I’m sure it’s a good product, but the effects are interfering with the “alteration of the variant sounds”; dry tone would be the way to go. So would you probably make a demonstration without added effects??? I’d like to hear a version of it!!

Same concept of the xt-1 by Sim1 but here we have an analog engine while on the other we have digital profiling

I wasn’t aware anything like this was out, pretty cool concept, not sure if it replaces the real thing but there is a tonal variety there for sure. I dig it, rock on TK!!

Interesting piece of gear,thanks for the demo TK !

Look Pal, Cut down the fricken echo by 90% and play the same exact riff to demo the different settings otherwise, this is a useless demo. You could learn a thing or two from the Shane at the intheblues channel about demoing things. He gives good demo.

You need to calibrate the bypass and non-bypass output levels so that a loudness difference doesn’t affect the user’s perception of the sound.

I’ll admit I was a bit skeptical (but open-minded), but I like that Keyztone went more for subtlety instead of radical changes between settings and then giving you the controls to tweak things on the margins. I can totally see this being a great option for pre-setting a few particular sounds that you’d normally have to switch instruments for (e.g. you use a Les Paul for 90% of a set, but need a bright single-coil tone for a couple numbers) OR fixing a live sound issue where you and another guitar player are stepping over each other’s frequencies a bit and need to get a little bit of tonal separation without making crazy EQ changes.

My one question is this, and I may have missed it in the video if it was mentioned: when it’s modeling a particular pickup type I assume it’s only modeling a one-pickup sound and not a pair working together. In other words, if you’re going for a Strat-type sound with the Hot Texas or Bright Vintage settings, you’re only going to get a bridge, middle, or neck sound…you’re not going to get those 2 and 4 positions (bridge+middle or neck+middle).

Can you use this with a Strat?

Here’s the thing, I can see already some people saying that a strat is a strat, not just because if it’s single coil pickups, but the whole construction, scale, bridge, etc… and that’s what gives it its unique ton. And a Les Paul is also unique, and so are all other guitars. Yes, yes and yes! However, if you’re a touring musician that don’t have his/her own roadies, if you do recording sessions and needs a large pallet of tones very quickly, this pedal could be perfect and, like a tuner, should be on every pedalboard. It won’t replace all your favorite guitars, nor maybe even not your favorite pickups installed in your favorite guitar, but it can extend widely your tone from your current guitar. So if you just need a specific pickup for a single song during the whole concert, or if you need to find the perfect tone the producer is looking for, you can quickly cycle through the different models and see if it would fit better. When we see the cost of some high end pickup set such barenuckles, or even some custom shop Seymour, you could easily get this pedal, have it on your pedalboard and then be able to get more tones without even changing guitar. That, in my book, is priceless! My 2¢

Interesting product. I don’t think it achieves the effect it’s going for, but it isn’t bad. As a side note, though, I feel like you could have been using cleaner amp settings for this. A little reverb is fine, but having near-ambient reverb settings with delay really detracts from the demo. I appreciate that you posted this, though. Thanks, TTK!

Nice demo. I would like to hear another with more emphasis on the higher G, B, E strings for single lead use with some double stops in the higher register. I like what I’ve seen with the product. Thank you.

So, it’s a preamp pedal with presets labeled as pickup styles.

This is interesting but I’m not sure it came across
