Few guitarists can lay claim to the diverse landscape of a CV like Andy Timmons. His major debut heading up New York-based glam metal outfit Danger Danger was soon followed by an illustrious career as both a session and touring guitarist, in addition to an expansive slew of solo releases. He long served as both touring artist and music director for Olivia Newton-John, with collaborative work playing and recording alongside the likes of Kip Winger, Paula Abdul, Steve Vai, Paul Stanley, Joe Satriani, Ace Frehley, the Beach Boys, and countless others. Needless to say, Andy knows a few things about tone, both in crafting and refining it, and these decades of multifaceted expertise have been honed to produce a signature sonic tool of his own: the Keeley Andy Timmons Muse Driver overdrive pedal. Sweetwater’s Don Carr joins Andy Timmons for a firsthand look at his signature stompbox, discussing everything from origins and features to designing with Keeley and Andy’s own desert-island pedalboard.

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.
Shout out to Dan from TPS ,Andy got me too 😢! With" here lies the heart"! On your show ! Btw the pedal sounds fantastic!
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.
Andy just drips music. That pedal sounds great!

Andy’s tone and feel is insane🔥
I could just watch Andy play all day!
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!
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’ve known Andy for many years now. Great human being.
In the beginning of the video, I kept expecting Mr. Timmons to play Mr. Beck’s “Where were you”.
Dude comes out with a new drive every Tuesday. I have the Super AT MOD and absolutely LOVE IT. Rock on, boys.
One of my favourite guitarists of all time, I really hope I get to see him live one day!
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....
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

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.
Great overview. Don and Andy seem so genuine and mesh well together. Killer tones and good vibes on this production. You guys nailed it!
Andys bad notes sound better than anyone else's good notes. Great playing, great sounding pedal, great vid.
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!

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 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 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.

Another pedal that I do not need but I will still buy. Edit: just did.
Thumbs up for Andy!
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.
Beast level player… always loved Andy.
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.
Timmons is a brilliant player. And how he gets those strat tones with humbuckers. Wow.
Crazy good neck pickup tone.
Such great feel
This works even better than just making more Super AT Mods. Killer sounds. I gotta get one.

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.

so what's this circuit supposed to be
Andy has truly perfected his wammy bar technique akin to Jeff Beck but in his own style.
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.
So much for loyalty to the Blues Driver that was on his board for 1,000 years.

It’s a pedal not a person.
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.
Got my Muse OD .. it’s wayyy cool.! Has that great glassy tone… and a few other features.. I love it.!
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!?
@RobertKeeleyTV

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.
That pickguard is hanging on for dear life! argh
Pure magic!
It's Great Great Grandmodder!

I'm known for having an itchy trigger finger, but buying this pedal is probably the fastest decision I've ever made! 😂
It’s the perfect guitar sound
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 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.

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.
It needs a tone knob titled "Andy"....and just turn it up.
Germanium seems a little more “lively”……a little more “chaotic” ?
Why does this sound just like Jeff Beck?!???!?
