At rehearsal tonight I discovered how hot sounding these pickups are I had to screw down the poles pieces to clean things up a bit and this seemed to do the trick nicely Definitely a rock sounding pickup with aggressive mids
-
PMT has them for £66 each
-
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
-
Update Keeley confirm it’s faulty Shop is taking it back and a new one supplied
-
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
-
I think Tidepool is a difficult colour to photo, looks green but it’s more blue. A very nice colour
-
Thanks Dave Ive reported it to Keeley and my local store so I think a replacement will be called for
-
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
-
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
-
I doubt a phone would pick it up as it’s low in sound and approx 1 sec of noise
-
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
-
Yes only the Keeley in use I think it’s faulty perhaps
-
I found the Ampeg Opto Comp was better but it sucked treble out slightly which wasn’t a bad thing swopping from fingers to pick ( it’s cheap as well )
-
Same question as Led goes from Red to Green it’s totally silent as the note dwells away ?
-
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
-
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 ?
-
Ok further update mines going back Ive noticed a faint noise when the compressor @ releases the signal IE Led goes red to green Very minor but it’s present and I’ve eliminated the power supply and tried batteries Such a shame as I liked it fine up to then !! For a £200 compressor I expected better
-
I’ve now completely returned to fingers I find a far fuller deeper sound is achieved which I just can’t improve on Its noticeable how better it sits in the band -
I love my CTM100 and since reverting to finger style I find the EQ works as ( all buttons out except bright ) bass around 9 o’clock , mids 12 o’clock and treble 9 o’clock I also dime the master and use the gain for level
-
Update .. I’ve taken the Spark Booster off and will just use the Keeley Sounds more natural and the tone of the CTM100 sounds better
-
It arrived today and it’s a very nice sounding compressor No colouration or loss of tone Compressor works very well as does Limiter Takes seconds to set up and the Green / Red led makes it simple to see what’s happening. I like it a lot and feel it will do just as required in front of my valve amp I m running a TC Spark Booster after it as a gentle clean boost and that seems to pair nicely especially with the CTM100 head

Thanks , the last picture was before the Dimarzio upgrade This is my other Player Series with black pickguard except it also has HiMass Bridge fitted
