Keeley Parallax - Spatial Generator

This pedal has a thoroughly thought out design! Everything is laid out sensibly with easy access to each parameter. Many knobs, but no clutter.
With a little practice, you are able to dial in anything from simple background reverb and/or delay to crazy self-oscillating madness to deep wells of ambience. The pedal is very flexible and, in my humble opinion, almost perfect! My only want is perhaps a longer delay time. 350 ms is sometimes a bit short for some applications that I want. On the other hand, the short delay times from 30 ms offer pleasing chorus tones. Each individual effect has its own blend control knob which is an important but sometimes overlooked feature. Robert Keeley is a master! Buy this little gem!

I am a big shoegaze fan and I am always on the look out for a good reverse reverb pedal. The loomer and realizer are very expensive so I was excited when Keeley released this pedal with the added delay side. In practice I found the key feature to be disappointing. The reverse reverb has a maximum of 50% wet which was not the sound I was looking for and also the settings did not allow me to set the predelay at the level I wanted. I spent a long time tweaking with the 3 reverbs and delays in combination and would often get close to the effect I wanted but alas I still felt frustrated. This is entirely subjective and your experience may differ but I wished it had more depth and focus on sounds I want to explore so my search continues.
