Signature Gear: Andy Timmons Demos His Keeley Muse Driver Overdrive Pedal

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.
