Robert Keeley FX, Interview & Factory Tour [Dan Into America!]
Join Dan as he gets a tour of Keeley HG
Welcome to the show! I recently spent a wonderful week in the US where I got to hang with my dear friends Robert Keeley and Andy Timmons. I spent a couple of days at the Keeley Electronics factory in Oklahoma and managed to grab the man himself for an interview and tour of the factory. It's a fascinating look at how one of the most influential pedal companies in the world does what it does. And make sure you wait to the end to hear THAT chord!
Enjoy the show!
