Keeley Electronics - Mk3 Driver Overdrive and Distortion with Andy Timmons

- The Mk3 Driver - Andy Timmons Full Range Overdrive is an overdrive workstation that allows you to orchestrate everything from a clean boost to a treble supercharger, a chimey tube-amp overdrive to a square-wave, germanium fuzz generator and more. This pedal combines a three-control blues driver circuit with two switches for the voicing Drive and Tone characteristics. Robert and Andy developed these switches to give players a broad range of drive tones. The Drive toggle engages two germanium diodes for a smoother, slightly compressed drive. Switch to Andy’s clipping style for a brighter and more articulate attack. Every part of the circuit has been optimized for tone and the demanding needs of a recording and touring artist such as Andy Timmons. Simply adding the Mk3 Driver to your pedalboard will likely make your rig sound better. This pro sounding overdrive can be switched between true-bypass and buffered bypass at any time.
**NOTE: The Mk3 Driver is different in name only from the 'Drive Formerly Known As..". The parts, build, and quality of the Mk3 Driver is exactly the same, we just had to change the name.**

My gawd Andy needs to live forever and play like this.
Renamed but still the same under the hood, such a great drive! 😎
Thx man!
Since returning to playing guitar, this is the most inspiring pedal that I have used.
This is the first gear demo video that I've listened to multiple times just to hear the playing.
Andy is such a kind soul. What a gifted gentleman. Robert, love the pedal and I just might have to buy this version to sit alongside my "MDriver"
I recently bought two of Robert's older pedals and they are truly the most inspiring pedals I have ever owned/played.
That really is a great sounding and expressive drive.
Sounds absolutely amazing !
Monster tones from the only two people who could make them.
I love watching this video. Seeing Robert’s face as he’s watching Andy makes me happy. That’s the look I have when I’m admiring my children.
I just ordered one from zzounds and I actually cancelled it and reordered it because I was confused on the models. I had the muse originally ordered! Dang! Should have kept my original order! I’m a big Andy Timmons fan and that would have been a cool piece of Andy Timmons/ keeleys history to have.
Who in there right mind could sue Robert and Andy, Two of the nicest guys! Congrats on the pedals and thanks for sharing it with us mere mortals.
I doub't it went anywhere near actual litigation. Just seems like a simple to fix copyright issue
Don't think they were sued but most probably they received a notification from Torpack Limited which is basically the band "MUSE" (or their lawyers) about the trademark "MUSE" warning them about legal action if they did not stop using the word "MUSE" on their product. I know for a fact that they are not the only ones that have experienced this. If you try to use the generic word "muse" as part of the name of any product they will basically come after you and they will spend as much money and resources as necessary to get away with it. It sucks but I don't think Robert and Andy had a choice unless they were ok spending a lot of money on lawyers.
Muse should write a song called the “Keeley Timmons”. Then just call it even
That sounds incredible!
Whew I thought you two created another pedal that I was gonna have to buy. BTW Muse Driver is my most favoritest pedal on my board.
Just bought this (Muse) last week. Trying not to gush too much but hot dayum, I've bought maybe 7 drives pedals in last year or so and this is the only one I see not getting benched. Great great job, guys and thanks!
Same happened to me. The Blues Disorder is another one that will never leave my board!
Sweet as always.
If i didnt already have the Super AT Mod then i would buy the Mk3 Driver in a heartbeat. U guys are awesome!
Same
That’s also the same for me. I managed to snag an open box Super At Mod in October or November and saw this only weeks later. They’re really amazing pedals though.
3rd time's a charm they say ;) Looking forward to it!
Sold! Just like Andy sold me on the HALO. Love........this......guy and Robert and his team.
I love my Muse Driver! Sounds great!
Mews driver would’ve been so sick 😂
😺😺😺
I have both pedals (HALO, muse driver), couldn't be happier !
Cool, my Muse Driver is a collector's item now. Sounds a lot better when Andy plays it though.
I have the Super AT Mod driver , the one before yours that was only around about a month
Just wow! 🔥🔥🔥
This has an infomercial/HSN advertisement feel. Great sounding pedal.
Because it is awesome.
Thanks!
Something I would love to see with this pedal and the halo is to add midi! Maybe 20 presets and banks to use. This would take them over the top!! Picking up a white Mk3 today! I have both the At mod and the Halo. Love them both. Andy you are the man!!
Can’t wait to see the Halo in the one of the new enclosures.
You guys are on the right track with Mews & a symbol a la Price. Greek letter Mu or μ-driver 😁
Robert Keeley, why dont make it like a double pedal like Aria or D&M Drive wich I already have? instead look Andy go down and switch with hands over the tones? they both, or maybe better all 4 sound, are great but at least you can recal 2 of them with feets =) ... btw thx Andy for the showcase of this another awesome Keeley pedal!!
i wanted to keep the HALO so bad but I could never get it to sound like that so sent it back. Maybe because he runs it in stereo that he can get those huge delay sounds...I can only run mono
At 69 and 50 years plus playing, Andy has changed my outlook of playing. Always play clean with echo on, always have. But I can’t wait to add the Halo and Mk3 to my board and see how my arthritic fingers react 😂.
PS Andy. When you talk about the ‘ Original Apache Hank Marvin’ mode in the Halo, please stop playing the Ventures version of Apache… it’s an insult to us lifelong Shadows fans….🤭🤭🤭
I oddly need to get this, even though I have the muse 😅
Two or three is always better than musing if one is enough! ;-)
Should have just done MUES driver 😁 but mk 3 is cool too. Glad I got one of the first ones as a muse driver. Now it’s a limited edition? 🤔
It would be useful to hear how it behaves thru different kinds of amps. Stuff like boosting proper Plexi crunch or Vox chime etc. I find what works great for one amp often does not work for another, e.g., my nephew's Dark Side that works well into his Fender Twin does not work so well into the high treble input of my Plexi build, but my Laney Tony Iommi boost works great. It's tricky to know if a pedal will work well with an amp or not when buying online, which is why there is a thriving used pedal market I guess.
I'm sure a couple of channels will review the pedal so you'll hear it through different setups
Love to hear it not drenched in modulation tho.
❤❤❤
Will it make me play like this?
Was the letter from the band Muse?
Might’ve been from Roland Boss.
It’s a bit close to “Blues Driver”
What pickups are in that guitar? And what other pedals are you playing through? I'm hearing reverb, maybe analog delay, and possibly chorus.
DIMARZIO AT1 in the bridge and then two Cruiser DP187 (Bridge version even though it is in the neck) .
Andy uses DiMarzio Cruisers in neck and middle and the Andy Timmons AT-1 bridge pickup
No reverb or chorus. That's all Halo.
Life is definitely too short for bad tone. I think it’s time. I finally buy this and the halo ASAP.
How much delay and reverb are you using please.
No reverb, just the Halo
Andy could play a line6 spider and make it sing.
i cant belive mesa stopped making the lonestar amp
I have no idea and have done zero research but is there California tweed similar?
Leo would have just snipped Muse off the labels and called it the Driver.
Mews driver 😽
If it’s an always on pedal you could have called it a Daily Driver.
Just call it "The Driver". It is the only driver on my board.
Ok, I‘ve got the Muse Driver + Halo but still sound like crap… there must be something wrong with the pedals.… 😂
Nooo! I‘m just terrible at playing guitar but it‘s much more fun playing through these great pedals! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎸🎸🎸🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️
of course that pedal is not creating "ALL" that is coming out of that speaker. additional effects, the amp, the fingers, guitar, pickups etc. so our setups will not get the same mileage
Moo's driver
I honestly don't get why producers design such versatile overdrive pedals without the ability to switch between different sounds on the fly. Come on, at least a double switch!
Amuse Driver
find a woman that looks at you the way Robert looks at Andy.
