Fat Sound's Take

The Tim pedal's little brother with all of the tone of its larger sibling, but lacking the send and return jacks as well as the boost channel and boost controls. For those desiring Tim tone in a simpler, more space efficient size.

A pedal of near mythic proportions, the Timmy pedal works in conjunction with your amplifier's natural tone to add anything from a mild boost to a strong overdrive without changing the overall character or architecture of your favorite amp's inherent tone.

A wonderful, natural enhancement to your tone that is extremely organic.

At low settings you will be able to effortlessly achieve a sound that is simply "more" of what your amp already offers. As the gain is turned up, and the pedal's EQ adjusted accordingly, smooth, singing, round and reedy tones are at your fingertips.

The Timmy pedal's responsiveness is exactly like that of a great, tube amplifier in that it responds immediately to your right hand's attack.

Features

• 9 Volt battery or AC adapter operation
• Controls: Gain, Bass, Treble, Volume
• Amazing tone and touch sensitivity
• Internal dip switches mirror the push/pull pot on the rear of the Tim pedal for selectable modes of more gain or asymmetrical clipping

"Stu:

Just wanted to let you know how blown away I am with the Timmy pedal. It by far is already my favorite overdrive pedal...and I have everything from [Ed: names of other pedals brands removed out of fairness to several brands that we don't carry] plus many others. It was definitely worth the wait! I'm now wishing I had bought two of them!

Appreciate your incredible customer service..you guys rock."

"Wow!

I only got a few minutes with the pedal yesterday evening and at low volumes. I ran it with a Fender Strat and a HIWATT Custom 50. I chose these because they are as clean as you can get. All I can say is wow. That is the best pedal I have ever heard. I heard the Guitar, I heard the Pedal and I heard the amp. This was new to me. Typically with all other pedals, you lose either the amp or the guitar’ true tone. I will be sure to melt my ears this weekend at higher volumes with the pedal."

Fat Sound's Take

Timmy's Big Brother offers all of the tonal range and touch sensitive dynamics of the Timmy, but with a second boost stage and corresponding Boost Gain and Tone controls on the top of the pedal for even greater versatility along with a post series fx loop for stacking clean boost, overdrive, distortion or EQ pedals.

Virtually no midrange increase for a truly transparent boost pedal that is effectively like adding a second channel to any amp or adding additional colors to the tonal palette of a multi-channel amp. The Timmy's lack of compression helps retain a wonderful stringiness to your guitar's lower notes without the mush inherent with many lesser designs.

With Treble and Bass at zero (7:00) they are set flat for a true, non-colored clean boost. By having a pre-distortion Bass control and post-distortion Treble control the common mid hump that makes most overdrive pedals sound and feel....pedaly......is eliminated. This also means that when you step on the Tim or Timmy pedals in a live mix you cut through rather than disappearing just when you most likely need to be heard the most.

One of the absolute best clean boost to smooth overdrive pedals ever designed.

Features

• 9 Volt battery or AC adapter operation
• Top Controls: Gain, pre-distortion Bass, post-distortion Treble, Volume
• Rear Controls: Boost level and Tone, Pull Pot for a faster reacting clipping time for increased distortion and compression at lower signal levels (effects both modes)
• Post Series FX Loop allows placement of pedals after the Tim for stacking

"Hey Stu,

I just got the Tim pedal today. I've never experienced anything like it!!!!! This may be the perfect pedal! Playing it through my Morgan RV35 yields absolutely amazing, singing, tone. I mention this because the RV35 is a Fender/Vox mix. Anything with even a little Vox pedigree in it is usually very temperamental when it comes to pedals, as I'm sure you already know. This is the most touch sensitive, responsive, stringy, juicy, singing, and transparent pedal I have ever played. I'm finally done looking for the perfect OD pedal........this is it!!!! Thanks for bringing them to my attention."

"Hi Stu,

After a few months of wait the TIM arrived last week and now I picked it up from the customs. Still fooling around with it but I can definitely say, this is one of the best low-gain overdrive pedals I ever played. It sounds lovely with my Les Paul and I can't wait to try it out LOUD with my 60ies AC30.

Thanks for making it easy and comfortable to purchase this rare pedal and I already thinking about reserving a Timmy as well, because I want to have one on my
board and a second pedal for home use.

All the best and thanks again."
