For a £200 compressor I expected better Oooh that's not good. Mine is perfectly silent. Sorry to hear about this. Every company will have the occasional problem and perhaps you've just been unlucky.

Dave It’s silent in operation as long as Red led is lit ( threshold met ) it’s when it flips from Red to Green there is a tiny bit of static noise present. I think at loud volumes it would be noticeable ie sustaining a long note as it dwells etc Can someone try theirs to see if they hear the same ?

thodrik Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Just tried mine. Pretty much silent. Might just be a defective unit which is annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmccombe7 Posted February 26, 2023 Author Share Posted February 26, 2023 Checked mine and its totally silent. No matter what I do with it there's no noise. Here's my settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's my settings. So if you see the Led go from Red to green you hear no “ noise” ?? Its very subtle but on mine it’s there for sure and I’m guessing it’s faulty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same question as Led goes from Red to Green it’s totally silent as the note dwells away ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thodrik Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Yepp, totally silent. I’m very picky about artefacts in the sound signal so if there was any kind of noise then I would have got rid of the pedal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thodrik Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Could it perhaps be a signal chain buffering issue? I sometimes had bother with other non true bypass pedals and faulty patch cables having an effect on the sound. Though I appreciate that if the pedal is the only thing in the chain then the fault is likely with the pedal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes only the Keeley in use I think it’s faulty perhaps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once got a faulty Trace Elliot combo. Completely died under warranty. Sent it to TE for repair. Got sent a brand new unit with a repair slip for old one containing four words ‘Cause of fault: death’. Hopefully you get it sorted or a refund.

BassAdder60 Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 (edited) Just tried it bass, cable into Pedal then headphones so I could tell it wasn’t amp related Same noise present so yep either mine is a noisy model or it’s faulty Back it goes Edited February 26, 2023 by BassAdder60 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt a phone would pick it up as it’s low in sound and approx 1 sec of noise 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassAdder60 Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Going to try it at rehearsal this week as it’s so minor if only just detectable it may be something else ? At volume with the band will be the full test .. I do like it a lot as it’s neutral sounding and the threshold Red led is a great feature to enable setting 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassAdder60 Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 I’ve messaged Keeley in the USA and they are checking see video of issue ?? I’ve alerted the store too Have a listen, do you guys hear it ? Listen when it goes Red to Green IMG_3927.MOV 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont get that on mine and i tried mine at a decent volume at home just to check for you. I dont think it would be noticed in a band set up but it would annoy me that something isn't right and if something is failing now you dont know how or if that will worsen as time goes on.

Dave Thanks Dave Ive reported it to Keeley and my local store so I think a replacement will be called for 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thodrik Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Yes, I hear it too. I don't get it on mine either. If I did then I wouldn't be happy and would have done the same. Hopefully you get it sorted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmccombe7 Posted February 27, 2023 Author Share Posted February 27, 2023 From what i read about Keeley they are a very well respected company and hopefully your dealer will simply replace under warranty. I wouldn't want a repair done either. As its new you are entitled to a replacement unit. Keep us posted how you get on. Dave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassAdder60 Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 (edited) Ok Keeley have heard the video and noise. It’s gone to engineering for review but definitely looks incorrect They said they would respond in 24hrs I’m pleased as it will mean a new correct replacement from the store Edited February 27, 2023 by BassAdder60 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed you have a replacement soon. Think its worth sticking with the Keeley as they do seem to make good gear but like everything electronic you will get a faulty unit once in a while. Yours must have been a Mon morning hangover unit. Good luck Dave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassAdder60 Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 I did manage to try it in anger with the band and it’s great I was getting it as a Limiter but I think I prefer it as a mild compressor set as below. Very natural sounding and stopped the peaks nicely 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moley6knipe Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Agreed. A shade under 4:1 sounds best to my ears too. It really is a great thing. I use a C4 synth so it can get a bit unruly at times. The Keeley plus a HPF saves my speaker from the worst of it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
