Almost every pedal on my board is a Keeley pedal (other than my Griffin Boris and a few others) but looks like I'm getting another one. Sounds amazing in the demos and will work great with my Halo in a stereo setup!

Sounds killer. Plus Keeley has fantastic customer service and support for their pedals. Great company.

Absolutely! I can tell you as a friend of his, he had always been the nicest dude and a huge heart. He enjoys life and never takes himself too seriously. I'm so proud of him and what he has accomplished. The fact that i'm a guitarist and get to enjoy his creations is a bonus, lol.

It sounds awesome in all the demo videos.
Pairing it with the Halo seems like such a cool idea too. Having both pedals means you can use the Halo for high gain parts where distinct repeats make more sense and actually do sound clearer overall, but then for cleaner parts, you can switch to the Nocturne to retain basically the same overall ambient footprint as the Halo but remove the distinct echoes poking out and competing for attention.
Also, from the demos, it sounds like the spring reverb in this thing might actually be worth a damn. I’ve always hated spring reverb, real or digital, but the spring in this sounds cool. The Modulation knob controls how much emphasis is on the drip effect, which might be the most convincing, exaggerated spring drip sound I’ve ever heard from an emulation. Seems great for when you’d want to use reverb as more of a gag effect for old sounding stuff.

I was thinking the same thing!!!

Just got the pedal in the mail.
It has replaced the Flint as my favorite "normal sized pedal" reverb. Both pedals have three algorithms: Spring, Plate, and Big Ambient. To my ear, the Nocturne does all three sounds better.

The Nocturne sounds amazing! I don't even need the Zoma at this point. All three settings sound great and sounds even better with the Keeley Halo.

Got my Nocturne a couple weeks back as well. Really digging it! Keep going back and forth between the plate and Nocturne reverbs. Has some tech to it but not too “techy” for me. It really upped my reverb game for sure. Just sounds wonderful.

Nice!! Are you running it in mono or stereo? I like having the preset and WYSIWYG settings. I'll have the one set for clean, lush sounds and the other for heavier sounds.
I get so into the Nocturne that I forget about the other modes, lol. I love using the Keeley Halo into the Nocturne in stereo. Sounds killer!

I have the capability to run in stereo I think, but not sure really how to set up my gear in stereo?
I do have two heads and two cabs.
Just using it in mono right now.

Aw man. That's sweet. I'm more of a dual delay for reverb guy, but that sounds really good. EQD Dispatch Master is the only pedal with reverb I've kept. This has a similar vibe, for that ethereal sound.

I can help you do that if you are interested. There is a really easy want to do it. Have your mono setup the way you already do to one amp. For the second amp, you can just run a cable to the "return" jack in the second amp. So you'll be using just the power section of 2nd amp.

I’ll definitely try that!
Do you think there will be phase issues?

I was very interested in this a month ago, but I'm not sure I need it? I can use the reverb on my 5150 combo which sounds okay to me. I'd pretty much be buying this for the Plate and the Nocturne settings only.

Both of those settings sound fantastic IMO
I admit though my reverb pedal experience is limited to an EH, CB Talisman and Dr. Scientist Reverberator.
Definitely an upgrade for me.

No I don't think so because you are just taking that sound from the one amp and only using the power section of the second amp by going into the effects loop return.
