Members DJLantz444 Posted May 3, 2006 Members Share Posted May 3, 2006 I've been using the Timmy, but the bass response isn't quite as good as I'd like. Then I have to turn down the bass and my whole sound is a bit too trebly. I hear you can mod the Timmy's but I'm not handy at all with that stuff. Any suggestions? Eternity? Zendrive?

Members DJLantz444 Posted May 3, 2006 Author Members Share Posted May 3, 2006 I don't need much gain, would an RC Booster be enough for blues comping/adding some grit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Arjae Posted May 3, 2006 Members Share Posted May 3, 2006 RC Booster with the COT50 running into it is a great combination. The RC Booster itself with give you plenty of girth and then the COT50 will give you the sweet, dynamic, pick responsive breakup and cutting tone. I love my Eternity but I find myself using the RC + 50 stack more and more each day. An Eternity would be a great choice as well. Also, take a look at the Skreddy Screw Driver. Does great low gain and has really cool tone controls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the RC + COT is much more practical for what I play. The RC could also double for a really warm clean boost when I play jazz (so could the Timmy, I suppose). I'm not sure. What can the RC do that the Timmy can't t hat would make it worth my time to trade with someone? I'm sure it'll fix my bass problem, but is there any other reason i should be looking at the RC, Arjae? I just don't want to really miss my Timmy afterwards. While I'm not thrilled with it now, I'm not sure if I"ll like the RC Boost more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members erksin Posted May 3, 2006 Members Share Posted May 3, 2006 I *think* the Timmy has more gain than the RC, so maybe you'd like the RC more. A Reverend Drivetrain II is also another good pedal in the Timmy vein, but it needs to be opened up quite a bit volume-wise to get to the good stuff... How much gain are you using with the Timmy, and where are you setting the Bass and Treble controls? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DJLantz444 Posted May 3, 2006 Author Members Share Posted May 3, 2006 Timmy : Gain 10:30, Rest around 12 (Varies a bit sometimes) I just closed a trade on the RC Boost, though. Hopefully that'll be for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully that'll be for me. Well, those settings usually give a pretty tight but full bass response. Give the RC a try - it's a good pedal from what I've read. One thing I can tell you is don't go for an AC Booster if you don't like the RC - it's very similar to the Timmy IMO... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I don't know why I need such a versatile pedal when I'm only using it as a boost. I made my trade, and I made $20 in the deal, so, hopefully the RC Booster will live up to the Timmy on those settings.. and I'll be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
