Keeley D&M Drive Pedal Overview
Offering a gorgeous sounding high-voltage Boost side which is designed to impart the perfect tone on any amp, The D&M Drive is the perfect storm of Drive and Boost.
No longer will you wonder what the perfect clean boost should be - as you roll things up, the drive morphs your tone into a sexy and smoothly saturated midrange voice, while the Drive side offers everything you would want in a powerful gain stage; from flat honest overdrive that is perfect for any set of chords, to searing hot lead work with tons of sustain. The Drive is the perfect counterpoint to the Boost as not only does each side of the pedal provide rewarding guitar tones, but they can also be used to stack together for an out-of-this-world experience. The pro switching system developed for the D&M Drive allows you to select which side of the pedal comes first, and what’s more, you can configure the pedal to work in a pro switching system like the G2 for independent Boost/Drive use!
A simple toggle allows you to configure the pedal so that when both the Drive and Boost are on, you decide which is first. If you want to have a smooth and round tone to go into a richly driven amp-like gain stage … or if you want a highly driven tone with edge and harmonics to be then boosted with clarity and refinement, it’s your choice. Not only that, but the engineers incorporated TRS insert cables so that this pedal would easily integrate into a professional switching system like the G2; now pedalboard designers can configure the D&M Drive to act as two independent pedals, switching between either side of the pedal as it were its own stand alone effect.
