Keeley: Mk3 Driver

robertkeeley.com/
Robert Keeley and Andy Timmons up to their old tricks again! The Mk3 Driver expands the theme set earlier by the Super AT MOD and gives it a couple of 'RK' twists with options to run the Tone either in full bandwidth (RK) or with a high-pass filter (AT); plus a choice of silicon (AT) or germanium (RK) clipping modes. It all adds up to a supremely versatile overdrive/boost pedal that might actually make you want more than one (Andy is on record as saying he will probably need three of them on his board..!) Is Keeley. Is good.

Great job Brett. As always. Keeley is the man.

[@Telewest792]

I have found that any thing Andy Timmons uses is usually pretty good so this pedal doesn’t surprise me a very good review from yourself to Mr Kingman ,your newish space is looking better every time i tune in keep the great reviews coming thanks from across the border.

[@danstringer7610]

Brett, thanks for the video. Your playing, as always, is just the best! I always enjoy your demos.

[@letch1529]

always the best pedal reviews.

[@homeworldmusic]

Excellent demo as always. I was tempted by the EHX LPB3 before seeing this, now I dunno, this is really sweet.

[@chrissavage1534]

Great playing and tones, Brett.

[@elaztec.aztecca]

Ditto!!

[@caezar..]

Awesome

[@user-mc2tu5zu6v]

Nice playing.. great box... I need one.

[@BradRocker]

Drive perfection ....that only Keeley can provide.

[@boabglen]

Hey Brett just wondering what patch cables you used for your boss es8 video? Trying to figure out what's best to use to get them fitting nicely

[@danstringer7610]

Thanks!

[@Simeon_Harris]

wow, that sounds mint!

[@MichaelSorensen-bl3ec]

That's a very versatile pedal indeed. Everything sounds good, regardless of the settings, but I do prefer the germanium mode. Nice guitar too. Checked out JJ's website, but can't figure out which pickups are the 'Chef's Special'. Can you give me a pointer?

[@BrettKingman]

They'll be available as my signature set quite soon, Michael. In the meantime you can order them from Ben at JJ's - www.jjsguitarpickups.com

[@jesusislukeskywalker4294]

cool stuff 😎

[@elaztec.aztecca]

Just bought a crate palomino v32 and a fender tele with dual humbuckers and the amp was a bid I won off eBay and thank goodness it shipped to me in NC from FL and arrived safely however the drive channel does not engage and I’m definitely in the market for a pedal exactly like this . How would you compare it to a tube screamer?

[@davidteissier5704]

Love it 💖💖💖💖🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@Mr.Steve-O]

Sweet and Creamy

[@rodolpheponthus2948]

Is this an alternative to the Tube Driver ? Since you say it's a take on the Boss Blues Driver, which itself is a take on the Butler Tube Driver ?
This, or the Boss for that Gilmour stuff ?

[@jamiemorgan4146]

In my opinion, every conceivable overdrive has been already developed.
Other than companies designing these for pure profit( I’m a capitalist too),
rather than adding something new to the pedal world, I find all of these
new offerings ridiculous .
I have at least 10 overdrive pedals and I’ll bet that you do too Brett..
