MXR Custom Shop Timmy CSP027 5-stars Reviews

Great transparent boost/overdrive

Pros:

+ Fully transparent (tone knobs all the way clockwise)

+ Enough gain to drive an amp

+ Can serve as a volume boost with the gain all the way off

+ Practical mini format for those inclined

Cons:

- The difference between the 3 modes is very subtle

- Bass/Treble knobs can only cut, not boost

- It doesn't offer the same volume boos as the Xotic EP Booster, if that's what you're looking for

Great pedal!

if you like Timmy v3, you like mxr Timmy...Because both of these.

There is a very small difference in response.

I don't know the original Timmy by Paul Cochrane, but this is pretty great. I run it as a first stage overdrive into a Wampler Tumnus (with gain turned pretty high) to get a singing full-spectrum overdrive. With the clipping switch and the bass and treble pots you can dial in pretty much any sound – from high-headroom sparkling clean to compressed clipped saturated tone.
