The Keeley Caverns V2 combines a warm analog-style tape delay and a lush reverb in one pedal, fine-tuned so the two effects blend without turning into mush. Its delay offers up to 650 milliseconds of warm, tape-voiced echo, slightly darker than the dry signal with saturation progressively added to later repeats, clean enough for rhythmic delays yet warm enough to stay out of the way on spacier passages, with modulation available. The reverb side offers Spring, Shimmer, and Modulated modes, with the Spring setting praised as remarkably faithful to a real Princeton Reverb tank and a subtle, authentic tremolo available via the Rate knob. Crucially the delay and reverb do not fight when run together, avoiding the wallowing soup of many combined units. It suits ambient, indie, surf, and rock players wanting a versatile, board-friendly space-making delay and reverb in one.
The Keeley ECCOS is a neo-vintage tape delay and looper that blends warm, dark analog-style echoes with authentic reel-to-reel flanging for lush, evolving repeats. The delay trails are tone-modulated rather than merely pitch-shifted, so the shape and color of repeats constantly shift, recalling Eddie Kramer and Jimi Hendrix Electric Ladyland textures. A tone knob sets how the echoes sit in a mix, handling everything from tight slapback to soupy ambient washes, and an onboard looper adds convenience. It suits players after classic analog delay colors paired with vintage studio flange effects. Its standout character is sumptuous tape-style flanged delay, though its multi-function controls carry a real learning curve.
