The Robert Keeley Interview

Here's a first for my channel – an interview! Robert Keeley of Keeley Electronics drops by to talk Keeley's new line of 4-in-1 pedals. We had a really good time! I've sprinkled some quick demo playing throughout the interview as well. Thanks for watching!

In 2000 I had a very simple question about a circuit that NOBODY would answer in forums and whatnot. I was frustrated so I emailed RK directly with my schematic. HE ANSWERED and made me promise I wouldn’t tell anybody he had helped me. I’ve kept it a secret until this moment.

Sounding good man !Great to see my good friend Robert talking with you Justin ! Great conversation !

[jsket]

I love how much RK is thinking about delivering value. That footswitchable buffer sounds like a great tool not just for rig building but for education. You can literally change modes as you play so people can hear the difference.

Robert Keeley seems like such a fantastic dude! I saw him build a fuzz live and on a time limit at the Fretboard Summit this past August but never got to say hello personally but as somebody that builds pedals and is a fan/user of Keeley's stuff I wish I had!

[brianmiller]

Another great video Justin! Both of you guys are so smart and talented and likable. Keep up the good work!

[RyanWellsMusic]

I've had a hard time finding delay pedals that sound musical to my ears. I LOVE the Keeley Mag Echo. It seems to add something musical to my tone and also stacks well with cleaner, longer delays.

[ampgent]

This is such an incredible idea for a pedal video! I hope you continue these with other pedal designers. Justin you are making great stuff, both in terms of gear and some of the amazing designers and musicians involved

[jayformicolamusic]

I can vouch for Keeley customer service. There is none better. I think that is a direct result of what a great guy Robert Keeley is.

[Tonetwisters]

Rob was willing to make a bottom plate for my old ROSS compressor, when he thought it needed one. I currently have one of his four-nob compressors, and it is very musical.

[joeurbanowski]

I recently got the Keeley Muse Driver.. Robert’s ear for nuance and technical knowledge produce some awesome gear.!

[terrylittrell]

I'm 61 and love what you guys do.

[billyraybush]

Great interview and what a nice, humble man he is!! Keep up the good work my friend!

[MRxr]

Robert replied to a comment of mine on some youtube blokes page. Very impressed how approachable he is.

[nourdinenourdine]

Thank you for this interesting meeting full of information from Mr Keeley the genius and one of the most prominent innovators in this field

[TomCPlus]

Thank heavens for the "quick demo playing."
Parceling the demos out in four separate videos, also wonderful.

[pedalscapes]

Really great interview, Robert and his crew produce the best gear!
Thanks for your demo's and input sounding really great!
Also, agreed on Hydra, it's my go to and seems to sprinkle magic dust on everything, especially in stereo!
Cheers 😎

[TNNLZ]

I could listen to Mr. Keeley for hours. Nice overview - want!

[lukedavismusic]

I love your take on the YT pedal demo thing! Demoing pedals for use in a real world recording situation.

Man that Blues Disorder is exactly what my board is missing. It's gonna save me a lot

[fiddlefolk]

My two favorite OD pedals on my board is a version 1 King of Tone and an original 1996 Boss Blues Driver I bought brand new then. The poor old blues driver is starting to feel it's age but no matter what I replace it with, it finds its way back. I goose it with a Karma MTN-10 occasionally ....Those 3 deals are great together!
