Paul Cochrane ‘Timmy’ Overdrive Pedal - USA

Here is a Paul Cochrane Timmy overdrive pedal, hand-built in the USA and widely regarded as one of the most transparent and musical overdrives available. The Timmy is the more compact sibling of the acclaimed “Tim” pedal, sharing the same foundational circuit philosophy but in a simplified, highly refined format that has earned it a reputation as a benchmark in low-gain and transparent drive design.

This example features an exceptionally simple yet highly effective circuit design that delivers everything from completely clean boost through to smooth, articulate overdrive. Known for its ability to preserve the natural character of your guitar and amplifier, the Timmy responds with outstanding clarity and dynamics, making it ideal for players who want gain without sacrificing tone integrity. Its highly effective EQ section allows precise shaping of bass and treble frequencies, enabling seamless integration with a wide variety of amplifiers and setups. Whether used as a clean boost, subtle edge-of-breakup overdrive, or stacked with other pedals, it remains extremely responsive and musical at all settings.

Condition is excellent with everything functioning as it should. A highly respected boutique overdrive with a cult following, prized for its transparency, versatility, and exceptional touch sensitivity.
