yeah, i also noticed that in the 'reviews' bit there are comments on the Keeley SD1 from a Mr Tim Mills...and HJM has done some samples on the Keeley site, hasn't he? it's a small, small world...

It's a small world when it comes to good tone! :P

Don't be so cynical Willo.............sure Robert and I are friends but only through buying each others products.
We have Keeley UK on our stand at trade fairs and it works really well for both of us. Robert is a very clever guy, very genuine too and we both have similar mindsets when it comes to our respective companies-we both push for the best we can achieve and we also both work like dogs :lol:

i know Tim, i know! i didn't mean that to be sarcastic! Keeley and BK are all top-notch stuff, i was just surprised to see your name crop up in a Harmony Central review and i wasn't certain it was you - but like i say, no sarcasm intended! sorry for any misunderstanding

Sounds more like a bit of mutual respect going on to me.

Congrats Tim, Mr Keeley is highly respected for the tone of his pedals & modded pedals, so props from him is of no small order!
