Keeley Electronics‘ version 2 of their take on the Tape Echo style Delay with Reverb, called Caverns, blends their two most popular time-based circuits.
V2 builds on the old Caverns pedal by giving players a more open and logical control layout and more space between the foot switches.
For an analog stompbox, the Keeley Caverns V2 is packed with features:
- Three reverb modes: Spring, Modulation and Shimmer.
- Up to 650ms of delay
- Three-way switchable modulation for adding wow and flutter to the repeats.
- Trails option gives you the freedom to create huge caverns of sounds and let them ring out even after you turn the pedal off.
This is one of the top devices in our article about the best Reverb + Delay Combo Pedals.

The Caverns Delay Reverb V2 dual-effect pedal combines delay and reverb for the perfect end to any pedal board. It features Keeley’s analog-style tape delay with modulation options. The 650ms of warm delay combine with Spring, Shimmer or Modulated Reverb. Caverns now comes with a True-Bypass or Trails option. Because of its small and compact design, the New Caverns is a perfect fit for any fly-rig or small board where you have tight space requirements. The New V2 features Keeley’s most popular time-based effects, blended perfectly via a design fine-tuned for over 2 years. Simply put, it will be an amazing addition to any board.
The Reverb side of the pedal features 3 cavernous sounds:
Spring Mode – Blackface Amp style spring reverb with F Style Tremolo
Modulation Mode – Choral modulation to the reverb for a huge, cavernous space
Shimmer Mode – Reverb with emphasis on octave-up voices in the reverb trails
