One Pedal = David Gilmour?!? Keeley Dark Side Review
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 7. 08. 2024
- In this video I'm trying to get David Gilmour and Pink Floyd tones with just Keeley Dark Side pedal. If you're JUST getting into pedals and don't want to deal with all the different big muffs or modulations, get this one without a blink. I love this compact pedal! It has phaser, uni-vibe, rotary, flanger, delay and of course, the famous Gilmour fuzz!

I've been waiting for you to review this for ages, thanks
Great video! Really good in showcasing the different capabilities of this awesome pedal! And as always: on point playing! :)
Man you're doing awesome work here. Many thanks. And the pedal is glorious
The "Pigs" outro solo sounded so legit! Kudos
I've always loved this pedal, I've played it at my local guitar store a few times and always sounds absolutely killer, buddy
For Pink Floyd, pedal is only half of the sound, even less :) Player is the key :) Great job and good review! Thanks for sharing! Shine on
Dont worry in the future you will get a DG chip in your head and you will be complete đ
As someone who has recently spent a small fortune on guitars, pickups, amps and pedals to try and recreate the Gilmour sound, I can confirm the equipment only gets you about 5% of the way. The rest is all in the hands!
By the way, I own this pedal for around three years. And it's really a great one! And I also do covers of Pink Floyd
czcams.com/video/riALtYYWS0k/video.html
I already own this pedal for more than three years. Truly great pedal. Playing with my black strat.
Especially Gilmores vibrato! So hard for me to get that down and in slow melodic solos itâs pretty key. Iâve really enjoyed this pedal tho. Endless fun
Damm that sound, blown away! Great playing!
great pedal and some fantastic playing bro!!!!!!
greetings Romanov...
I bought the pedals about three weeks ago and I really love it. Incredible sounds
I have a laney cub12 for over 10 years now, great little amp for clean stuff and gilmour off course.
Yep the tone at the end is a kicker with the Obscured tones also very good....
Holy shit, that GGITS jam in the intro - perfection!
What in the hell is GGITIS ? Is it code or something and why it canât be typed out or just lazy?
Great Gig in The Sky :))@@TheSoundofForgetting
Dude. Nice video, and very adept guitar work. It all sounds really good. I bought the Keeley Dark Side with a wild look in my eyes, fell in love, and then I sold it. You are right about this pedal; it will give you lots of great Gilmour sounds. And in a way, that exposes its greatest shortcoming. There is no means to access alternate tones, unless you reset the controls (for the heart of the Sun.) Keeley needs to find a way to store presets from the pedal and make them accessible on the fly. If you put the Dark Side on your gigging pedal board, it will yield a range of great fuzz tones, and a smorgasbord of modulation. However, if you are in a Pink Floyd cover band and want to use this pedal, you will have to pause between every song to dial up the right sound. That's a beautiful Stratocaster you are playing! Candy Apple Red doesn't get enough love.
Been waiting for this review...
Had this for like 5 years or so now and it's worth every penny for a Pink Floyd fan but it's capable of so so much more too! To be honest though I do wish they had kept with the original design that had the insert cable and input so you could put other effects between the 2 pedal sides.
Iâve just stumbled across your videos Mustafa, youâve renewed my love of Floyd, and in particular Gilmour, and I think your content is absolutely brilliant and wonderfully researched. Unlike many people on CZcams, you actually use your ears. I salute you
Thank you Martin! I appreciate that!
Woooow Iâm hooked!!!! đâ€
Ok. The Animals sound sold me. Going to get one tomorrow.
Oh man, thank you so much! I just got one of those, mainly because of your lessons!
With the EMGs is so difficult to deal with the muff. But with the BlackStrat CustomShop the hole pedal works 100% fine!!!
Thanks for this, I'm a home guitarist and enjoy playing Pink Floyd. Also I only have this pedal with a small amp.. Can you suggest settings for Coming Back to Life?
well ... the pedal, a phaser, the Strat and the EMG DG20 David Gilmour mics set I guess,right ? đand of course, your amazing playing đđ
I use the keely Monterey it lowkey works better for pre dark side tone cause itâs got a germanian style fuzz face in it
Exemplary playerâŠkeep going and do your thing.!!!! Rock that ahi!.
I have this pedal and also the Keeley Monterey, which I run together, itâs a fantastic tool box, those 2 together, slice of Heaven.
Frequently, cramming in a bunch of effects together means sacrifice. But not here. Every sound of any of the effects & their variations sound great.
In fact, if I donât use them for a while, then drag them out, well, I am always surprised at how great they are!
If youâre a fan of the great tones out there from about 67 to the early 80s itâs all in thereâŠ
Final Cut nailed!
DAMN THE INTROđ„đ„đ„đ„đ„đ„đ„đ„đ„đ„đ„đ§Żđ§Żđ§Żđ§Żđ§Ż
You could make a shoe box with elastic bands over it sound good!
haha! thanks!
does it come with a booklet,with different settings to help get all the Gilmour tones :))
Excellent.
If that is you playing, you're pretty fkn good to be honest : )
Have you tried the boss harmonist? Iâd like to see how it does on Pink Floyd songs like dogs, pigs, sheep, and hey you.
The Boss PS-5 and PS-6 have a few tracking issues and other glitches.
I recommend The TC Electronic Quintessence "Intelligent" Harmonizer. Same price as the Boss units
What about the Machine dry Bell
What kind of technological wizardry is this?!!
Dam Musty :)....You keep my head spinning...I'm building my DG rig ....... Dark side? Hi-Power? and the Engine in one week. I have a mix of vintage pedals from my youth (OG electric mistress / Big Muff ) but working on building up a rig for DI work direct to a DAW's....I'm dizzy.
This channel is where paychecks come to die.
I'll update my pedalboard video next month. I never make a video about a pedal I don't recommend, so it's all great, but I have my overall taste too of course. I'll give more info about my pedalboard, alternative pedals and everything.
@@mustyguitar I just ordered a Drybell the Engine based on your other video. It'll keep my vibe machine company.
@@paull8678 I love engine, it's definitely a must on my pedalboard!
Side by side with a triangle Big Muff we noticed the Dark Side's fuzz has a lot more drive. Do you think the Dark Side pedal might be boosting the fuzz?
I think itâs not triangle but close to green Russian model.
If I would put it on my pedalboard, what will be the signal chain? Sorry if itâs a weird question, iâm just confuse by the modulation and the fuzz and all on the pedal đ
I understand man, no problem, it's not weird. so the logical signal chain should be like this:
pitch shifters (whammy and stuff) -> wah -> VINTAGE fuzz -> compressor -> big muff -> distortion -> overdrive -> modulation -> delay -> reverb.
you can put an overdrive BEFORE the big muff too if you want, it will sounds great and I'll make a video about boosting big muffs.
so you have big muff and modulations on dark side and if you put the right order, big muff comes first. it would be logical to put an overdrive BEFORE the dark side pedal and you can use the delay or modulation on the dark side pedal.
I haven't tried it but dark side has fx loop too.
@@mustyguitar Thank you so much for your answer and taking of your time to do it! That really help indeed and I see what youâre saying, I will try that! And btw, your videos inspired me and helped a lot for me and I think youâre amazing and dedicated in what youâre doing, and that is very cool! And youâre so talented man! And again, thanks for the help!
â@@mustyguitarShouldn't a vintage Fuzz like a Fuzzface or Tonebender go first? Unless it's one of the units that are engineered specifically to handle buffered pedals like a Wah in front (eg MXR Classic 108, SGFX If 6 Was 9, Chase Tone Red Velvet 68/Fuzz Fella, anything by Analogman)?? Otherwise, you'll get horrible oscillations
ââ@@mustyguitarunless it's something like an MXR Classic 108, SGFX If 6 Was 9, Chase Tone Red Velvet 68/Fuzz Fella, or Analogman Sunface, all vintage Fuzz pedals should go first in the chain. It's a question of impedance. Vintage Fuzz pedals reverse the impedance of any other pedal (Fuzz- low impedance in/high impedance output).
â@@mustyguitarOnly the rare Dark Side V1 has the FX loop (Insert). You were playing a V2, which is what has been sold as standard model for over 10 years now.
It took me 11 years to find a V1 and it's going with me to my grave!
The V2 replaced the insert with a button that reverses the order of the two sides so you can run either modulation or delay>Fuzz or Fuzz>Modulated or Delay.
only issue is you cant mix modulation and delay, and you can't mix phaser and rotary to make shine on you crazy diamond syds theme, which is annoying
I don't believe there's a leslie (rotary) with phaser on syd's theme. Leslie is very dominant effect and it doesn't do well with phaser. I'm not saying gilmour didn't use leslie, he clearly did very, very much in his earlier stuff, on Dark Side, on Wembley, but I don't hear leslie on wish you were here album. he might have used it, but maybe that's me, I'll have to research for wish you were here definitive tone guide.
@@mustyguitar but yeah. off to the side in that photo is a leslie 142 speaker
No compressor?
Nope
This pedal needs a MK2 so you can use all the effects at once.
That would turn this pedal into a processor or a big multi effect pedal. It's possible and it would attract more players probably, but I think it wouldn't be compact.
@@mustyguitar True, had the opportunity to buy it for 200 euros but didnt pull the trigger since I already have everything this pedal has to offer.
The one big drawback with these all in one Swiss army knife pedals... there are certain combinations of effects you can not run concurrently. I was considering this pedal for Gilmourish type tones, but after my experience with its cousin, the Keeley Monterey ( for Jimi Hendrix-style), I decided against it. You may still have to have other pedals to fill in the gaps of its limitations of combinations. Also, it might be OK for the studio, but for live applications... these types of pedals can be really fiddly to dial in, especially in the dark.
I'm not saying its bad..,.just be aware. Many times, these all in one pedals will do a good/ ok job of multiple things but not a great job of all things. Do homework, download the manual, apply that to your songs beforehand...,you may have an ahh- ha moment. I wish I had drilled deeper with the Monterey first...Vids like this one help alot, thank you and
Happy Trails.
I agree with you. This is definitely a recommendation for players who want to get into the pedals and wants to get a lot of stuff for it's buck, but it's best to have dedicated pedals for dedicated effects.
that being said, I will still be using this pedal for my patreon page. Also I really like the tape delay!
Like you don't have to tweak your other pedals to get the correct sounds. I think people are just not happy no matter what. Presets would be nice tho.
Combined modulation and delay is a huge NO-NO :( We need modulation and delay at the same time
the 1 problem is a big problem.
I donât understand. What problem? Thank you
@@billmoran935
Obviously, I donât know what heâs talking about either, but if I had to guess I would say the âbig problemâ is the price.
@@charlesbolton8471 its not really that expensive if you consider the pedals you would need seperately to achieve the same thing. You would need a big muff, phase, flanger, univibe, probably a clean boost, delay with time settings,
Given what youâre getting from these pedals (I also run the Keeley Monterey with this pedal), itâs a steal!
This review doen't help at all considering that you don't show the pedal settings for each individual section. And any sublte changes you do show (knob settings for example) don't sound anything like what you get from the pedal. Theres no way youre getting that tone with this pedal alone. You don't tell us which setting you're in on the delay side. The switch never moves throughout the entire video. So basically you're just showcasing your playing with absolutely no feedback on the pedal itself. BTW, the knob settings you show in each section don't correspond AT ALL to the tone youre getting. I set mine up exactly as yours is set in each section and it doesn't sound anything like your tone.
this review helped hundreds of people and at least 10 of my Patrons messaged me and thanked me about it. also you're crazy to think every setting reacts same on every rig. this is a guideline, this is how "I" use it on my 1w amp with low volume. "YOU" might have different pickup, different amp, different picking style, different volume, different setting on your amp.
Be safe and we all support you
I feel that support very much lately, thanks!
would be even better plugged in a stack of hi watt đ«¶
everything would sound better plugged in a stack of hiwatt amps, no?
@@mustyguitar I know some people who donât play good, not tight, and end up sounding like shit even if they have thousands of dollars of gear âŠ.like me đ
