Description
Dive into the sonic landscape with the Keeley Bubble Tron Dynamic Flanger Phaser, a multi-effects pedal inspired by the legendary Frank Zappa. This pedal is not your average flanger or phaser. It's dynamic, responding to your pick attack and strength, creating a unique experience with each strum.
The Bubble Tron has three modes of operation - Flanger, Phaser, and Random Stepped Filter, each providing a unique sound. The Flanger section is inspired by the MicMix DynaFlanger, used by Zappa himself, and starts and stops based on your guitar's signal. The Phaser section, known as DynaMoPhase, is a dual-phaser, with one having a set speed and the other being dynamic.
The Bubble Tron's Filter section isn't dynamic but offers a wide range of sonic possibilities with its Shape Control. With the Sensitivity Control, you can shape the bandpass filter, producing incredible keyboard-like sounds.
Handcrafted in Edmond, Oklahoma, this pedal offers a new dimension of sound to guitarists. Plug in, explore, and create your own unique sonic universe with the Keeley Bubble Tron Dynamic Flanger Phaser.

An awsome modulation pedal with a lot of special and classic sounds.
I was looking for a pedal wich hase more than 1 modulations with small footprint. After a lot of searching I found this beauty. It adds some spice to my sound when it's needed.
Preferred Settings + Usage:
I use the bank 2 wich has the classic sounds. I tweaked the knobs the way they work well with all 3 modes so now with a flick of a switch I have an excellent flanger, phaser and envelope filter.

Keeley Bubbletron Envelope Flanger on Geordie's board. This replaced his Gonkulator around March 2019.
At 8:42 in the Reverb YouTube video titled "Modest Mouse's Gear Collection Is Totally Out There: First-Time Look at Ice Cream Party Studios," Isaac Brock is shown using the Keeley Bubble Tron Dynamic Flanger Phaser. The pedal can be seen above the POG with four knobs.
A picture shows that she uses a Bubble Tron. Also, she briefly mentions the pedal in 2019 interview with Premier Guitar.
I also have this crazy little pedal called a Bubble Tron. It’s this kooky flange, but it also does this weird, bubbly sound. It’s hard to describe. It randomly arpeggiates your guitar notes. So, I do that one just for fun, when we’re jamming and stuff.
“I start every film score by hunting for unique sounds. When I discovered the Loomer and Bubble Tron it was like a lightning bolt of inspiration. The color and flexibility of the Keeley pedals have really brought the guitar back into my scoring arsenal.”
