The MXR Timmy Overdrive brings legendary tone craftsmanship to your pedalboard in a space-saving mini housing that doesn’t compromise on professional performance. This collaboration between veteran pedal builder Paul Cochrane and the MXR design team has created an overdrive that preserves your rig’s fundamental voice while adding gritty, textured tones. High-level professionals including Nashville’s Kenny Greenberg, L.A.’s Lyle Workman, and rockstar Brad Whitford have widely celebrated Paul’s original design.
The pedal’s innovative Clip switch offers three distinct clipping styles to suit multiple scenarios — from big, bold always-on sounds with massive headroom for slamming your amp’s front end, to more compressed and saturated tones perfect for fat chords. Paul’s inventive Bass and Treble controls provide cut-only operation, maintaining your signal’s character while making clean boost dialling incredibly straightforward. The Bass control affects your pre-overdrive signal to maintain low end at lower Gain settings, while the Treble control works on your post-overdrive signal for smooth, musical dirty tones.
The MXR team collaborated with Paul to select the LF353 op-amp, a component highly regarded by Dunlop engineers for its high output, high gain, and hi-fi signal delivery. This professional-grade pedal responds beautifully to playing dynamics while maintaining your rig’s personality, all packed into a fraction of standard pedal size for serious pedalboard space savings.
