A one pedal pedalboard

Pablo F 19.02.2020

Running this alone can more than compete with the majority of pedalboards. The fuzz is probably one of the best I've heard and has several options with the flat/full/scoop switch. Great for Gilmour sounds at reasonable volume but also can deliver some great classic fuzz tones ranging from the fuzz face to a particularly aggressive Big Muff. Also not quite as noisy as some fuzz pedals can be (obviously pickups and environment will have a bearing on this).

The effects/delay side adds great colours to your palette. The Uni-Vibe and rotary settings are my personal favourites but that's not to knock the flanger and phaser which have a good sweep and rate control is very responsive. The delay is emulating tape delay and does so fantastically, not quite as detailed control wise as some dedicated tape style delays but can still get a wide range with all the various tape heads.

Whilst is may seem expensive at first, the range of sounds you can get means that you could comfortably use just this pedal and wouldn't be lacking.

If only it had adequate packaging for the journey

Sadly this pedal arrived in a very large box without any padding to protect it from moving around. As a consequence when I tried the pedal, the mod side only worked intermittently, I had already tried to halt the order but as it arrived I thought I might keep it but the fault made my mind up. I've now waited 14 days for Hermes/Thoman to collect it from me, which is not good and they seem to be ignoring emails to. Shame!

Needs presets and delay is isolated

Lysander the Unbearable 16.01.2022

It’s close but doesn't replace separate pedals. Not being able to combine some effects which are essential to Gilmour’s tone on Dark Side of the Moon, limits this unit considerably.
The effects are all very good and accurate but this unit should have been made with all effects independent of eachother.

Ein Super Box!!!

Anonymous 28.10.2016

David Gilmour's basic effects setup is well over ¤15000. Unachievable for most of us, but with the Keeley Dark Side I'd say its pretty close! It's got just about everything you would require in one box. The box itself is very well hand crafted and amazingly accurate.
Just one negative point though: during a gig it's fairly impossible to change the fine settings for example the blend and rate since they are dials. In this case you might want to have two boxes running separate for different effects.
Other than that, its a 5 star item.
