Keeley Loomer
Keeley · pedal
The Keeley Loomer is a fuzz and reverb combination pedal inspired by the shoegaze and noise rock tone of bands like My Bloody Valentine, specifically Kevin Shields's combination of heavy fuzz and saturated reverb. The fuzz section delivers dense, harmonically complex fuzz sustain while the reverb section provides lush, saturated reverb decay. The two effects run simultaneously, producing the wall-of-sound quality associated with shoegaze guitar. Named as a tribute to My Bloody Valentine's 1991 album Loveless.
