Tone to die for... Andy's touch and voicings are always at a higher level. Never disappoints - always stuns. One of the best on the planet... full stop.
I met you at the Iridium a few years back and you absolutely are amazing. More soul than a soul itself. Hope you come to North Jersey sometime soon. Would love to see you amaze me again. Your personality... well that's just amazing too! Love everything you have ever played! Thank You for your awesome music Andy! @@andytimmonsguitar
Does anyone else have tone like Andy? So pure! I met him at NAMM in '08. He was such a nice guy. Humble. Down to earth. Friendly and instantly likeable.
It's a *LOVE FEST!* Andy seems like the swellest dude. Always great to hear him play, and when he speaks about the music or the products, it's always with such grace and 'giving.' Lovely.
I'm always in awe of what comes out that guitar whenever Andy does his thing. One of the most expressive players out there. Definitely going to be adding this and the Halo to my board in the future
I met Andy several years ago. He treated me great and too, the time to must talk to me during one of his breaks. He is an amazing player, but also a super nice guy.
It can have that chime to it for sure, even though the two circuits are very different electrically. But sonically it can cover that when the Tone switch is set for AT.
Thank you for sharing this tremendous musician and you, Andy, just to tell you that I am a guitarist, I am 66 years old and I have admired you for many years... Greetings and hugs to both of you from Buenos Aires, Capital of my country, Argentina....
That's what it is. When people strive together to reach a goal that rises above each individual aspiration. Got my Halo. Paying real attention to this driver. I am speaking as one who has a KOT and a Henderson modded RC Booster.
Gracias por compartir a este musico tremendo y a ti andy solo decirte que soy guitarrista tengo 66 años y te admiro desde hace muchos años ...Saludos y abrazo a los dos desde Buenos Aires Capital de mi pais Argentina....
The pedal is perfect, imo. Sweet and articulate, not too fizzy, but it also gives you all the growl, bark and scream you could ask for. I've been using my non-stop for the last few days and it's already an ESSENTIAL part of my pedal board. Highest recommendation, and congrats to both Robert Keeley and Andy Timmons! Reply
I currently use Andy Wood's Wampler Gearbox OD because I want two ODs but keep my pedalboard small. I would LOVE this Keeley pedal in a dual OD format so I can have a rhythm OD and a lead OD. I'm happy with the Gearbox since I play in a classic rock cover band and it gives me ordinary '70s rhythm nasty and soaring '80s lead tone, but I'd like to have a small blues pedalboard with this pedal.
I'm amazed at how well the halo behaves. when the gain is up it's not swimming in echo, but when the gain is low, it's still got like almost the same echo level. I don't know how he does that when it's not 4cm!?
That is the Halo dual echo sound we created for him. Echoes fad into a reverb wash, or halo, and they almost duck behind the notes you are currently play. It's a really nice effect.
I love this. Love Andy’s playing and his dynamic tone. People like him and Don Carr never sound anything but glorious no matter what gear they play. The BD-2 is my favorite pedal and is the pedal that inspired me to pick up a guitar.
The Blues Driver has been my favorite overdrive since I first picked one up in the late 90s. I missed out on the Super AT Mod, so this was an immediate purchase for me. Can't wait to give it a whirl. Even if I won't sound nearly as good as Andy.
I just bought the Muse Driver, it really sounds and reacts like yours in the video, it's a real joy to enjoy your awesome pedal! ♥️😽 Thank you very much Master Andy, God bless you ! ♥️😽🙏💝❤️💖
I discovered Andy a few months ago and was blown away. Such a humble guy and so artistic and clean. Trying to get a little of his tone when I play clean, seems he uses mostly the neck pickup, anyone know? I’m usually EVH or Metallica distorted so clean is another tone I’m chasing.
Use your volume, higher gain bring the volume on your guitar down and tame it. Roll it up when u need that extra gain. That’s how I play works great I’ve got some really great tones doing this on higher gain pedals or amps.
Awesome pedal, as always from the great Robert Keeley. Yet let's all face the fact that a true master like Andy Timmons can absolutely make a Korg Miku sound amazing. XD
I have the super at mod and absolutely adore it. And the recording I’ve done with it, every producer that hears it in comparison with anything else, they always tell me to go back to “the red one.” So maybe I’ll pick this one up because I’m running a big board and a small board so I could probably keep one on each board.
I just got a BD-2W for xmas and it beat out my Klone and KOT and Bonsai as my preferred OD. I gotta try this now... smh 😔 Just when I thought my search was over 😅
l année derniere j ai tout changé , j ai tout vendu et j ai acheté 3 pedales d overdrive , une Nobels OD1 , une vertex steel string MK2 qui est en permanence allumée , et une vertex Ultra phonix MK2 , je ne regardes plus le reste des pedales , et si j osais , je vendrais presque la Nobels .....mais je la garde car c est quand meme une sacré pedale .....mais les deux vertex sont absolument fantastique .
How close are Andy's pickups to the strings!? LOL, those Dimarzio Cruisers sure do look like almost about to touch the strings. So much of Andy's tone is on the Man Himself.
I wish I would’ve know that before I bought the black one. But I bought it so quickly, I didn’t check into it. Love your pedals. The Halo is unbelievable as well!
It really shouldn't, the core tone is the exact same. I hope you don't have regret for getting something that we believe in so much so, that we are continuing with the exact same central circuit.

Andy Timmons. Hello Kitty guitar plugged into a dumpster.... I'll bet my next paycheck it'll still sound fantastic...
There's no such thing as 'the best tone in the world,' but Andy Timmons has it.
I concour completely!
Everything about this dude is right. Got to love him.
nah.
Tone to die for... Andy's touch and voicings are always at a higher level. Never disappoints - always stuns. One of the best on the planet... full stop.
Too kind...thanks so much ❤

My board is slowly turning into a Keeley/Andy Timmons tribute board. They both have such a good ear for tone.
Times like these makes me miss the @+ I sold like an idiot
I mean, they are all homeruns
Same!
Guitar - Ibanez RT
Amp - lonestar tweed
Pedals- definitely all known Timmons pedals 😅
mi board too!

Dude comes out with a new drive every Tuesday. I have the Super AT MOD and absolutely LOVE IT. Rock on, boys.
Andy’s tone and feel is insane🔥
I'm always in awe of what comes out that guitar whenever Andy does his thing. One of the most expressive players out there. Definitely going to be adding this and the Halo to my board in the future
Thanks so much for the kind words!
I’ve known Andy for many years now. Great human being.
One of my favourite guitarists of all time, I really hope I get to see him live one day!
Andys bad notes sound better than anyone else's good notes. Great playing, great sounding pedal, great vid.
Andy just drips music. That pedal sounds great!
Thanks Shawn...means a lot coming from you!
I met Andy several years ago. He treated me great and too, the time to must talk to me during one of his breaks. He is an amazing player, but also a super nice guy.
I could just watch Andy play all day!
The AT drive mode has almost like this bluesbreaker style chime to it, love it!
It can have that chime to it for sure, even though the two circuits are very different electrically. But sonically it can cover that when the Tone switch is set for AT.
Thank you for sharing this tremendous musician and you, Andy, just to tell you that I am a guitarist, I am 66 years old and I have admired you for many years... Greetings and hugs to both of you from Buenos Aires, Capital of my country, Argentina....
15:04 That chord progression is godlike!
Killer video! I'm getting one of these. Don, I'm really liking how you interact with Andy here. Top work!
It was a terrific day! Much excitement was had in every direction!
Great overview. Don and Andy seem so genuine and mesh well together. Killer tones and good vibes on this production. You guys nailed it!
Stairway to Gilligan...ROFLMAO! I'm a lucky dude...I will be studying with Andy at the Guitar Workshop Plus in Ft. Lauderdale next month!

Thank you very much! It does have less fizziness in the design! You want the bark and growl, but not the ice-pick fizz....
Andy’s always so thorough! I bought the halo but it wasn’t for me, it’s still a great delay. I love his vibe! Cool dude!
I currently use Andy Wood's Wampler Gearbox OD because I want two ODs but keep my pedalboard small. I would LOVE this Keeley pedal in a dual OD format so I can have a rhythm OD and a lead OD.

The Muse Driver works amazingly well as a boost for your lead tone!
@@andytimmonsguitar AFTER the Gearbox OD?
Shout out to Dan from TPS ,Andy got me too 😢! With" here lies the heart"! On your show ! Btw the pedal sounds fantastic!
“ Tone Quest “ - love it!

so what's this circuit supposed to be
Beast level player… always loved Andy.
I just bought the Muse Driver, it really sounds and reacts like yours in the video, it's a real joy to enjoy your awesome pedal! ♥️😽
Thank you very much Master Andy, God bless you ! ♥️😽🙏💝❤️💖
I love that pick attack. And the presence it has
In the beginning of the video, I kept expecting Mr. Timmons to play Mr. Beck’s “Where were you”.
Andy i an extraordinardinary
phenominal guitar player
love his sound his tone
and his playing.
Everything Robert and Andy put out yiu know is going to sound killer period 👌
I just love when Andy shows up to show Don his toys!
It’s the perfect guitar sound
I'm known for having an itchy trigger finger, but buying this pedal is probably the fastest decision I've ever made! 😂
What a tone he has , love it.
I discovered Andy a few months ago and was blown away. Such a humble guy and so artistic and clean. Trying to get a little of his tone when I play clean, seems he uses mostly the neck pickup, anyone know? I’m usually EVH or Metallica distorted so clean is another tone I’m chasing.
I'm a recent fanboy as well. No idea what planet I've been on all these years to only just come across him.
@@Steve-ih7dg you and me both…
It's a Dimarzio Cruiser, bridge model. Putting it in the neck position gives it the brightness that neck pickups tend to lack.
@@senorchivo90 Thank you 🙏
Use your volume, higher gain bring the volume on your guitar down and tame it. Roll it up when u need that extra gain. That’s how I play works great I’ve got some really great tones doing this on higher gain pedals or amps.
Crazy good neck pickup tone.
Need a 'Muse' 'Micro Board'_ endless presets!' 🤯 This video is sooo cool! That Tone! 🥲🎼🎸
This works even better than just making more Super AT Mods. Killer sounds. I gotta get one.
THANK YOU!
I honestly think I've just enjoyed that 24:;00 min more the the last 6 or 7 full bands that rehearsed in my studio over the last 6months.
Thumbs up for Andy!
Another pedal that I do not need but I will still buy. Edit: just did.
Awesome pedal, as always from the great Robert Keeley. Yet let's all face the fact that a true master like Andy Timmons can absolutely make a Korg Miku sound amazing. XD
sur la planche il n y aura bientot plus que du Keeley .....
Andy has truly perfected his wammy bar technique akin to Jeff Beck but in his own style.
Such great feel
So much for loyalty to the Blues Driver that was on his board for 1,000 years.
It’s a pedal not a person.
Got my Muse OD .. it’s wayyy cool.! Has that great glassy tone… and a few other features.. I love it.!
I have the super at mod and absolutely adore it. And the recording I’ve done with it, every producer that hears it in comparison with anything else, they always tell me to go back to “the red one.” So maybe I’ll pick this one up because I’m running a big board and a small board so I could probably keep one on each board.
They will pair very well. I love hearing that the producers say go back to "the red one" 😍
Pure magic!
Love the sounds ❤
Andy is the only player that i can listen for the whole day
That pickguard is hanging on for dear life! argh
Bought, love it. Never leaves the board (like the HALO).
firsthand showcase signature gear count me in for sure
It's Great Great Grandmodder!
grand nephew of Rip Von Modder
Andy can make a box with rubber bands sound good…
I'm gonna have to try that next time I'm over at his house. I'ma bring him a six-pack of Oklahoma rubber bands and a cigar box with a big hole in it.
Remember folks: tone is all in your hands. Andy could make any pedal sound incredible
I’m waiting impatiently for my MUSE..!!😩🤣
I hope you have it by now!
@@RobertKeeleyTV 👍🏼❤️
Andy’s a badass
The closest I am to Andy’s playing is owning the same guitar strap :D
It's a good strap!! 😎
I missed out on the AT supermod... I hope this one isn't a limited!
According R.K. himself, the MUSE is 'NOT' a limited run offering.
So you have some time, well at least until they try to top it!
I think I've learned my lesson. Leave good enough alone, or raise the parking rent ;-) @@clemguitar63
How are you getting such a great sound without a buffer pedal? Great sound
I just got a BD-2W for xmas and it beat out my Klone and KOT and Bonsai as my preferred OD. I gotta try this now... smh 😔 Just when I thought my search was over 😅
l année derniere j ai tout changé , j ai tout vendu et j ai acheté 3 pedales d overdrive , une Nobels OD1 , une vertex steel string MK2 qui est en permanence allumée , et une vertex Ultra phonix MK2 , je ne regardes plus le reste des pedales , et si j osais , je vendrais presque la Nobels .....mais je la garde car c est quand meme une sacré pedale .....mais les deux vertex sont absolument fantastique .

What does RK stand for? Richie Kotzen? Hehe. Andy has the best effects ever and even pickups.
How close are Andy's pickups to the strings!? LOL, those Dimarzio Cruisers sure do look like almost about to touch the strings. So much of Andy's tone is on the Man Himself.
Were you guys using a neve preamp while mic'ing his cab? The pedal sounds amazing!
We were using Audient EVO 16 interface preamps. Two Mesa cabs (powered by two Mesa Lone Star amps) were mic'ed with Royer 121 mics. Full stereo rig.
Thanks Dave!!!!!
Another overdrive pedal!
and another overdriven bunch of more on the way too ;-) It's The Golden Age
Grande guitarman ANDY o Brasil te ama LOVE YOU what a beautiful sound 😍😍🤩🤩🤩
Wrong naming. It’s not Keeley muse driver but Killing mywallet driver😅
Waaalll... killer player, period.
Tone King!
No matter what I buy, this man is a monster, and I will never play like him, even with his signature gear. 😊❤
Do they come in white as well?
I still don't know how Andy gets that snap at the beginning of every note.
Tip of my index finger and pick together may be part of it
@@andytimmonsguitarMagic!
Thank you, sir. Much love.
Super❤
Andy rules
sounds amazing but they should have make it a double switch pedal like the jhs at+. Just too many good sounds for a single channel 😅
Does it come in white and black?
Yes, there is a Sweetwater Exclusive in a super clean white with red logo.
I wish I would’ve know that before I bought the black one. But I bought it so quickly, I didn’t check into it. Love your pedals. The Halo is unbelievable as well!
which instrumental on 15:00?
“Our Requiem”
Is Andy using reverb or is everything coming from the Halo?
Does it High gain
This sounds awesome. Of course it's Andy's hands as well, lol
I notice he doesn't have his compressor on the board!
Look to the cookie!
Fun fact run the video on half speed and it sounds like Ace Frehley talking instead of AT 😁
Two guys with the same hairdresser😂!
❤
💚🎸
It needs a tone knob titled "Andy"....and just turn it up.
What is the white pedal ?
Please Ibanez, PLEASE, send him already a new pickguard ! This one has been broken for almost 5 years now. Are there no A.R. guys?
So, will this make me regret having just purchased the new AT Mod? Argh!
It really shouldn't, the core tone is the exact same. I hope you don't have regret for getting something that we believe in so much so, that we are continuing with the exact same central circuit.
Is that a hot rodded BD-2
It even rhymes with Blues 😂
it is indeed! Interesting changes to key parts of the circuit that give you new tones.
@RobertKeeleyTV I have had a Waza since Christmas, and it's my new favorite OD. I've added this one to my list.
