Engineering the perfect overdrive… again! (And this time we brought a friend.)
There is something special about a Keeley Modded Blues Driver. There’s something even more remarkable about Andy Timmons’ tone. Since his exposure to this Keeley modded stompbox early on, it has been virtually glued to Andy’s board. Coincidence? We think not. So, what happens when Andy and Robert use the familiarity of the Super Phat Mod platform to dethrone a classic? Enter the Super AT Mod.
Andy Timmons and his beautiful guitar playing have been known to bring people to tears, literally! After working with Andy for a couple of years we decided to focus his ears on the Keeley Super Phat Mod. There are two significant modifications to the tone of the Super AT Mod Overdrive that will be very apparent to players. The new Timmons mod accentuates both the tone control and the gain creation - making this circuit truly sound and respond like a tube amplifier in a stompbox.
"If you are reading this, then we are kindred spirits: Players who are driven by their passion for pursuing great tone!
The Super AT Mod Overdrive is the ultimate expression of the slightly broken up/clean tone I have been searching for all
these years. It also rocks with an amazing overdrive tone that is incredibly amp-like. I already have 2 on my board!
Wishing you all the best on your Tone Quest!" - Andy Timmons

Find someone in your life that looks at you the way Robert looks at Andy. ❤

LOL. I've been married 37 years - my wife used to look at me like that.

That’s nothing watch him on that pedal show

I was with andy once.. Believe me we all look him like that.. ❤😇🌞

[@paultaylor2968]

I had that pedal show tears in my eyes

[@mtrooze]

I was privileged to play with Andy last night in Florence, SC. He had, not one, but two of these on his board. Andy's tone was absolutely sublime.

[@johnhennessey5]

Where’d you play with him? In a group or

[@208414]

Andy Timmons is a wonderful musician. His tone is sublime.

[@RandyWillcox]

Andy's musicality, melodic sensibility, right hand mechanics, left hand tone, overall touch...he's got all the most difficult aspects of guitar playing...IN SPADES!!! (Also, his first appearance on That Pedal Show led me to walk into 30th Street Guitars in Manhattan, when they were still on 30th Street, see a used Keeley modded blues driver on the shelf, and buy it without the need to plug it in).

[@unclescott8792]

Andy Timmons is one of these guys I feel like I know ... even though I've never even been in the same room with him! Just seems like such a sweetheart of a dood. So glad that Keeley has done another project with him. Great producer of wonderful products ... great player playing those great products. Happy for you both!! I hope this journey is prosperous for all parties involved!!! -Scott

[@braddietzmusic2429]

A truly lovely symbiosis and mutual respect and friendship here. Moments of guitar community that steps into the realm of guitar family. Very nice.

[@robby188]

Congratulations dear Andy , you deserve it.❤ Congratulations to Robert Keeley too for made this great pedals , "AT MOD and Halo". Wonderful collaboration between two professional people

[@scottjerard1293]

That Andy Timmons,,what a class act! Who doesn’t need more dynamics and a fatter gain structure

[@brandonleespitler]

So, the JHS @, the Xotic BB, and this new Keeley. Nice.

[@peevee605]

Timmons has a mojo for tone that is unsurpassed. This sounds so good.

[@lyricbread]

9:49 Great. Now Andy’s trying to get Robert to cry. 😂

[@angelnarvaez3584]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@RobertKeeleyTV]

Andy's playing has got me to tear up, it just hasn't been captured on film!

[@user-dc5rg9mn1p]

I love watching humble musicians interact with other like minded people who truly appreciate the craft!

[@kevinmusso2397]

Oh my… what treat to hear AT noodling exquisitely. That pedal sounds great and is obviously dynamic. Bought it while watching.

[@kxmrock]

Lookin Good Robert

[@RobertKeeleyTV]

[@sonnyprewitt]

My Keeley 2 knob compressor is still one of my favorites. When I bought it I got a phone call from Robert asking if I was satisfied with the pedal. I am still impressed with Him and Keeley as a company.

[@richardburkow3792]

The best. Period.

[@nickolasecker9596]

Dang, an og customer!

[@marramusic]

Sounds absolutely fantastic!

[@Wadey1960CS]

Mine is on the way! ❤️

[@M0M...]

I got this pedal....It is amazing and so much fun to play light on and let the pedal bloom

[@BenCoombs]

I have mine ordered!! Another great collab gents!!

[@petew.1418]

Dayum!! So much great in this video.

[@ROKZLEON]

You guys make magic together!!! Another winner!!! 👍🏻

[@marchendricks6571]

Absolutely amazing tone and playing. ❤

[@rottalmusik6563]

A great Joy to watch Robert and Andy talking, and the playing, the playing❤

[@lyricbread]

Waaayyy overdue! Congratulations Andy and well done, as always, Robert. Sounds amazing! ❤

[@viewoftheaskew]

2 Geniuses at work!

[@M0M...]

I NEED THIS

[@TrevorrNourse]

Had to place an order, can't wait to receive . Robert Sir thank you for working to make this happen for Andy and for the rest of us to enjoy! This will go well with my Halo and the new Vintage Phaser I ordered as well.

[@r.llynch4124]

Ordered!

[@tone-talk]

Fantastic video with two talented people! The pedal is amazing!

[@wenchcarroteh06]

This is the most inspiring tone I've ever heard. Dear lord!

[@jwjohnson7909]

Andy. You can finally return the BORROWED Blues Driver! 😂

[@godbyone]

I sold my once. To justify a guitar purchase guilt. But. I hunted. Got it back. Never sell it again.

[@godbyone]

I love my bd2 keeley. I really wrestled which drive to get when that came out so glad I got it

[@mgammill]

mine is on it's way! oh yeah... always a great day w new AT gear : )

[@robbieredball]

Next pedal sorted, never had a BD. Now the perfect one! Glad I waited. More TPS gigs in the UK please Andy. Witney last year was special.

[@richardburkow3792]

I just ordered mine. My Halo will have another pedalboard friend. Update: got it on Friday - amazing pedal - does not disappoint.

[@thankyouspaceexpert]

This is the best bromance in guitar right now. Awesome stuff.

[@sparksnguitarsmike]

Man, I wish I could make it to the Guitar Sanctuary. I could sit and listen to these 2 guys for hours!

[@marchendricks6571]

Definitely one I will need -I love to have this level of versatility for expression.

[@RobertKeeleyTV]

It really is incredibly dynamic.

[@tel5690]

Definitely got to get this pedal

[@FaberGT86]

Andy has always been an inspiration. I bought the Super Phat Mod just to recreate his crunchy sounds, since Andy used a Boss BD-2 with the Phat Mod. I also bought the Halo, not because it's Andy's signature delay but because it's a fantastic pedal. Forgive me Robert, I respect you so much but this time I think it was a real commercial operation. EDIT: buy it if you are a fan of Andy Timmons otherwise buy the Super Phat Mod which is practically identical. Then, if you want to save even more, choose the Boss BD-2.

[@RobertKeeleyTV]

It most certainly was a commercial operation. It was actually four times more successful than we initially calculated. When Andy flipped out over the tone, I couldn't help make a special presentation out of the tone. We added expensive aluminum knobs to create a custom look we thought appropriate. It's a limited run at this point and people should be happy with their old BD-2 mods or SPM pedals, they have been used on many pro boards, for a couple decades in some cases.

[@FaberGT86]

@@RobertKeeleyTV after an initial second thought, I decided to purchase the Super AT Mod, because I'm a Andy fan and above all I'm like St. Thomas, I have to see to believe. I was right. In a blind test it's impossible to distinguish which is the Super Phat Mod and which is the Super AT Mod. To the human ear they are 99% identical.

[@Lerock2013]

just WOW

[@tommyraper3895]

Loving Andy's tone here, and really feeling the nods to Jeff Beck in this, this really captures such a pleasant sound!

[@mariyapastukh6202]

Love it!❤❤❤

[@CraigCrider]

I've been wanting to add a SPM to my board for a while now. But I'm pretty sure the SATM will be just the thing, especially since it's red (my favorite color). Nicely done everyone!

[@sixslinger9951]

I just got mine today and when first plugging it in with my Les Paul in the AT Mode, I was sold. It kills my BD-2w . Thank you Robert and Andy. This is just an amazing pedal! PS...and it also pairs really nice with my Keeley Compressor plus and Halo. very happy.

[@brucesguitardemos8197]

You really can hear Jeff beck in his playing, emotion and tone ❤ thanks Andy ❤

[@JamesOrtonVideo]

Artist and engineer, tone to the bone!

[@SeanPierceJohnson]

DANG IT! Why do I always miss out? 😢 this sounds so good

[@wildbill7]

I love everything about this video. See humans? That's who we can all be if we spend more time doing what we love.

[@robb4340]

Great Demo, Still Very Happy With The Halo Delay. Was Looking For Another Drive Pedal and this is exactly what i was looking for. Also the Keeley Compressor + on my board still does the job Great. So a 3rd Keeley pedal on my main board.

[@toneleudy]

I've bought the halo @ and I'm waiting for now this! I also have a Keeley modded blues driver. It was my main gain pedal for years.

[@fender0942]

Damn it. Man I gotta buy this thing

[@tonymoore78]

I know it’s Andy playing it, so it already sounds better than it will when I play it. But seriously, this sounds like a fantastic drive pedal.

[@FabrizioPeretti]

How cool is it we now get to have all the pieces of Andy's tone? Ibanez AT, this new fat mod, the jhs at, the halo, the lonestar! I mean, it's a lot of money for the whole package but just those 3 pedals are going to get you real close!

[@UnboundOdysseus]

If only we mere mortals could find a way to get the most important pieces…Andy’s hands. 😞

[@r.llynch4124]

2 of the best.

[@johngraves2185]

Sounds amazing! Andy, you have to be one of the most tasteful players on the planet! Holy fuck that is so nice!

[@user-vl9bn5wx3j]

Hey robert i just got the new super at mod and my parents loved the new sound my dad said it was very tebley my mom loved it like all my new pedals. Andy you are amazing guitarist i always come back to your music and influence on my own playing. Great work great tone great articulation great detail and great clarity its overall a great pedal looks sleek too.I love it guys my name is jeff and i do prefer les pauls with dimarzio at-1.crunch lab, 36th anniversary pafs, tone zone, and seymour duncan jb, pickups. I know that is a bit different from what andy uses but its all up to us to try and make it sing as great as andy but andy will always make it as perfect as perfect can be he is very talented and a humble great guy.

[@LoVeAmBiEnT]

Well, this tone sounds absolutely perfect. This is what I’m aiming for every time I play I’m trying to get the very smallest amount of break up, but it never sounds like this. I bought the Jackson Audio golden boy about a week ago and did not know of this pedal but it’s OK. I’m pretty sure I can achieve this kind of sound or at least get close to it. I’m not Andy though. Wonderful pedal you did a great job as always.

[@perttutarvainenp-tunes6924]

There still are, good old Exotic preamp, in Andys pedalboard😁. I guess it was kind of "first love" for Andy, and understand very well why it`s in there. And Carl Martins comp as well. I wonder, is there any other guitar legends, who have chased that "right" tone so much and so long like Andy. But when you have those ears, fingers and attitude, it`s not surprise that his tone and playing is beyond of this world.

[@elvis_chen]

Andy Timmons is the man, top notch!

[@johnw777]

Saw Andy a couple months ago, with some kind of prototype of this, all the important bits covered in painters tape. :) Ordered mine this morning, the prototype sounded SO good thru a Lonestar/Two Rock setup.....Ring my friend I said you'd call Dr. Robert..... Day or night he'll set your tone just right, Doctor Robert...... :D

[@cmcarley]

I have the Halo and will definitely be getting this!

[@uticacrib1664]

So far this is the only "effect" pedal I own. My first pedal was a EQ, then I got the AT MOD and a ABY switch. Many Keeley pedals on my wishlist. Very impressed.

[@johnhennessey5]

The ABY switch is for 2 amps?

[@uticacrib1664]

@@johnhennessey5 That's how I use it.

[@paulkontz]

Just heard a little Kossoff in that overdrive crunch.

[@javiacustico]

Robert looks at Andy like he's just stumbled an angel who plays guitar.. wich i don't blame XD

[@elephantfootrisers]

I can't wait to get my hands on one of these. The Halo is killer.

[@GabrielFingolo]

Brother, Andy is by far my biggest reference! Even the most simple chord he plays just sounds better thar anyones!

[@butchr7]

Great pedal! All we need now is a compressor collaboration.

[@fredbeck23]

Love the Halo, looking forward to get this awesome sounding drive on my board!

[@RobertKeeleyTV]

Thank you!

[@andresortiz6]

Dan Steinhart crying again somewhere.

[@MrTomerD]

Next stage is to release an AT "Tone in a Box" packing the Halo, JHS @+ and this bad boy and all guitarists will be nourished with glorious tone for days /,,/,

[@stevethebeeline44]

Throw in the Xotic BB & Carl Martin compressor and all staple gain stage and dynamics sorted!

[@Schpacky]

Got mine ordered bravo Gentleman! @andy on this particular example of your amps is it one being slaved into another going into a singular mesa 2x12? And if so is there anything else you have to have it handle that much wattage? Going into one cab? Thanks in advanced!

[@Doomhamar]

Amazing stuff, only thing that would be nice is if you guys can make the switch be accessed by your feet some how, either with the footswitch like 2 stomps to activate it for instance or a external footswitch so you don't have to switch it by hand.

[@SimpleManGuitars1973]

If you guys are not using that beat up AC30 in the background you can send it this way...I've got a PERFECT spot for it right between my AC30 and AC10! LOL!

[@m.d.4949]

Every day I enjoy playing the Halo pedal. Amazing pedal!

[@RobertKeeleyTV]

Thank you!

[@pedalscapes]

Superb! Will this be shipping globally?

[@tgvettes]

I love Andy's tone in this video, I might have to buy both a Halo and the Super AT Mod seeing this. only question is what has to come off my board. (it has 90% Keeley pedals )

[@rareform6747]

Keeley never stops pushing the envelop .. On Top This Post Rings Out on Computer .

[@alexmbrenner]

Andy is the best! As if the Halo wasn’t genius enough.

[@Tonetwisters]

I just got one of the four-knob compressors ... it is quite on par with my ROSS ... but better, since my ROSS is busted!

[@ericskinner7355]

Really beautiful tones and playing. The funny thing is that they kept saying how much it sounds like an amp. Someone should make an amp that sounds like this pedal...👍

[@RobertKeeleyTV]

Great idea!

[@cybersixx]

Is the halo in front of those pedals in the signal chains? Or in the loop? Thanks

[@pilemonzter]

I think Andy isn't only a great guitarist, but he is also a great engineer 😮 Correct me if I'm wrong, I guess that Keeley is the fourth pedal builder that collaborate with Andy? Previously there are Carl Martin, Xotic, and also JHS 🔥

[@RobertKeeleyTV]

Totally agree with your assessment. Andy is a sound engineer. He is great at putting pieces together in order to create a completely amazing sound or tone; it's an honor and an education to work with someone like that.

[@elmerfudd1047]

Hi Robert and Andy. Is this pedal a true “limited edition”, or will you produce more in the future?

[@RobertKeeleyTV]

Wabbits love to eat carrots! And peddlers love to sell pedals ;-) But truthfully, it is a limited edition. We may make another batch in the future, but for now, we built a little more than 2,000 and that's gonna have to hold, at least for a little while. ;-)

[@andymelendez9757]

A lot of guitarists missing Jeff right now. 👍

[@Gdomin6]

Andy’s next album, Sonic Ducks! Or Maybe Robert’s next dual pedal, an AT Halo on the left and an AT MOD on the right, named Sonic Ducks.

[@dwaynejessome1728]

still waiting for the re-stock of the Super AT Mod. Sold out immediately. When will we see them? Anxiously awaiting

[@davidohanlon8494]

A homage to these honorable technicians and gentlemen is justly due; patronization is the manifestation of respect, the owning of a Keeley compressor caused this purchase to be a no-brainer. Have you ordered one ??

[@godbyone]

Robert. Years ago. You had. A custom shop pedal you’re pedals. Wood box. With had picked nos. Circuits. I I have never seen it again I wanted to get keeley comp with nos picked. Parts. I’ve hunted. Never has one come up for sale not once .

[@RobertKeeleyTV]

I do remember some wooden cases and we had three germanium fuzzes with hand selected OC44 transistors. I just don't have many of those parts left anymore.

[@basvredeling]

Where can I buy those Tone Candles?

[@RobertKeeleyTV]

Be careful now, I can be talked into things that make sense! ;-)

[@LesonDeson]

That would be nice to have the voices in the center on the next video, it sounds odd to have Andy's voice panned left.

[@DBroce]

Will I get to play this tonight at the Sanctuary?

[@humplucker2445]

No matter what pedal we buy, we'll never sound like Andy. His internal rig goes from his brain all the way to his finger tips. With love of music and all other sorts of emotions tapped along the way. Lets work on that.... Our internal rig.

[@surena4775]

What's the signal chain here? I'd love to know how this drive plus Halo pedal sound like when used straight into interface.

[@pjbirch5732]

Andy switched to EL34s in his Lonestar early on. Does anyone know what brand/type he uses?

[@silvestrodesantis4623]

I prefer the JHS and BB preamp

[@godbyone]

Robert. You should have one of you’re guy do a teaching demo on halo. I love it but. I bet. Witb one of you’re worker s do a in depth demo on setting

[@brentbarcus7650]

What's the reverb on this? sounds amazing.

[@MrJonguess]

What’s next fellas
