Developed in collaboration with Andy Timmons, the NOCTURNE from Keeley Electronics is a flagship reverb pedal that redefines ambient tones. With three reverb soundscapes shaped by just four intuitive controls, it’s designed for effortless onstage control and sonic depth for plug & play types. Advanced users will appreciate its remote switching, expression pedal support, preset storage, and full MIDI integration for maximum flexibility.
The NOCTURNE pedal gives you three new reverb modes — Nocturne, Spring, and Plate — each designed to be the guitar and amp’s perfect companion. The Plate reverb is based on Keeley’s extensive analysis and modelling of the stereo tube plate reverb that was in Austin City Limits studio since the mid-1970s. The Nocturne’s Spring reverb features their finest sounds based on both stand-alone reverb tanks and tube amplifier combos.
The simple four-knob layout of Tone, Level, Decay, and Modulation makes it easy to shape each gorgeous reverb algorithm. Each mode can be made a preset so you can store your favourite sounds. Alt features include pre-delay time control, allowing you to create slapback echo effects.
NOCTURNE offers a flexible signal path with True or Buffered Bypass, Expression Pedal control, Remote Switching, and MIDI compatibility for up to 72 presets. Whether you’re running mono or stereo, wet/dry, or full wet for parallel rigs, the NOCTURNE adapts easily to any setup. Built on Keeley’s award-winning Core architecture, every component and line of code is tuned to make this reverb feel musical and alive.
Operation is easy with the NOCTURNE – if the indicator LED is blue, then it’s ‘wysiwyg’; the knobs set the tone or level of each reverb mode. If the LED is red, each reverb is a favourite or preset, where you can save the settings for each reverb mode.
