Keeley Monterey
Keeley · pedal
The Keeley Monterey is a four-in-one multi-effect pedal combining fuzz, rotary speaker simulation, octave, and wah effects inspired by the sonic palette of Jimi Hendrix's 1967 Monterey Pop Festival performance. The pedal recreates the four key effects associated with Hendrix's most famous performance in a single enclosure: a Big Muff-style fuzz, a rotating speaker cabinet effect, an octave fuzz, and a wah filter. Used for Hendrix-inspired tone recreation and psychedelic rock performance.
