Sometimes Brian Wampler should just shut his whore mouth...

So, in the (phantasmagorovich) spirit of posting misinformation to get builders to post here more, what can we say about these pedals?




Let's speculate.

I'd've added more freaky pedals to the thread title, but there seems to be a character limit.

We can start with those or any other pedal you wanna talk about or something like that.

I think these are all Klons....


(They are lastgasp prototypes)

[Chankgeez]

Those knobs and switches are dead giveaways.

I'd love it if Hiro posted here. Good call, lordgalvar.

Didn't Keeley used to be kind of a classy operation?

[Chankgeez]

They still are, check this out:

Subdecay uglyface is cool. I thought he already made one though.

What's the Keeley about?

[Jwar]

The Keeley isn't real. It was an Aprils Fools joke.

[Chankgeez]

I think the SubDecay is an updated Noise Box (which I love).

Keeley bills The Absolüte Würst as a "Random Harmony Generator".

[lordgalvar]

Dude, Keeley isn't real...like Betty Crocker or something?

Wikipedia is hard.

[Chankgeez]

The Keeley isn't real. It was an Aprils Fools joke.

I don't care, I still want one.

(The better to misinformation you with. There's no greater misinformation than an April Fools joke gone rogue.)

[phantasmagorovich]

Much worse than the Klon!

He knows how to play the ILF crowd!


Edit:

For an april fools joke this is going a looong way!

[goroth]

It's not an april fool's joke - you can add it to your cart at PGS.



The description there is pretty god damned awesome.

There are three modes and about a hundred different sounds in Keeley’s Würst. The three main modes are Random, Pitch Up and Pitch Down. “Random” is sort of like an LFO-driven random, super-resonant sample-and-hold filter. Pitch Up and Pitch Down do exactly what they sound like, but in the most pleasingly disharmonic way.

The Blend and Gain knobs are pretty self-explanatory, then there is the Proximity (read: how far from the root note the “harmony” is) and Range/Rate. In Pitch Up and Down modes, this controls the range of pitch and in Random mode, this controls the rate of the filter. Proximity and Range in conjunction can get really weird, really quickly. And it gets weird, all right. Weird, even for the Würst.

It seems the last few product releases Keeley has been moving away from the transparent compressor crowd and doing some cool stuff.

Psi fuzz, that fuzz wah (minus the horrible graphics), mu-tron thinger. All looks cool.

[Jwar]

That's weird as fuck! He said it was an April Fools joke. Maybe they changed their minds after there was a positive response to it?

[Chankgeez]

So, does this mean that because you were trying to misinform me, you're buying me one as a present to make it up to me?

[D.o.S.]

I feel so targeted, and it feels so right.

If you think you’re gonna play the blues with this, you’re wrong. Nothing to see here, move on to the Compressor Pro page. If you think compressors are a waste of time and the only time your pedals sound good are when the battery is dead, you’re at the right place! I designed this pedal in concept while texting and driving. Texting both Atlee Hickerson and the mad scientist Aaron Tackett, they got it done. Sew Prowd Uf Ewe Too!

Still doesn't remind me of my Noise Ensemble, but I would probably fuck with it. This is the kind of thing, I think, that would desperately benefit from a Tourbox.
