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.

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

best basic transparent overdrive
This is a really good transparent overdrive. The grit is very smooth and can be raspier with the choice of clipping modes. The sound is really beautifull transparent. The Eq is very powerfull (bas in pregain !). I was surprised. It is much better than video's show on you tube. True Quality. If you have an nice reverb tone you want to keep but get it a little more gritty, gainy: this is the first pedal to think about.
Top ! It is not for the power dirty overdrive, thats's not it's purpose. And if you want more special touches , you can use the shoe pedals dod overdrive, bluesdriver boss, Klon clone, Nobels... But this is the most pure one. I got it already slightly used from Thoman, not even in a plastic bag anymore. But I don't mind. They always accept my returns without being difficult. As long as it works and is not scratched.
