Keeley Seafoam Plus Chorus Pedal Reviews
Keeley claims the Seafoam Plus tri-mode chorus pedal packs "a new style of chorus that actually sounds right." A big claim, but it's hard to argue with once you've put this versatile pedal through its paces. It uses Keeley's Automatic Double Tracking (ADT) developed for their Double Tracker pedal to create what Keeley calls "True Chorus," which creates second and third voices with slightly different timing and pitch characteristics. The result is lush and wide, even more so when you dial in reverb with the Space knob. And with selectable voicings optimized for either guitar or bass, the Keeley Seamfoam Plus is one of the most versatile chorus pedals you'll find.

In a world full of choruses…
Simple and to the point. It gives me the chorus sound that I have in my head, in Seafoam mode. Vintage setting with the DIP switch and I'm all set. Rarely do I come across a Keeley product I don't like. Great pedal!
Just right
I like my modulation effects to be subtle. Most chorus pedals I looked at have way more functions than I need or not enough. I pretty much keep it in "Seafoam" mode, which is the standard chorus effect. In this mode the Space knob functions as tone control. This, combined with the mix control allows you to dial in a smooth non-digital sounding tone. Some of the knobs take on other functions in the ADT and Dual Chorus modes. These yield interesting effects for occasional use. Not necessary for me but fun to have them there and doesn't result in extra knobs or the need to download anything.
Great pedal
I am not a lover of most chorus but like a bit of rotary or warble - this allows me to get "natural" rich sounds like that with added versatility of an ADT and experimental Seafoam mode. Cool pedal. The mix control is useful because you can get a non-overwhelming sound.
Works well with bass
For some reason I really like this effect more on bass then
I do on gutair now there is a switch in the back that you will have to move over in order to engage bass mode I do also wonder if it can be ran with out switching it over I'm also still getting used to the pedal as well. But I wanted to have kinda of a all in one type of thing
Fantastic!
This is the sound I was looking for. I have now sold my other chorus pedal which shall remain nameless. This pedal gives me great chorus that amazingly sounds IN TUNE! That's always been my complaint with chorus, it usually sounds like you're doing something wrong. This is a very sweet sound that sits perfectly in the mix, just don't leave it on if you're slapping lol, that is the only thing that wasn't pleasant.
Review for Bass
I got this pedal almost exclusively to use on bass. I already have my chorus needs covered for guitar, but I did try it out on my guitar setup, too. Long story short, it sounds awesome with either setup. This review is going to be short, but focus on the bass mode.
I like my bass chorus to have a fairly slow rate, sometimes kinda low in the mix, sometimes pretty wet. The Seafoam+ sounds great both ways. You can control the actual low-end in the mix with the Space knob on one of the settings. There's another setting that includes a bit of flanger and totally reminds me of Tool.
I use a Spector Legend 4 and Peavey amp. The Seafoam now goes into a VT Sansamp and those are the only two pedals I currently use. The band I play in does a lot of 80's, 90's, and original rock. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with the pedal and love the fact that it can easily work for bass and guitar.
Great Sounding Chorus!
Have not fully explored this pedal's capabilities or alternate sounds. Just got it into my pedal chain and tried it out. What a beautiful chorus sound (Seafoam setting)! Definitely a step above and beyond any of the other chorus pedals I have had through the years. Looks extremely solidly built as well. My first Keeley pedal. They did a great job on this one.
Really good sounding chorus pedal!
I have been looking for a good chorus pedal that doesn't cause distorted tone when cranked up on the clean channel of my amp. I have been using EVH 5150 chorus which sounds really good but when the volume gets cranked it clips and becomes distorted. I've tried all I know to fix the problem. In the fx loop and in front of the amp in different places in the chain to no avail. Might be my amp all EVH products are top notch coming from a man that changed guitar playing forever. So I tried the Seafoam pedal and it seems to be exactly what I was needing for the type of music we play in church. My wife even says it sounds cool. Haven't had the chance to use it on stage yet do to COVID restrictions in our area but used it for several hours at home and it sounds great. The ADT mode works best for me. When you engage it no rise in volume or cut in volume stays true which I like. Never used Keeley products before but thanks to my friends at Sweetwater especially my good friend Nick Hammer whom to me feels like apart of the family I'm enjoying my Keeley pedal. Thanks Nick!!!
Love this pedal.
I love this pedal. I started off looking for a simple chorus, so glad to stumble upon this one.
So many voicings possible, heck it's even a hoot to put vocals through.
Thank you Sweetwater and Keeley
Amazing Pedal for Bass
I've tried many, many chorus pedals looking for that new wave 80's/90's tone. This pedal can absolutely nail that but has much more. Once again Dustin at Sweetwater is the best! Highly recommend this for anyone looking for an outstanding sounding chorus with lots of options, very easy to find a musical and inspiring tone. 5 stars, pedal delivers as advertised and exceeded my expectations in terms of sound and versatility.
Great Pedal
Keeley Always makes top notch pedals. It's a great chorus pedal but has a few other Unique tones you can dial-in which makes it very versatile. Very pleased!
So Sick
Got multiple comments about my tone the first night I played with this. Very high quality. Great for open chords.
Another great pedal from Keeley.
This pedal is excellent...lush chorus...with tons of options.
Best chorus on the market.
As a reggae player chorus is very important to me. Ive searched the planet for a pedal that can do what this pedal does, not even counting the vibrato, tremolo and unequaled quality of build that the seafoam delivers. Fact is, when it comes to pedals Keeley is top notch for a reason. They sound better, as in they actually sound like the pedal, not the white noise other pedals give you. Many times its studio quality at its finest.
I would not hesitate to purchase the Seafoam, or any Keely pedal for that matter.
Sweet Chorus!
Finally, a chorus pedal that is both versatile and functional for my bass needs. The variable settings and 3 way toggle switch turns out to be quite usable for my broad musical styles and taste.
I've taken this on stage a few times and am very pleased with the sounds! Fortunately, I had time to experiment at home for a week before giving it the road test.
I've used this on my 4,5,6 string basses and it passed with flying colors. Happy with the purchase.
