The Paul Cochrane Tim V3 Overdrive — one of the most legendary and sought-after transparent overdrive pedals in the boutique world, hand-built in small batches and frequently sold out at the source.

About the Pedal
At low settings you'll effortlessly achieve a sound that's simply "more" of what your amp already offers. As the gain is turned up and the EQ adjusted accordingly, smooth, singing, round, and reedy tones are at your fingertips — the Tim responds immediately to your right hand's attack, just like a great tube amplifier.

What's New in V3

• A 3-way clipping switch keeps the same top and middle settings as before, with a new third, more "open" asymmetrical setting
• A 3-way Hi-Cut switch helps it sit better with brighter amps and speakers
• The FX loop is now tied in with the boost for added flexibility in that mode
• True bypass, controlled by a Soft Switch relay circuit that minimizes the loud pop/click some pedals have when switching
• The EQ now works intuitively — turning Bass and Treble left "cuts" those frequencies, unlike earlier reversed-pot versions

Why This One's Special
Paul Cochrane's twin-footswitch Tim remains one of the most iconic boutique overdrive pedals on the market, helping to popularize the term "transparent overdrive." Cochrane builds these by hand in small runs, and they routinely sell out within hours of restocking — driving real scarcity-based demand on the used market.

Power requirement: Runs on +9VDC only with a 30mA current draw, using a standard center-negative 2.1mm power supply — it does not have an internal 9V battery and cannot run on higher voltages due to its internal voltage-converting IC.
