So I thought today's arrival was going to get me all giddy and might end my search for a low-medium gain drive pedal to help boost my amp, but it's let me feeling a wee bit deflated. This is the culprit:
I've got a Tim clone already, and a Dano TOD V1, but with all the hype and the fact that this pedal has the smoother
LM1458 chip, I was expecting just a little more magic than the two clones, but I'm sad to say, I just wasn't feeling it.
I've only been playing at bedroom volumes tonight, so I'm hoping that when I can really open my amp up, the pedal will start to shine a little.
Anyone else feel the same about the Timmy? Over-hyped?

Actually I always loved my Tim.
Ive got an original Timmy chip you can have if you wanna try the original one?
I'm sure the TOD V1 and my Tim clone are probably similar to the original chip, they sound very slightly different.
Maybe it just doesn't suit my amp? I'm running into a JVM410h, and much prefer my Kinglsayer (modded Klon clone)
I think they sound great through loud, clean Fenders. Not the best at bedroom volume, I prefer a SHOD for that.
I would have suggested the Wampler Ecstasy/Euphoria as I have just built one, and to my ears it's amazing at the low-mid gain stuff. I have read that it is similar to a Timmy though, so maybe not a good choice.
The forum pedal of choice for this seems to be the Liquid Sunshine.
