NPD: Timmy V3

Vintage-T

After a long wait and a scandalous customs charge....it's finally arrived: 


Hope it's as good as I remember from the Tim pedal I had and stupidly sold.

Congrats!! Did you get it from a UK dealer or did you have to import it?

I would think import as he paid customs charge.

Ah, that'll learn me to read stuff. Pretty pictures are distracting.

Only 1 shop selling them as far as I’m aware Humbucker Music in Georgia.

dibs please

I know this is ridiculous but that knob layout would irritate me!! Why not have bass and treble, and vol and gain side by side or at least above each other?!

....bet it sounds great though. Congrats.

What does the little switch do?

Different gain stages 

Vintage-T

Explanation of all features:

1) The external switch is now a gain boost, offering far more gain range than any previous version of Paul's pedals.

2) The amount of overdrive from the Gain pot has actually been reduced so that it works much better with BOTH positions of the Gain Boost switch. It's now easier to dial in precisely where you want the breakup level to be.

3) Non-reversed Bass & Treble pots. The non-reversed pots addresses those that wished for a more intuitive and conventional knob function. No more turning the bass and treble knobs up to reduce the frequencies.

4) The 1458 opamp is back! How is it different than the standard 4559? Paul feels it's a tiny (and he does mean TINY) bit less harsh on the top end and a bit less saturated. Still, you have to "squint your ears" to hear it, as Paul says.

5) The symmetrical/asymmetrical clipping switch has been moved to an internal dip switch, which is the previous top and middle position of the switch.

I love my V2. 

Paul is an excellent human. I hope he does a Tim again.

I love that he has a Monty Python's Holy Grail reference on there...how many people pick up on that I wonder?

Notice any difference to V2?

Never had the V2, just had a Tim previously. Haven't really had much time yet to put it to test. Sounds great though, all the usual elements that made the Tim a great pedal are there, need some time over the weekend to really dial it in.

The Monty Python reference is enough to make me not want to buy one.

It's only a pedal.
