Keeley D&M Drive
Overview
The Keeley D&M Drive is a dual overdrive pedal created in collaboration with That Pedal Show hosts Dan Steinhardt and Mick Taylor, combining two distinct overdrive circuits in a single enclosure designed to cover the full spectrum of drive tones. The Mick side delivers a transparent, lower-gain boost and overdrive with a flat frequency response that preserves the natural voice of the guitar and amp, functioning beautifully as an always-on tone enhancer or a clean boost for pushing a tube amp into natural breakup. The Dan side provides a more aggressive, midrange-focused drive with higher gain capability, producing thick, saturated crunch tones that excel for lead work and heavier rhythm playing. Both sides feature independent volume, tone, and gain controls, and can be used individually or stacked together in a configurable order. The pedal supports external switching for toggling each side independently during live performance. The interaction between the two drives when stacked creates complex, harmonically rich overdrive textures that feel organic and amp-like. Build quality reflects Keeley's high standards, with a sturdy dual-footswitch enclosure and premium components throughout. The D&M Drive is ideal for players who want a versatile, two-in-one overdrive solution that replaces two separate pedals on their board. The dual-pedal format makes it slightly larger than a standard single pedal, which may affect pedalboard real estate on tightly packed setups.
