Just Got a Timmy - Do I need a Tim?

[Unadan]

Just got my Timmy about a month ago and have it after my OCD in my signal chain. Man the combo of these two pedals cover a lot of ground! I'm really digging the sounds I'm getting from them. Is there a reason for me to get a Tim? Would adding a Tim along with a Timmy/OCD be beneficial or get me somewhere I'm not getting without the Tim?

I don't think so. Unless you're gonna use the fx loop or something. The boost just adds more gain, not a volume boost, which I don't really care for. And the Tim is awkwardly shaped IMHO and takes up a lot of real estate on your board. I think you'll be able to cover enough bases with an OCD and a Timmy. Maybe get a treble booster or a clean boost and put it after those two dirt pedals. I think that would be much more beneficial than a Tim.

I have a Tim but I wish I had a Timmy. I'm gonna wait for PaulC to release the new model Timmy to order one, unless he is taking orders for it now. Anyone know?

I have both -- and despite its admittedly ungainly box, generally prefer the Tim. That said, I recently ran out of room on my board and had to mothball the Tim in favor of the Timmy. After a month or so, I've gotten used to the Timmy. The tones are there in both pedals.

I've got a Timmy but ordered the new Timmy and Tim, one for the board the other for grab n go amp!

So he is taking orders for the new ones now?

Can someone please explain the differences in the "NEW" models? I had no idea new ones were being made! Thanks.

Like you, I ordered a Timmy and was so chuffed, I couldn't help but wonder what I was missing

And they do sound different, with Timmy having a slightly rawer, grittier tone, IMO. Of course, my Timmy's only got 4 clipping diodes, as opposed to the 6 they've been shipping with since mid '06 when Paul added them to the circuit to get it a little 'smoother', like TIM

Most players prefer the size & shape of Timmy, but you'll never hear anyone complain about the tone they get from TIM, and you even can take that a lot further by adding an equalizer to the loop, which I believe is its primary purpose.

Sorry to jack your thread OP, but maybe this will interest you too

I am thinking of adding a beano boost to my rig. Maybe that's the way to go. Thanks!

I just wish Paul C checked his email from time to time.. Written 3 emails to him since the summer expressing my wish to order a Timmy, but I've never got a response. I know he prefer phonecalls, but my english isn't that great!

All I want is a Timmy!!!

You have to call him. He rarely checks his email. Call him in the evening.

I own both and I don't think you need both. If I could only have one. It would be the Tim. Can't go wrong with either one though.

You need to call Paul your self. I don't know what the wait time will be if you order now but I ordered mine last July and expect to get it next week.

I run a Beano Boost in front of my Timmy and it is amazing (to me).

I like the Timmy infront of my OCD V4(18v) much better,then the other way around...

No problemo. Like Songman said, it is better to call Paul up. Very cool and honest guy to deal with.
