Just ordered the 2 knob version as I'm growing a bit tired with my EHX stomp (touch noisy and has some volume fluctuations that aren't supposed to be in there, me thinks :confused: ). Anyone out there with this Keeley stomp who can chime in and let me know your thoughts? Seems like a solid compressor all things read and considered.

Peace,
Mojo :D
 
I'd like to hear about it once you get it.
If any one can chime in contrasting it with the 4-knob, I'd appreciate it as well.
I recently asked Dave Friedman on his forum about compressors, and he said he likes the 4 knob.
 
Theres no difference between the 2 knob and 4 knob versions. On the 2 knob version the missing knobs are inside the unit - and still fully tweekable. Just depends whether you a set it and forget it guy - or a constantly tweeking guy.

I really loved mine. Had it for years and only left me when i went the AXF route - as I had no pedalboard left. Its one of the most neutral (tonally) yet most dynamic compressor I ever tried. if you want audible differences (rather than just dynamic) your better off with an MXR dynacomp or similar. If your after a propper compressor then the Keeley really is very very good.
 
Had one for a while... did not like it at all. It was a very tone changing pedal. I'm sure it is great for what it is and if you like it's fine. I wanted compression, but transparently, this pedal did not do it. I ended up living with a Carl Martin Comp/Limiter for years after the Keeley. It was 100% invisible except for the compression I wanted.
