The V3 incorporates circuit improvements addressing specific tonal and dynamic criticisms of earlier versions. It delivers warm, harmonically complex distortion with natural saturation bloom suited to classic rock and British blues rock applications.
The Keeley MK3 Driver is a gain pedal from Keeley Electronics inspired by the MK3 vintage British circuit character, delivering the harmonically complex, warm overdrive associated with vintage British driver designs.
