A debate that of course has no logical end and no single "right answer" because we're all different, but that doesn't mean we can't have some fun with it. I saw an ad in the guitar press recently for a digital, menu-driven piece of equipment and it immediately made me think of a tag line for one of my own analogue pedals: "The Moonphaser uses an interface based on rotating knobs, so you can create professional guitar sounds in 1 second or less." Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Madison, TN -- We are sad to announce that George L. Lewis, industry pioneer and founder of George L's, has passed away. He died Friday afternoon with his family by his side.
Lewis founded George L's more than 30 years ago, introducing the world to the notion that high-quality cables are an important part of good tone. A pioneer in making high-end instrument cables available to a broad range of musicians, George L's was one of the first companies to offer low-capacitance, easy-to-use cable kits. Lewis had also been part-owner of GHS String Co. and Sho-bud Steel Guitar. He was a great influence in the steel guitar community. Lewis kept George L's a family business with the help of wife Mona and daughters Kim and Lisa. The company is known for a warm, family-style ethos that imbues all aspects of its operations; anyone who visits the company's NAMM booth or telephones the office is greeted with gracious hospitality. Prior to his work in the musical instruments industry, Lewis served his country on the USS West Virginia and survived the Pearl Harbor attack. Friday, April 17

Keeley USA have announced that they are back in full production and we can expect stock to arrive here within the next 2 weeks. So we're opening our online ordering again for most products in anticipation of new delivery. Please be aware when ordering that in most cases your pedal(s) will take 2 weeks to be delivered to you!

Things are steadily getting sorted out after the fire; everyone's back at work in an alternative building and pedals are back in production. There is some work to do to clear the backlog that built up when work had to stop and that is being done now. We have pedals in stock here (if our webstore allows you to order a pedal then it is available) and ready to post out. If we are out of stock of anything you want please email or phone us for the latest lead time and to reserve what you want.

Despite the terrible news yesterday it appears that things are nowhere near as bad as they could have been. The word from Keeley USA today is that completed dealer stock (including ours) was essentially untouched by the fire except for some smoke damage to that requires reboxing. Also unmodded Boss and Ibanez pedal stock was unharmed. This should mean that pedals start flowing this way again in the very near future rather than us having the long delay we might have expected. We are still keeping the shopping cart closed for Keeley pedals over the weekend until the situation is completely clear. Please watch this space for more news. Friday, January 16

We have some very sad news today; there has been a fire at Keeley Electronics USA (the source of all Keeley pedals) that has destroyed their Oklahoma factory. For the local news story please see http://newsok.com//article/3338278 For anybody who has a pedal on order from us and is awaiting delivery, we have not be able to get in touch with anyone in the USA yet to find out the situation regarding the condition of an order of pedals that was due to fly over this week. We hope to have some firm news very soon. Our sincerest apologies to anyone whose delivery is delayed, we will be emailing you all individually as more information becomes available. In the interim we felt it was best to disable our online shopping cart system to prevent new customer orders being placed until we know for certain what the position is. You can of course still order George L's cables, the Moonphaser and all non-Keeley products from our sites. If you have any questions about existing or future orders please email us at sales@robertkeeley.co.uk The good news is that nobody was hurt in the fire. Our thoughts are with all the staff at Keeley Electronics Inc. and we send them all our best wishes for a swift re-opening of the business. Wednesday, January 7

RIP: The Keeley RAT II+ has been certified dead by Keeley USA. Sadly they will not supply them to anybody, despite offering to throw money at them to keep the pedal available this side of the pond. The page is still currently on the Keeley UK site but the shopping cart won't accept orders for the Rat. Sorry for any disappointment. Any questions please email us or call +44 (0)1223 841035 Monday, April 7

Product update! All SD-1ge 5 star Super Overdrive pedals shipping from now on do NOT have the Burr Brown chip installed. Instead they get two stacked TI RC4558P chips operating in parallel, which reduces the noise and improves the sound even further than the previous models. The BB chip is no longer included with SD-1s. If you have any questions about this or any other feature of our pedals please get in touch by email to info@robertkeeley.co.uk or phone to +44 (0)1223 841035. Friday, July 13

All TS808-TB true bypass pedals shipping from now on will get a 1982 vintage JRC4558D chip fitted as standard. This used to be an optional extra but we're now including it in the top model at no extra charge. Wednesday, June 20

The Diago Powerstation (http://www.robertkeeley.co.uk/acc_powersupplies.htm) pack has been upgraded; all orders from today will ship with a 6-way daisy chain instead of the 5-way previously supplied. The output plugs are now right angled instead of straight which saves a little space on your board and works better with pedals that have their jack mounted on the side. The plugs are spaced 300mm apart instead of 140mm which gives you more flexibility too. There is no change to the Powerstation kit price with the new cable at £54 UK delivered. The daisy chain cable price (when bought separately) changes from £6 to £8 UK delivered. Tuesday, June 19

We are now permanently out of stock of the Vox 847 Mello Wah (the base pedal has been discontinued by Vox) and our online shopping cart will not let you order this item. We hope to have a replacement model for this pedal available from Robert soon but in the meantime the Crybaby is an excellent alternative.

Keeley effects will be at the LGS in The Gig Rig Effects Lab, stand 174. Plug in and try the range of pedals through a number of vintage and boutique amps using a choice of guitars in the luxury of a big soundproof booth - no more fighting the show's massive background noise! Keeley pedals and George L's cables will be available to buy at the show. Have a great time! |
