Description
The MXR CSP027 Timmy Custom Shop pedal puts Paul Cochrane’s legendary overdrive circuit into a compact MXR mini housing, giving pedalboard builders the celebrated Timmy tone without sacrificing real estate. Cochrane’s design has earned a devoted following among top-tier players for its ability to add grit and texture without steamrolling the natural voice of your guitar and amp.
- Wide-ranging gain response, from subtle grind to fuller saturation
- Transparent EQ shaping that reinforces your rig’s core tone instead of masking it
- Compact MXR mini enclosure for tighter pedalboard layouts
- Based on Paul Cochrane’s original Timmy circuit design
Place it early in your signal chain as an always-on tone shaper, or stack it ahead of higher-gain drives to tighten up low end and add clarity. Its transparent character makes it equally at home boosting a clean amp into breakup or sitting quietly in front of a fuzz, adding just enough push without coloring the sound underneath.
The circuit’s reputation runs deep: Nashville session ace Kenny Greenberg, L.A. first-call player Lyle Workman, and Aerosmith’s Brad Whitford have all relied on the Timmy design for its responsive, musical drive. Now built into MXR’s smaller footprint, this Custom Shop edition brings that same pedigree to boards where space is at a premium.
