A meeting of minds between the boutique effects godfather Robert Keeley and the stars of That Pedal Show, the D&M Drive promises to offer guitar players the full gamut of drive tones – from clean boost to searing rock leads.
The D&M Drive has two distinct and well-crafted tones modelled to the tastes of That Pedal Show hosts, Mick Taylor and Dan Steinhardt, which can be stacked and blended to taste, creating a hugely versatile gain pedal for all occasions.
We said “A super-versatile gain pedal full of top-quality tones that could conceivably replace two or even three others on your board – if it ran on battery power, it would be perfect!”
