Keeley Tube Drive – Dealer Exclusive 1987 JAN 12AT7WC

Product Description

The Keeley Tube Drive – 1987 Philips JAN 12AT7WC is a Dealer Exclusive dual-overdrive pedal combining a genuine high-voltage tube preamp with Keeley’s renowned Phat Mod drive circuit.

At the heart of this version is a vintage 1987 Philips JAN 12AT7WC, operating at high voltage for authentic tube response. The military-grade tube gives the Tube Drive a distinctive voice, ranging from warm, touch-sensitive grit to punchy, chimey overdrive.

The second channel delivers Keeley’s modded BD-2-style Phat Mod drive, with independent Level, Drive and Tone controls. Both channels can be used individually or stacked, while a long-press footswitch function lets you reverse the signal order between Drive → Tube and Tube → Drive.

The Tube Drive also offers selectable true bypass or Keeley silent buffered switching, plus a TRS Remote connection for external control of both channels. Manufactured from start to finish at Keeley Electronics in Oklahoma City, this Dealer Exclusive combines vintage tube character with flexible modern switching and dual-channel gain.
