I think I just found a Flint killer. Been wanting to get a Flint for a very long time but never did for various reasons. Somehow I totally missed the Hydra but I think I prefer it.
As a reverb junky, i have to say this is some of the best reverb tones i have ever seen out of a pedal. I had a Keeley Aurora, and this sounds similar, just on major steroids!
kind of weird because normally you want tremelo before the amp and rev after ,so if you put the pedal before you are forced to set the amp pretty much clean .and if you put the pedal last I don't know how good may sound the tremolo .
I ended up buying this pedal. It covers all the reverb/trem territory I need + the surprise bonus that the harmonic trem does a solid enough Uni-Vibe sound that I don’t feel the need to dream about the $400 Dry Bell Vibe
Looks like a lot of learning curve. I bought a "Flint" pedal that I was going to demo when this one came out and i missed the return window. We'll see. One feature on both is the above to control parameters with a pedal. A good comparison would be "Hydra Vs. Flint." Sounds like a Gojira film.
Hey! Can you please recommend me a better alternative to the hydra today? I'm kind of new to the pedal world But I think I need a stereo option. I'm looking for an effect pedal to use with my *digital piano* and hopefully future Synth, right now mainly with Piano and Rhodes sounds. I want to have a unique signature expression. I (aspire to) play mostly Jazz, funk, fusion stuff like Vulfpeck, Cory Wong, Scary Pockets and DOMi & JD Beck. This will be my first effect pedal/s I buy. Budget around 250$ but I can stretch a little. Any specific recommendations? Thank you!
@@user-wv5gv3dw5u It's pretty much what @flyon Donnie said. guitar to pedal then two lines out to two different inputs on the Focusrite, in your DAW send one input to one channel then the other input to another channel, pan them L/R If your using an amp sim put it on each channel with slightly different EQs.

I can't thank you enough for the review Rabea. You're so right, the combo of Eccos and Hydra is many, many hours of creative fun.
Great pedal! First one I've been tempted by in months! I see it's analog dry-through, which is excellent. But is that also the case with the tremolo circuit? I struggle to see how that is possible with trem, unless it is an analog trem
The Eccos and the Omni is also a great combo!
i hope youre doing well!

The smile that he couldn't contain when he started playing the vibrato with the shimmer plate convinced me to buy one.
Stunning reverb sounds, on par with my Axe FX III. That shimmer is just right too, not overbearing or overly bright but totally epic.
Those smiles just sold a lot of pedals.. You sir, have tone. Thanks for your insights.
You're a great guitarist Rabea

Thanks for the rocking demo, Rabea! And thanks Robert Keeley for the rocking pedal!
Rabea. Your aggressive playing is brutally awesome, and your ambient playing is so good too. Thanks for the great vids...💚🎸
THE BEST DEMOS IVE EVER HEARD ALL COME FROM THIS CHANNEL! MY IDOL
This guy's excellent playing showcases the magnificience of the Keeley Hydra !
Yes please, do a combo video.... would love to hear that - exceptional playing sir!!
Amen on Keeley's health! Did not know that. Thank you. God bless him and you as well. I guess he is much better after two years! All about Jesus ...
Rabea, thank you once again for a phenomenal review. I got an Eccos the other month and whilst I always subtly knew I'd end up with a Hydra, this sealed the deal for me. Epic stuff!
Rabeas playing never ceases to amaze me. Came here to watch a pedal review and had myself looping the intro play

Just got mine too! Love it! Great demo video btw! Cheers from Cali!
Doesn’t matter what pedal , just a pleasure to sit and listen to you 👍
Rabea, these demos of yours are not short, but they are so worthwhile. Very nice job.

Absolutely stunning, love it..... I've never done this before but I've ordered one of these just off the back of your review Rabea.
I’ve got myself an ECCOS as well now.... OMG what fun😃😃
Great musical demo!
Sounds absolutely amazing. I would love a video lesson on some ambient guitar chords!
Fantastic pedal
Fantastic playing; phrasing.
Robert, get well soon💜🤘
I'm doing great sir! Thanks!
Sounds amazing bea. Love that tone. Happy Friday man.
Listening with head phones ,, great stereo effects 👍👍
I don't think you were trying to do this, but that intro reminded me of Can't Help Falling In Love With You by Elvis Presley.
Was just about to comment this. :D
fantastic demo bro loved it cheers from oz
Damn, I was just thinking to myself "the world needs another reverb pedal"
Normally, I would agree with you but this unit sounds really good. Usually, all the units sound pretty much the same but this unit has caught my 👂
The stereo vibrato kinda makes it it's own thing tbh, it's a great reverb, but with that stereo vibrato set subtle, it just makes everything super wide and liquidy
I have to get me one. This thing just works!
Good overview.Thank you!

Figures that the reverb king would come from Oklahoma..

Counter-clockwise? How deeply American of you! Beyond that, amazing demo. Really tempted to replace my Flint with one of these.
Love these videos bro
Great demo Bea!
How square wavey / struttery does the amplitude trem go at extreme depth setting?
Awesome video! Awesome little box! So many beautiful sounds. I got to get me one.
Beautiful. I'd imagine this pedal goes last on a board, right?
id love to see you test out a jet pedals revelarion reverb 🙏🙏🙏 pleaaaaseee
I think I just found a Flint killer. Been wanting to get a Flint for a very long time but never did for various reasons. Somehow I totally missed the Hydra but I think I prefer it.
Almost sounds like a Univibe pedal with the sine and harmonic tremolo settings.
All hail Hydra
@Bogey Man it had to be whispered!
Rabea, PLEASE do a Hydra plus Eccos video!!!!
WOW THIS SOUNDS GLOROIUS
Dude what pickups and amp are you using? Sooooo good😊😊
Waiting for pedal companies to up their game and release Dolby Atmos pedals
Digitech Polara is a great reverb pedal too. 😉
As a reverb junky, i have to say this is some of the best reverb tones i have ever seen out of a pedal. I had a Keeley Aurora, and this sounds similar, just on major steroids!
Totally agree. I may end up getting one of these.
If you own the Caverns would it be worth getting the hydra.
kind of weird because normally you want tremelo before the amp and rev after ,so if you put the pedal before you are forced to set the amp pretty much clean .and if you put the pedal last I don't know how good may sound the tremolo .
I have to assume that Rabea, like me, was/is an Oceansize fan.
Great video, can you get a square
Wave chop on the tremolo?
Very nice. I wonder which pickups he stuck with in the end on the Strat.
Hey dude, any plans to talk us through your artist presets on helix 3.0?
damn what was that fuzz at around 19:15
13:30 is a nice little dig.
Cool studio! Question about Hydra: Is the "Stereo Out" jack a tip/ring/sleeve, or is it the left side out?
2 jacks
thank you therewas

I'm kind of new to the pedal world
But I think I need a stereo option.

Any specific recommendations?

where are the other two cables plugged into? FX loop?
Unrelated, what height do you like your strat pups? Just got a new am pro ii, trying to get them set right.
A good comparison would be "Hydra Vs. Flint." Sounds like a Gojira film.
Just have a question rabea not pedal related but about locking tuners. Which locking tuners are there that are of high quality and maybe you prefer?
What´s the difference between this and Halo?
Excellent review, how where you getting the shimmer? What tuning?
Hey dude. Just to let you know, the shimmer is the secondary function of plate reverb in the pedal.
Cheers ✌️
@@sebastianstigler1064 Cool might replace my Flint
Hey, where is your scratch plate from? Cheers
He did a video on it. Search for it, I can't remember what it's called. Try strat as a keyword or new strat
Found it, type is this the end rabea
İs there shimmer in this pedal?
How do I record stereo pedals in stereo to a DAW? I have a focusrite and a preamp
Use two inputs in your interface. The DAW should have an option for setting the inputs on a track to stereo (something like “Stereo: Inputs 1 & 2”).
