How do YOU use your Timmy?

As a clean boost?
As an overdrive into an allready overdrive channel?
As an overdrive into a clean amp?
With Fender type amps, or with Marshall type amps?
With humbuckers or with single coils?
In gigs, or in your bedroom?

Share please

Boost for both Fenders and LPs into Marshalls. Great for that extra push.

I use mine with the gain around 2:00, dip switches down, and an LM1458 chip installed stacked it into a DLS set on rock with the gain around 9:00. Each pedal sounds great alone and stacked. I am very happy with this setup. My main guitars are an AVRI Stratocaster and Custom Telecaster. My amps are an Egnater Rebel 20 and a '66 Princeton Reverb.

when I owned the SHO, I used my Timmy as a light overdrive into the clean channel of my dual channels amp, Fender type clean for sure.
When I found the clean boost function of my Timmy is amazing, I sold my SHO and got a Tim. Now, I'm using my Tim as a clean boost & overdrive into the clean channel of my amp and my Timmy is pairing with the dirt channel of the amp, as a gain boost.
I play both singles and humbuckers whatever in gigs or my bedroom, they do sound great with Tim and Timmy.

Lately, I've been leaving my Timmy on all the time, as part of my base tone, and my other gain pedals running into it. Gain is around 11:00, both dip switches are down, and I usually run my Strat or Tele -> pedalboard -> '59 Bassman LTD. I've been getting a lot of compliments recently at gigs with this setup, so I think I'm going to leave it alone!

I've been using it on all the time as well. Gain set at about 1:30 and Volume at 11:30...use the volume on the guitar for leads and I boost it with another OD if I want more sustain. It goes into a Fender HRD or a Top Hat CR.

I use mine primarily as a lead boost. When I first got the pedal, I didn't really appreciate all its subtleties. I just ordered one because everyone on TGP did! Besides, I had to wait a year to get it, so I thought I might as well get on the list.

For me, it's the ultimate boost pedal, and it sounds great with everything.

Almost always on set to low gain, everything goes through it.

At the end of my chain stacking various overdrives into it (Zendrive + Tim = Lead tone). Its the always pedal thats always on other then my SHO. I set it for light drive and find I can get clean enough tones by varying my pick attack.

I use mine with a Les Paul, gain around 2:00, run into a DAM Red Rooster, and adjust guitar volume accordingly. Love love love this combination.

Like many other posters, I use mine after OD's, always on, set to very low gain. It just improves everything!

But, I've learned here recently that I might be the Lone Ranger on matching it to my rig. I use mostly single coils into vintage Fender amps and I love it. Apparently it was designed to be used with British-voiced amps. Oh well. Works for me though!!
