MXR custom shop Timmy Mini overdrive
Product information "MXR custom shop Timmy Mini overdrive"
Paul Cochrane's Timmy overdrive pedal has a legendary reputation, the pedal, which is only available direct to order in the USA, is considered one of the best transparent overdrive pedals of all time. In co-operation with Paul Cochrane, the MXR Custom Shop has released a mini version of the legendary Timmy pedal - the CSP027 Timmy. The technical features are similar to its "big" relative: a 2-band tone control that works as a cut and leaves the basic sound of the guitar and amp virtually unaffected and a 3-way clipping switch that can be used to switch between symmetrical (high and low) and asymmetrical clipping - from slight distortion to full crunch.

Ich habe noch keinen Original Tim von Paul Cochrane gespielt. Diese Kompaktversion von MXR klingt 'ganz OK', aber leider eher eindimensional und eng, halt nach Pedal und nicht 'Amp-like', besonders im Low Gain Bereich. Verglichen habe ich mit einem Greer Lightspeed und einem Jan Ray, beides deutlich interessantere Pedale.
Schön klein, Potis schön schwergängig, geht früh in (für mich) zuviel Zerre. Wird schnell bollerig in den Bässen. Wampler Tumnus Deluxe V2 fand ich besser, aber beide kommen in Sachen Ausgewogenheit, Druck und Transparenz nicht gegen meinen alten Tubeman I an.
