The Keeley Andy Timmons AT Mod Overdrive is a testament to the collaborative genius of Andy Timmons and Robert Keeley, merging the iconic sound of a Keeley Modded Blues Driver with the unmistakable tone of Timmons. This pedal, in excellent condition and with its original box, represents a significant evolution in overdrive technology, offering a sound that is not just heard but felt. The Super AT Mod Overdrive is a product of years of fine-tuning and passion, designed to inspire guitarists to reach new heights in their musical expression.
At the heart of the Super AT Mod Overdrive are two key modifications that set it apart from other pedals. Firstly, the Timmons mod significantly enhances the tone control and gain creation, allowing the pedal to mimic the responsiveness and sound of a tube amplifier with uncanny accuracy. The addition of a new Tone Switch circuit design introduces an AT-mode specifically voiced for humbuckers, offering lower mid-bass frequencies for a tighter, more transparent sound. This feature ensures that whether you're wielding humbuckers or single coils, the Super AT Mod Overdrive adapts to deliver the power and clarity your playing demands.
Perhaps the most dramatic alteration comes in the form of asymmetrical tube clipping. By combining regular diodes with LEDs, the Super AT Mod achieves a unique distortion characteristic that is both complex and musically engaging, emulating the natural asymmetry found in tube amp distortion. This innovative approach to clipping ensures that chords and harmonies are cleaner and tighter, without sacrificing gain.
Described by Andy Timmons as the "ultimate expression of the slightly broken up/clean tone" he has sought throughout his career, the Super AT Mod Overdrive is more than just an effect pedal—it's a bridge to achieving the elusive perfect tone. Its design philosophy mirrors that of classic California tube amps, utilizing JFET transistors to replicate the warmth and dynamic response of tubes. The result is a pedal that not only functions as an amp-in-a-box but surpasses this concept through meticulous design and the shared vision of Keeley and Timmons.
