The MXR Timmy Overdrive provides a huge range of gritty, textured tones  that enhance your rig's sound while preserving its fundamental voice—and  in an MXR mini housing, it'll free up serious pedalboard space. The  pedal's based on a design from veteran pedal builder Paul Cochrane  that's widely celebrated among high level pros, from first-call  Nashville player Kenny Greenberg to first-call L.A. player Lyle Workman  to rockstar Brad Whitford. When Paul decided to bring his pedal to a  wider audience, he chose to work with the MXR design team. "It's an  honor to work with MXR," Paul says. "My first ever pedal was a Phase  90."

Thanks to Paul's inventive implementation of clipping options and tone  controls, the Timmy Overdrive is a dream come true for working guitar  players. The Clip switch provides three different clipping styles for a  multitude of scenarios, whether you need a big, bold always-on sound  with a ton of headroom to slam the front end of your amp, a more  compressed and saturated sound for fat chords, or anything in between.  The Bass and Treble controls offer further refinement in two key ways.  First, they're cut-only, keeping your signal's character intact while  making it super easy to dial in a clean boost. Second, Paul wired the  Bass control to affect your pre-OD signal so that you can your maintain  low end at lower Gain settings and the Treble control to affect your  post-OD signal so that you can adjust the top end to keep dirty settings  smooth and musical.

Finally, the MXR design team worked with Paul to select an op-amp that  perfectly complements his expertly crafted design. They chose the LF353,  a component well-respected by Dunlop engineers for providing high  output, high gain, and hi-fi signal delivery. The resulting MXR Timmy  Overdrive is a professional-grade must-have for players who want sweet,  harmonic breakup that responds to playing dynamics and maintains a rig's  personality at a fraction of the standard pedal size.

Due to its vast tonal palette and ability to keep a guitarist’s core  tone intact, the MXR Timmy Overdrive has been called a working guitar  player’s dream come true. So, what gives Timmy its signature  transparency and musicality? First, the Treble and Bass controls on  Timmy are cut-only, which prevents you from overhyping your signal.  Instead, it puts the focus on eliminating unwanted upper and lower  frequencies. Second, the Bass control is wired to affect your signal  before it hits the overdrive stage, so you get a cleaner, more focused  low end. On the other side, the Treble control affects the signal  post-overdrive, which helps you smooth out grittier tones while  accentuating pleasing harmonics. Finally, Timmy’s unique three-way Clip  switch lets you select from three different clipping types, moving from  light saturation to massive, crunchy distortion.
