Wasn’t planning to spend money this morning. Thanks Corey!

[bazilbrushrocks]

Greg Martin often jokingly refers to reverb as “talent”. “Let’s turn up the talent a bit”.

[johnmac]

Great tips Corey. You made me realise I use too much reverb & delay. When you had it at that level that that I hardly noticed it, until you turned it off, then I realised how much it was beefing up the sound. More tips like this would be great. Thanks

[craiger]

I know I've said it before, but you are such a killer player. You really get the best out of your gear too.

[Snewman]

You are an outstanding player, my friend. Just discovered your channel recently and I can't get enough of your musicianship!

[martinmaccauley]

I've had my Keeley Halo for about 6mths but the operation of it mystifies me. I have watched countless demo videos but I know nothing about maths or quarter notes & I've been thinking of emailing Keeley to ask them if they might be able to help me out but you have given me some bite size chunks that I can understand and experiment with. The part that confuses me is the blue LED that signifies a change to the presets...and whether the pedal defaults when the power is switched off then back on. But the blue light doesn't default....groan...my head hurts, but thanks to you, Corey, you explain in a way I can keep up with.

[billleger]

The timing of those bends and vibrato on that Les Paul solo at 1:53 were spot on. Great playing

[garymiller]

Best HALO demo yet!! Thanks Corey, you rock!!!!

[GuyNAustin]

Fantastic review, and very helpful. It’s a stomp box jungle out here, and with so many different pedals to sort through, the value of these types of reviews cannot be overstated. Then, you have the dilemma of which pedals stack well, which ones perform well with both single coils and humbuckers, and the list goes on and on …

Thanks!!!

[HereXEG]

Man I love the way you cover so much that went over my head for so many years. You got a great ear for this stuff, you're the only guy that nails down the sounds Ive been chasing!

[caleshtcincredibles]

Man Corey this is a real classroom on delay and reverb, I'm going to share this with all my guitar player mates

[michaeleaster]

I love your videos man... especially the basic, "keep it simple" theme used both for gear and playing (e.g. rhythm)

[arifmemovic]

I am binging guitar tone tutorials and audio quality of your videos over phone speakers stands out. Thanks for sharing your masterful knowlege with us!

[winstonsmith]

As a recent convert to amp modelling this is really useful. It's so easy to go overboard with effects. Not too bad in your bedroom, but as soon as you get outside and turn up the volume, it becomes a mess.
Cheers 👍.

[toploadtele]

I found the Neo Instruments mini Vent II to be THE rotary pedal to use - If you haven't played one... you should check it out ASAP!

[arottie]

Thanx Mr Congilio for demoing all those pedals. Some really cool sound's flying around there! <3 ;)

[jphegarty]

This is an exceptionally useful video that really made me think about how to best dial in a great delay/ reverb sound. Thank you!

[christopheraniol]

Pretty sure you can connect the Halo to the Hydra to sync the tempo with one tap pedal. I have my Halo connected to my Eccos and use the Eccos to set the tempo for both.

[tmsglobal]

Was helpful to understand how to use the pedal in typical situations
