Description
Reverb is the effect that turns a bare guitar signal into a place—a room, a hall, a sheet of ringing metal—and Keeley’s Aurora packs that sense of space into a small, true-bypass box built for the end of your chain.
Under the hood it’s a 24-bit digital processor paired with a 100% dry analog path, so your unaffected tone stays untouched while the wet signal gets built separately and blended back in. Four controls keep it fast to dial in without sacrificing depth:
- Decay – sets how long the tail rings out, from a tight, believable room to a wash that keeps shimmering long after you’ve moved on to the next chord.
- Slapback – Keeley’s name for predelay, adjustable from 0 to 100ms. Push it up and staccato notes get a beat to breathe before the reverb arrives; zero it out for an immediate, wall-of-space effect.
- Warmth – works backwards from typical tone knobs: fully counterclockwise is brightest, and dialing up adds damping and darkness to the reverb tail.
- Blend – mixes wet into your dry analog signal, from a whisper of ambience to a fully drenched tail. Since Aurora is meant to sit last in the signal chain, this knob is your main shaping tool.
A toggle switch selects between Room, Plate, and Hall voicings—covering everything from a tight broom-closet decay to barn-sized reflections and full cathedral bloom, all without the footprint of a real echo chamber.
For pedalboard builders who want reverb that sounds convincing rather than gimmicky, and want it in a footprint that won’t crowd out the rest of the board, Aurora earns a permanent spot at the end of the chain.
