Andy Timmons’ angelic-sounding “Halo” effect is a modulated dual echo that has long been kept a secret by the tone wizard himself. Andy spent decades crafting and perfecting this spellbinding sound, which you can now replicate with Keeley’s HALO pedal! Notes from the HALO dance rhythmically, almost creating a reverb diffusion — held together with tape-style effects like modulation, saturation and compression. The results are simply incredible…
HALO comes loaded with Andy’s signature delay tone, but this feature-packed pedal lets you customise your very own sounds and store them as presets for easy recall too. Bounce between sides A and B on-the-fly — essentially giving you two delay pedals in one! In addition to Andy’s signature “Halo” sound, there are numerous other rhythmic delays built in. Stunning stereo connectivity and pristine sound quality are further enhanced with controls for saturation, tone, and shelving filters — giving you the ultimate compact delay workstation!

2 Delays in One!
Think of HALO as two delay pedals that work in tandem, letting you switch between your main delay (side A) and an alternative (side B). With up to 1500ms of available delay time, set sides A and B for different delay times, then simply switch between the two. Keeley’s ‘Smart Stomp System’ allows you to press and hold either stomp switch to engage tap tempo mode. Press and hold the alternate stomp switch for infinite repeat/hold — great for creating soundscapes with! Each preset bank gives you two delays settings for a total of eight user-storable effects.
