MXR Custom Shop Timmy Mini Overdrive Pedal

The MXR Timmy Overdrive provides a huge range of gritty, textured tones that enhance your right sound while preserving its fundamental voices.

The pedal is based on a design from veteran pedal builder Paul Cochrane, widely celebrated among high level pros, from first-call Nashville player Kenny Greenberg to first-call L.A. player Lyle Workman to rockstar Brad Whitford. When Paul decided to bring his pedal to a wider audience, he chose to work with the MXR design team. 

Overview:

Thanks to Paul's inventive implementation of clipping options and tone controls, the Timmy Overdrive is a dream come true for working guitar players. The Clip switch provides three different clipping styles for a multitude of scenarios, whether you need a big, bold always-on sound with a ton of headroom to slam the front end of your amp, a more compressed and saturated sound for fat chords, or anything in between.

The Bass and Treble controls offer further refinement in two key ways. First, they're cut-only, keeping your signal's character intact while making it super easy to dial in a clean boost.

Second, Paul wired the Bass control to affect your pre-OD signal so that you can your maintain low end at lower Gain settings and the Treble control to affect your post-OD signal so that you can adjust the top end to keep dirty settings smooth and musical.

Finally, the MXR design team worked with Paul to select an op-amp that perfectly complements his expertly crafted design. They chose the LF353, a component well-respected by Dunlop engineers for providing high output, high gain, and hi-fi signal delivery.
