Keeley Electronics Halo Andy Timmons Dual Echo

Robert and the folks at Keeley Electronics have been making delay pedals for years, and we’ve had the privilege to check out just about all of ’em. From the Caverns to the DDR to the ECCOS and more, we’ve thoroughly enjoyed each and every one. Today’s pedal keeps this wonderful delay tradition going, with the help of an excellent guitarist – come with us as we check out the HALO Andy Timmons Dual Echo, won’t you??

Andy Timmons’ mysterious sounding “Halo” effect is a modulated dual echo sound that has long been kept a secret by the tone wizard himself. Andy spent decades combining and crafting the sounds you can now get from the HALO. Notes from the HALO dance rhythmically, almost creating a reverb diffusion. Those notes are held together with tape-style effects like modulation, saturation and compression. The results are stunning.

The pedal comes loaded with his signature delay tone and you can program your own sounds and save them as presets. Easily bounce between Side 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 including: quarter note, dotted 8th, stereo rack mount analog delay, and a vintage multi-head tape echo. Stunning stereo and pristine sound quality are further enhanced with controls for saturation, tone, and shelving filters that give you the ultimate delay pedal.

Use the Saturate control to add tape compression texture to your tone. The Tone and High Pass Filter controls your overall delay shape and mix. The Rhythm Mode selector delivers 5 delay types, including Andy’s unique “Halo” sound. Set the Time and Feedback controls low, and you can open up a world of ambient chorus and flanger effects. Run the HALO in stereo for incredible true-stereo imaging. Save your favorite combination of settings as a preset and the HALO becomes an incredibly compact multi-effect workstation.

Use the 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 1500 ms of available delay, set sides A and B for different delay times, then simply foot switch between the two. Our 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. Each Preset bank gives you 2 delays settings for a total of 8 user-storable effects!

As usual, there’s a lot to discover in this Keeley delay pedal, and we’re here for it. In our demo below, we run through a wide range of sounds this machine can create, dive into some presets, chat about tap tempo, investigate hidden secondary controls and more, if you’ve got a couple minutes to spare. We love working with the entire Keeley Electronics team, and are stoked to add yet another marvelous echo creation of theirs into our effects pedal arsenal.
