Keeley Caverns V2

There you have it from Keeley Electronics, the Caverns Version 2 Delay and Reverb. Combined delays and reverbs get some cool modulation going.

Delay/Reverb: Keeley Caverns V2 ($140/$180). Total comes in at $450 brand new for all, significantly less if you're comfortable shopping used. Leaves you plenty of $$ left over for the board itself, power supply and cables. These are just my choices - there are plenty of budget-friendly options in each category.

Delay and reverb parts of the pedal are great and work just like in the YouTube videos, but I have a nasty defect of significant volume/frequency boost when the pedal is on. No idea how to fix it, and since I'm not currently in USA, I cannot send it to Keeley for repairs. Kinda sucks, but apart from...

Today I picked up the Keeley Caverns V2 delay/reverb for almost $30 off at guitar center. This was my first expensive pedal i’ve had that wasn’t a gift so this felt very satisfying to finally buy. It has tons of options for both sides and built in shimmer and vibrato which makes it almost like 4 pedals in one, and an extra knob labeled warmth on the reverb side. Overall this was worth every single penny and is my current favorite pedal.

I just got mine today after watching many reviews and demos on YouTube. The pedal is smaller than what I thought which is great to be honest? It has minor scratches, the nobs where whiter than they should, it looks amazing. From tone point of view the rever is fine, the shimmer sound is the best. Th...

Anyway, I headed back and swapped for the Keeley Caverns based on a few Youtube videos and crap, it does not disappoint. The normal verb, reverb mod and shimmer settings are lush, expansive and absolutely gorgeous sounding. The delay setting is right in that ms sweet spot I like at 650ms and the flutter/wow is cool but for now I like it best off.

This is a great-sounding, well-designed pedal. I am glad i bought it. I will use it a lot. I have exactly one gripe about it: It has no "wet only" option on either of the effects. The "blend" knob doesn't completely eliminate the dry signal at its furthest turned-clockwise extreme. Which, to me, is ...

I prefer the Keeley Caverns myself. I think it sounds fantastic, is even smaller, and even though it doesn't have nearly as many options, it is still pretty flexible. Plus it's around half the price, if that matters to you. Also, I wouldn't consider the Cosmonaut V2 a reverb / delay combo.

delay time is very limited, and the buttons produce very high mechanical sound when you step on them, should be soft buttons for such a premium product!, sounds are definitely nice though.

The EQD Avalanche Run and Dispatch Master are great pedals but my vote goes to the Keeley Caverns. The Caverns is simple but has a lil variety and it sounds good with either/both sides. I wish it had tap tempo though.
