Keeley Electronics Halo Core Custom Shop High Fidelity Delay Pedal (NEW)
The Keeley HALO Core is the latest evolution of the award-winning HALO delay, delivering Andy Timmons’ legendary dual echo tones in a streamlined, easy-to-use pedal. Powered by Keeley’s advanced DSP technology, HALO Core provides pristine stereo sound, versatile delay options, and a simplified control layout designed for both stage and studio use.
Whether you’re chasing Andy’s iconic modulated dual echo “HALO” effect, rhythmic quarter-note delays, or lush dotted eighth note textures, HALO Core brings the magic of decades of tone-crafting straight to your pedalboard.
Key Features of the HALO Core
- Three Delay Modes – Andy’s signature HALO dual echo, Quarter Note, and new Dotted Eighth for rhythmic textures
- True Stereo I/O – immersive stereo sound for modern rigs
- Switchable Trails or True Bypass – choose between natural delay decay or silent bypass operation
- All-Wet or All-Dry Modes – perfect for both straight-into-amp and effects loop setups
- Dedicated Tap Tempo Footswitch – lock in perfect timing on the fly
- Enhanced Infinite Hold – sustain notes endlessly for ambient soundscapes
- Alt Controls – tweak High-Pass Filter, Delay Tone, and Tape-Style Saturation for refined shaping
The Sound of Andy Timmons’ HALO
For years, Andy Timmons kept his mysterious HALO effect a secret: a dual echo sound blending modulation, compression, and tape-style saturation to create lush rhythmic delays that dance like reverb diffusion. Now, with the Keeley HALO Core, those same textures are accessible to every player.
Notes bloom, shimmer, and intertwine rhythmically, perfect for ambient swells, soaring leads, or rhythmic textures that add dimension to any mix.
Why Choose the HALO Core?
The HALO Core offers studio-grade sound quality in a grab-and-go pedal that’s simple enough for beginners yet powerful enough for professionals. With intuitive controls, stereo operation, and Keeley’s signature craftsmanship, this pedal is built to inspire.
“This new version has a third mode with the dotted eighth setting, which for me is the ultimate division for creating great sounding tap tempo textures. Robert Keeley and his incredible team continually strive to make better and better quality pedals, and this Halo Core is the best sounding Halo yet!”

We also have four guitar booths, two soundproofed drum booths, an in-house Guitar Workshop and a unique monitor-auditioning studio designed by acoustician Andy Munro.
Next door is our café and complex of rehearsal and tuition studios available for hire seven days a week, where we also run regular workshops, instrumental lessons, demo events and recording sessions. Soon to be added is a professional recording studio and control room.
