Keeley Halo + Stereo + Dual amps = Eargasm

Title say it's all. Bella + Princeton taking inputs from the Halo.


This has been my Sunday morning well spent. Just wanted to share some of the joy.

What's great about the Halo is that it always sounds in mono. But its stereo processing just takes it to another level.

10 / 12 speaker mix is interesting too.

Might try the FM9 driving them next as a bit of a compare and contrast session.

Ok, now I know what I’m doing later today.

Sweet!


Stereo delay/dual amp setups can be truly amazing. They do get a little washy for me, so I use a wet/dry
configuration with a dry/post-dirt feed going to one amp, and the other receiving the wet/delay-verb signal.

Always dual amps here at home when doing the tube amp thingy.

I hope you get to the place where you realize a 3rd amp for a Wet/Dry/Wet setup is the true tonal Holy Grail.

At the point I've graduated to the gratuitous use of 3 tube amps, I might as well go all the way; drop the guitar, acquire a small cathedral and use its built-in organ.

I love my Halo. In stereo it's really something special for sure.

If Keeley would make a Halo with MIDI controllable presets and a dedicated knob for each control instead of each knob having secondary functions, it would be the best delay of all time.

I’ll be totally honest. When I saw Dan get teary-eyed in the original video, I felt it in the pit of my stomach. The overall vibe during that part was very emotional. Sign of a truly great musician that Andy is.

 

[jellodog]

@norminal I felt the same.

First time I heard that piece of music it got to me too. Imagine being in the room with that sound at 96 db. Love Andy; he really is great.

No one is mentioning the Red Sparkle Halo? WTF?!

Ohohoh we noticed it very much over here. There was plenty of ooh-ing and ahh-ing. Fantastic colour!

I didn't even want an Halo until I saw that majestic sparkly creature.

 

[hemmelight]

I believe that specific colour is called “Andy Apple Red”, which really tickles me.

Gorgeous finish. I like the white one they did as well:

@norminal Don't make me buy threeeeeeee!!!!

I'd need 6 amps for 3 x stereo too!

If they made a black-on-silver version then I’d have to buy one too

Keeley has a custom shop.

Haha! 3 Halos x W/D/W = 9 amps.
