MK3 DRIVER – ANDY TIMMONS FULL RANGE OVERDRIVE

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.

• 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

ANDY TIMMONS – TONE SWITCH

The Mk3 Driver gives you 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 of the low-end response of a drive pedal. 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 in the low-end frequency response, perfect for pushing up vintage or single coil pickups.
