MXR Timmy Overdrive Pedal

The MXR Timmy Overdrive is the official mass-market version of the legendary Paul Cochrane Timmy — arguably the most revered transparent overdrive pedal ever made and previously only available directly from its creator in limited quantities. The Timmy's unique design places the tone controls after the clipping stage rather than before it, resulting in a tonal character that remains consistent regardless of how much gain is applied — a quality that distinguishes it from virtually every other overdrive design. The Bass and Treble controls work as interactive shelving filters that allow removal of frequencies rather than addition, resulting in the most natural, amp-like overdrive available at any price.
