Andy Timmons Signature Overdrive

The Mk3 Driver is a Germanium-based overdrive pedal designed under the direction of guitarist Andy Timmons. It combines a classic blues driver circuit with decades of Keeley modification experience for versatile tone shaping. The pedal suits players seeking harmonically rich saturation ranging from transparent boost to thick overdrive.

Sustained Tone Behaviour

JFET transistors, Germanium diodes, and an Op-Amp gain stage interact to maintain harmonic complexity during extended playing sessions. The AT/RK Tone Switch adjusts low-frequency response for clarity or added low-end power without muddiness. The Drive Switch alternates between asymmetrical silicon and dual Germanium diode clipping for distinct saturation characters.

Installation and Common Issues

The pedal fits a standard pedalboard signal chain and offers selectable Buffered or True-Bypass switching to match specific rig requirements. Players must ensure the correct bypass mode is selected to avoid unexpected signal loading or tone loss. The dual switch layout requires familiarity to toggle Tone and Drive modes accurately during live performance.

Questions about this item

Does the Mk3 Driver Andy Timmons pedal run hot or draw much current when left on all day?

It uses JFET transistors, Germanium diodes and an Op-Amp gain stage; Germanium devices run cool and the circuit draws only a few milliamps, so heat and power draw stay negligible during extended use.

What power supply and cables must I already own to run the Mk3 Driver Andy Timmons pedal?

You need a standard 9 V DC centre-negative supply (Boss-style) and two 1/4" instrument cables — one from guitar to input, one from output to amp or next pedal.

Will the Mk3 Driver Andy Timmons pedal work cleanly in front of my vintage tube amp without loading the pickups?

Yes — choose True-Bypass mode to remove the circuit entirely, or Buffered Bypass to drive long cables; the AT/RK Tone and Drive switches then let you match the pedal's voicing to the amp's character.
