MXR Timmy Overdrive Guitar Effects Pedal (CSP027), Blue

From warm, full, bluesy tones, to gut wrenching tube sounding power. This little pedal is superb and packs a punch. Feels solid too. Very well made. Robust feeling controls and switch. Highly recommend.

This is a really nice 'clear' overdrive - sounds like you're pushing your amp into overdrive rather than changing the sound with a drive pedal. It's got quite a lot of gain on tap too - though obviously not enough to go metal. I can't tell too much of a difference between the clipping modes, just picked the one that sounded right to me and left it there.

Great drive sounds - good tonal options with the clipping toggle. Can become nicely compressed for rhythm playing. Highly recommended

Great transparent overdrive. Also listen to the Tumnus before buying but you can’t go wrong with either.

Yes, in short, it is; I can get this MXR to sound identical to my Paul Cochrane Timmy, but at less than half the price and less than half the board space! Definitely recommended....

Very responsive controls. However I can’t properly rate the pedal as far as tone. I bought it to try and achieve better driven tone through the clean channels on my 1 watt Marshall anniversary amp and my Blackstar HTR 5 watt. However the sound wasn’t any better than what’s available on the overdrive channels if both amps. Probably due to the clean channels being pretty poor in the first place on both amps. Video evidence suggests it excels when played through a quality amp built for a clean sound and coloured with pedals

Both input/output jacks don't hold cables well for some reason. You should google this issue before you buy as seems like many people having the same issue. It's really annoying as it's useless even though the sound is good it loses connection when you switch it on/off.

Ja tinha um jan ray vemuran que adoro, always on. E queria um timmy, que è suposto ser igual do jan ray, sonpara partes que preciso de mais gain. Pensava que o jan ray ia continuar mt superior ao timmy. Na realidade, è mesmo igual a 95%. O timmy è mt bom. Para 1/3 do preço do jan ray. Adoro E o conjunto dos 2 para o que queria fazer funciona na perfeçao

La pédale donne un sons très agréable dans les trois positions du mini switch, néanmoins ce celle-là du milieu la que je préfère la plus car je la trouve la plus dynamique. Le switch tout à droite donne un son et un comportement moins exceptionnel qu’on peut répliquer avec la pédale Mosky MM Silver bien moins chère mais un crins moins dynamique. Pas de problème avec le fonctionnement des jacks ni rien d’autre. Très bonne qualité de construction. En revanche, la position du led, sa auteur, et sa conception sans collier de protection constituent un potentiel point de faiblesse pour la pédale. J'enlève une étoile pour advertir aux acheteurs sur cet aspect de conception en particulier.

Super!

This pedal is fantastic- keeps my natural tone to my amp when amp is at any volume and can eq and overdrive to taste at low volumes. Usps is another story though.

From the first note, I could tell this was a great low-gain, dirt/grit pedal. Perfect for blues, and a light smattering of dirt on your notes, or stacking with other drives for that extra saturation. The tone controls are responsive, functional, and the pedal imparts very little overall coloring, while adding that nice touch of dirt. The three postion switch is not as noticeable at modest gain settings, but if you use the pedal for more of an overdrive, or light distortion, the left and right positions of the switch become more apparent. The right position is more compressed, with dynamics evened out, while the left position is more spitty, and adds a little more hair to the sound. I prefer the center position, which is more natural, with an open, dynamic feel. Gained up, the pedal has a nice warm overdrive sound, that on it's own will get you into rock territory. It does get a little mushy with the gain up higher, which winding back the bass control helps to tighten up, but this pedal is most at home with gain settings between 11-2-oclock in my opinion. If you are looking for a pedal that punches above its weight, sounds great, and is well made, the MXR Timmy is the pedal you are looking for. I am getting a second one to put on my B-Board, it is that good. I was hesitant at first to get one, having a Caline Pure-Sky already, which is also an amazing pedal, I wasn't sure the MXR Timmy would be a notch up. Curiosity got me though, and I am glad I made the jump. The Timmy is an amazing pedal, so if you were on the fence about getting one, just do it.
