Paul Cochrane Timmy Overdrive V2 – The King of Transparent Overdrive
This is the legendary Paul Cochrane Timmy V2 overdrive pedal. Widely celebrated as one of the most innovative and copied overdrive circuits in guitar history, the handbuilt Timmy is the ultimate standard for "transparent" drive. Unlike traditional mid-heavy overdrives that choke the signal, the Timmy adds rich harmonic grit, volume boost, and organic breakup while preserving the exact tonal DNA of your premium guitar and amplifier.
Key Features & Specs:
- Pure Clean Boost to Creamy Crunch: Delivers an incredibly wide-ranging gain stage that goes smoothly from a transparent clean boost to touch-sensitive, amp-like saturation.
- Ingenious Cut-Only EQ: The Bass and Treble knobs are uniquely designed as "cut-only" controls. The Bass pot cuts pre-distortion frequencies (keeping your low-end tight and mud-free), while the Treble pot shapes your post-distortion highs to perfectly tame harshness without losing clarity.
- 3-Way External Clipping Toggle: This definitive V2 upgrade moves the clipping selection to the front panel. Choose between Symmetrical Compressed, Symmetrical Uncompressed, or Asymmetrical clipping profiles to match your rig's headroom.
- High Headroom Powering: Features a premium analog circuit utilizing a JRC4559 op-amp. It runs on a standard 9V DC power supply but can safely be run at 18V for massively expanded dynamic headroom and a wider, cleaner push.
- True Hardwire Bypass: Ensures absolute signal integrity when the pedal is disengaged, leaving your tone completely uncolored.
Condition:
Very good - small blemish on the bottom right corner (see pics). Otherwise perfect.
