{"product_id":"keeley-dark-side-workstation-v2-232948","title":"Dark Side Workstation V2","description":"\u003ch3\u003eA \"Dark Side\" at the crossroads of classic Keeley pedals\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Keeley \u003cstrong\u003eDark Side\u003c\/strong\u003e is aimed directly at guitarists seeking that unique mix of \u003cstrong\u003esinging fuzz\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003epsychedelic modulations\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003etape echo-style delay\u003c\/strong\u003e that defined the golden era of progressive rock. In spirit, it's a condensed pedalboard: a fuzz inspired by seventies tones and, on the other side, a high-end digital section dedicated to modulations and echoes, all quickly adjustable to stay in the \"sweet spot\".\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFor whom, and in which styles?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Dark Side is ideal if you play \u003cstrong\u003erock\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eprog\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eblues rock\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eindie\u003c\/strong\u003e, or \u003cstrong\u003eambient\/shoegaze\u003c\/strong\u003e styles and want to switch from a saturated lead full of sustain to a textured rhythm without multiplying pedals. It suits both intermediate guitarists looking for an inspiring \"all-in-one\" pedal and seasoned musicians seeking a module dedicated to \u003cstrong\u003espatial sounds\u003c\/strong\u003e in studio or live.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn stage, the two separate footswitches allow you to treat the Dark Side as two pedals: you can activate only the fuzz, only the modulation\/delay, or stack both for very \"cinematic\" intensity builds. In the studio, the insert loop is a real plus to place, for example, a compressor, EQ, or booster exactly where you want in the chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eControls, modes, and connectivity: a texture machine\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe operation is straightforward: one \u003cstrong\u003eMaster Level\u003c\/strong\u003e and two sections. On the \u003cstrong\u003eFuzz\u003c\/strong\u003e side, you have a \u003cstrong\u003eFuzz\u003c\/strong\u003e (gain) control, a \u003cstrong\u003eFilter\u003c\/strong\u003e to shape brightness, and a \u003cstrong\u003eFlat \/ Full \/ Scoop\u003c\/strong\u003e switch to choose the EQ curve (from balanced to scooped, \"wall of sound\" style).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn the \u003cstrong\u003eMod\u003c\/strong\u003e side, the selector lets you navigate between effect families (\u003cstrong\u003eFlange\/Rotary\u003c\/strong\u003e textures, \u003cstrong\u003ePhase\/U-Vibe\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003eDelay\u003c\/strong\u003e). The knobs then become \"contextual\": \u003cstrong\u003eBlend\u003c\/strong\u003e (or \"Tape Head\" selection\/variation in delay mode), \u003cstrong\u003eDepth\u003c\/strong\u003e (or \u003cstrong\u003eTime\u003c\/strong\u003e), \u003cstrong\u003eRate\u003c\/strong\u003e (or \u003cstrong\u003eFeedback\u003c\/strong\u003e), and a dedicated \u003cstrong\u003eLevel\u003c\/strong\u003e for this section. Add to that an \u003cstrong\u003eexpression input\u003c\/strong\u003e to control parameters in real time, and an \u003cstrong\u003eeffects order switch\u003c\/strong\u003e to place the fuzz before or after the Mod section depending on the desired sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe sound\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Dark Side is crafted for sounds that \u003cstrong\u003ebreathe\u003c\/strong\u003e: a fuzz that can remain clear even with high gain, wide modulations (rotary\/vibe\/phaser\/flanger), and a multi-head delay with a \"tape echo\" feel, perfect to thicken a lead, create rhythmic responses, or set an ambient backdrop. The Flat\/Full\/Scoop switch immediately changes the guitar's place in the mix: \u003cstrong\u003eFull\u003c\/strong\u003e for a generous presence, \u003cstrong\u003eScoop\u003c\/strong\u003e for big chords and wide leads, \u003cstrong\u003eFlat\u003c\/strong\u003e to keep a natural balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRegarding inspirations and uses, the Dark Side is often associated with rock\/alternative universes and very expressive playing. Among the artists frequently mentioned with this pedal are \u003cstrong\u003eBrian Fallon\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eTyler Bates\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003eJustin Shekoski\u003c\/strong\u003e, proving that it's not limited to \"tribute\" but also works as a true sound creation pedal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical
