Keeley Electronics and Andy Timmons have collaborated on the signature Nocturne 3-Mode Modulated Reverb, reported on December 13, 2025¹. It is a full-stereo reverb pedal that occupies a similar housing to Timmons' other signature Keeley pedal, the Halo Core².

The Keeley Nocturne has three modes, Spring, Plate and Nocturne, selectable via a push button with LEDs showing which is active². The Nocturne voicing derives from Andy's Halo Echo and is reimagined as a reverb¹; MusicRadar describes it as adapted from Keeley's Halo algorithm². Gearnews describes Nocturne as a combination of ambient reverb and delay, roughly equivalent to Timmons' signature sound from Halo, Spring as the familiar surf reverb sound and Plate as the thick, soupy EMT 140 sound³. MusicRadar says the Plate algorithm is based on a stereo tube plate reverb that has been a prized piece of hardware at the Austin City Limits studio since Timmons was young².

Controls are Tone, Level, Decay and Modulation, with dual footswitches and top-mounted jacks². Guitar Pedal X lists Tone with a secondary HPF function, Decay with a secondary Pre-Delay function, and a Reverb Mode control with a Hold: Alt function¹. The pedal is MIDI compatible, has an expression pedal input, stereo input and output, selectable true or buffered bypass, trails on and off, and stereo operation as wet/dry or wet-only²³⁴. Delicious Audio reports a Preset switch recalls a stored setting for each mode, with a bi-color LED showing live (blue) or stored (red) states, and MIDI access to up to 72 presets⁴. Gearnews says the pedal is made in the USA³; Delicious Audio says it is handbuilt in Oklahoma, USA⁴.

Guitar Pedal X describes the Core enclosure as having RCA Bakelite knobs and a larger footprint than Keeley's compact format¹. Robert Keeley calls it the company's flagship reverb²:

Prices differ between reports. Guitar Pedal X gives $399 via the Keeley FX Webstore and imminently international dealers¹. MusicRadar gives $269². Gearnews gives $361 from Thomann, and separately lists $325.00³.
