Effects - Pedals, Multi-Effects, and Floor Boxes

[thom]

I'm sure there's tons of people who still swear by the Timmy overdrive, but I'm even more sure that a lot of the guys who were on a waiting list and payed twice today's price, have sold theirs to buy the next week's flavour...Right??

I'm good on dirt peds right now, but if I do fail to resist my gas, I might look for a low gain overdrive pedlol... 

Not the sort of pedal I'm normally intersted in, but I'm kinda digging my Boss OD-1 lately, and I'm just wondering what else is out there. A couple low gain od recommendations would be welcome. Small foorprint, sub $140ish new, true bypass, easily available, decent build quality (ie no chinese clones, behringer, etc)...

All I can think off of the top of my head are a couple of classics: SHO, LPB-1, MicroAmp,...

In b4 klon btw

i only swear by a rat.

i only swear by fuzz fact because facts are facts

I know a couple of guys that still love the Timmy, and I'd like to try one just to see. I bought a Dano transparent OD, but it's been pretty disappointing really.

Honestly I've never tried a timmy.

He fell in the well.

Timmy's been dressing up as of late.

What's left?

Emptied wallets, clones everywhere, hype nuts busted a million times over many a forum's face and toan sex face on the mug of every chump that thought it was the holy grail.

Still it works well, Paul C is cool guy for designing it, shame he got rumpfuggled.

I think the fad has not run out of steam yet... It's pretty rare to finda store with instock Timmys. I called Paul C a few weeks back, and the back order was about a week or two. I still have the Dano TOD... which has busted about 5-6 times, but still sounds pretty good.

[V]

Is it really a fad if it lasts like 10+ years?

[PKTrono]

in the grand scheme... maybe? time will tell

[lefort_1]

I'd take two fistfulls of Aim's sig before I I'd re-buy a T|m

[Texas Noise Fa…]

They still sell used for more than I'm willing to spend, so..... Whatever.

dat jan ray

I still dig my Timmy very much. The Barber LTD variants and the new Gain Changer are similar in terms of price/qualitygain range if you're averse to the Timmy. FWIW I prefer the Timmy for stacking and the Barber stuff for stand alone OD duties.

dis.

im actually going to pick up a cheap used timmy v2 tonight glad to have it back on my board. going to build a jan ray clone too soon and see how its holds up to the original

Timmy/Tim love still strong at tgp.  Now that the Tim is out of production you should get them before they turn into the new Klon.  By the way, I have a Tim and really like it. 

I didn't read all of the replies here, but the Analogman KOT and POT (which I haven't actually tried, but is one half a KOT) are very good pedals similar to the Timmy/Tim, IMHO.  I often switch between the two.  Tim is a little more clear and "modern" sounding, while the KOT is a little rougher around the edges, more bluesy to my ears. 

I wonder if any of this makes sense, since I'm suffering from jet-lag and kind of drunk.

[macadood]

got my timmy today and its as good as ever! :cattongue:

something just so good about it in terms of stacking it with other dirts, either before or after, it always just seems to play nice and sound great
