Sweet, harmonic breakup that responds to playing dynamics.
The MXR Timmy Overdrive is a premium overdrive pedal designed to punch up your tone without sacrificing its essential qualities. Created by legendary pedal designer Paul Cochrane and produced in collaboration with Jim Dunlop Manufacturing, the MXR Timmy Overdrive provides a vast tonal palette and dynamic responsiveness that has earned it a reputation as a "working guitarist's dream.
Cut-Only Tone Controls Keep Your Core Sound Intact
The MXR Timmy Overdrive's Bass and Treble controls are cut-only, allowing you to reduce unwanted low and high-end frequencies without overhyping your signal. The Bass control affects your pre-overdrive signal, giving you a tight, focused low end even at low gain settings. The Treble control impacts your post-overdrive signal, smoothing out gritty tones and bringing shimmering harmonics to the mix.
Three Selectable Clipping Profiles for Any Musical Situation
The Timmy Overdrive's three-way Clip switch provides three distinct clipping profiles to suit any playing style. Select from a lightly saturated, touch-responsive overdrive with plenty of headroom, a compressed mid-gain overdrive perfect for full chords, or a massive high-gain distortion ideal for searing solos.
Independent Gain and Volume Controls for Precise Tone Shaping
The Timmy Overdrive gives you independent control over the amount of overdrive and the overall output level. Use the Gain knob to dial in anything from a clean boost to fully saturated distortion, then adjust the Volume knob to balance levels with your bypassed tone. This allows for precise fine tuning of your overdriven tone without impacting its volume.
Road-Ready and Pedalboard-Friendly
Housed in MXR's mini enclosure, the Timmy Overdrive is a space-efficient solution for any pedalboard. It features a durable, lightweight aluminum chassis, sturdy footswitches and jacks, and a convenient 9V DC power jack. The Timmy Overdrive's premium components and rugged build quality make it ideal for use on stage, in the studio or anywhere else your music takes you.
