The 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.
It combines a three-control blues driver circuit with two switches for the voicing of Drive and Tone characteristics that 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.
Just adding the Muse Driver to your pedalboard will make your rig sound better. This professional grade overdrive can be switched between true-bypass and buffered bypass at any time.
- Classic blues driver circuit with decades of Keeley mod experience
- Germanium based overdrive crafted with Andy Timmons direction
- AT/RK Tone Switch cuts lows for a clarity or boosts low-end for power
- AT/RK Drive Switch alternates between asymmetrical silicon to dual germanium diodes
- Buffered Bypass or True-Bypass Change instantly depending on your rig’s needs
- JFET Transistors, Germanium Diodes and Op-Amp Gain combine to form harmonically rich overdrive
- 9 to 18 Volt operation for huge dynamic range and headroom
Tone Switch:
There are two tone control circuits to choose from. When the Tone Switch is up and in the AT Position the tone control features Andy’s preferred voicing and low-end response. Each note in a chord is clear and articulate. If the Tone Switch is down and in the RK Position that features the legendary Phat Boost providing more low-end frequency response, perfect for pushing up vintage or single coil pickups.
Full Range Overdrive-Germanium Toggle Switch:
The Muse Driver circuit combines JFET saturation, diode clipping, and op-amp clipping in order to create its harmonically rich tone.
Drive Switch UP for AT Clipping-this mode features asymmetrical LED diode clipping and is Andy’s Super AT Mod sound. Drive Switch Down for RK Clipping-now the circuit features two germanium diodes for clipping. This mode can sound a bit like a vintage fuzz pedal with a softer, smoother feel.
Muse Driver-Buffered Bypass or True Bypass:
The Muse Driver features our industry leading buffer for noise-free switching. We have developed a buffer which not only makes your rig sound better, it gives you silent switching with no tone loss. Switch between true-bypass and buffered on the fly. Simply press and hold the foot switch for two seconds and the pedal will switch between true-bypass and buffered bypass! You decide what works best in your rig.
A Note From Andy Timmons:
"The Muse Driver is the ultimate expression of the clean/slightly broken-up tone I’ve been going for over the last several years. Robert Keeley and his incredible team have once again knocked it out of the park! The AT/AT setting is exactly my Super AT Mod tone: just the right amount of breakup available at your dynamic command. Every note and nuance is clear as a bell. The crazy thing about this mode is that it also sounds great with the gain turned up, providing an incredibly cool Marshall -esque crunch tone. Having the original RK modded BD-22 circuit is sheer luxury as that’s the circuit that I fell in love with years ago! It still inspires me! The real hidden gem here is Robert’s new modification that utilizes germanium diodes instead of the original silicon for a new kind of clipping that works insanely well on its own OR as a boost for my lead tone. It has a lovely way of further taming the low-end that I really love. With the Muse Driver and the Halo, I’m in Tone Heaven!"
