D&M DRIVE
“Some overdrive sounds have that magic, oh-so playable feel and response. It‘ll be your ideal balance of gain, EQ, headroom and compression, and we’re constantly searching for that.
Part of that search ends here because Keeley has absolutely nailed two separate circuits for our favourite tones respectively, that then combine for a whole extra world of fun and inspiration.
We hope you love it as much as we do!”

THIS IS THE D&M DRIVE
BY KEELEY ELECTRONICS
It’s a dual overdrive that's the perfect storm of drive and boost.
The 'Drive' side is all about Dan’s favourite kind of rich, harmonic gain and sustain. Expect a quick attack with plenty of high and low end, that can go from a superb core crunch tone through to searing tube-like gain. Huge girth for single coils; harmonic bliss for humbuckers and P90s.
The 'Boost' side spans Mick's love for high-voltage, high-headroom mid boosters and a germanium-modded professional overdrive. Punch and clarity aplenty, this will thicken Strat and Tele single coils into huge, single-note singers, or push humbuckers from mild breakup into rich and fruity drive… always with enough treble to cut when you want it.
Each side sounds great on its own, but used together Drive and Boost open up a whole plethora of inspiring multi-stage gain sounds.
Whether you like the super-fat harmonic bliss of Boost into Drive, or the solo lifting punch of Drive into Boost – and anything in between – the D&M Drive has you covered for anything from country to blues to rock and beyond.
In addition, users of loop-based switching systems have the option of using TRS cables in the ‘in’ and ‘out’ jacks to route each side of the D&M Drive into completely separate loops.
We are immensely proud of the D&M Drive, and honoured that Robert Keeley and his team gave it everything we could have asked. It's gone way beyond our expectations and then some!

CUSTOM LIMITED EDITIONS
D&M 'STEALTH' DRIVE
Custom Limited Edition / 100
DECEMBER 2019
A Custom Limited Edition version of the D&M Drive specially created by Keeley Electronics - only 100 made with a specially designed 'stealth' finish.
Each pedal came with a card signed by Dan and Mick confirming the edition number of each pedal.
Plus we included a specially made TPS badge.
D&M 'LABEL MAKER' DRIVE
Custom Limited Edition / 200
OCTOBER 2020
We wanted pared-back styling for this one.
Gone are the orange paintwork and D&M graphics, in favour of old-school Dymo vibe. We've swapped out the knobs for a Marshall style… but on the inside it's 100 per cent classic D&M Drive.
10 of the Edition were special 'Naked' versions and included a Dymo® Embossing Label machine and Mick & Dan signed the base of each one.
