Have owned and sold this pedal at least 5 times... had been replaced with various clean boosts and other mild overdrives but it's back and staying. It's an unashamed Timmy clone and a pretty good one too. I find that the cheaper chinese pedals can have unwanted noise and often have too much spread on the pots so high gain sounds can cause noise issues compared to more expensive pedals, but this one is great even if you use the gain all the way up (which I don't). I use it too boost solos. I also use a TC Spark clean boost which is pretty much uncoloured. This one is not, but the sound is very nice. Can be used as an always on pedal too. Have used it to boost acoustic guitar too with nice results. For the money it's a great pedal if you're looking for a mild overdrive sound or a slightly coloured boost for leads. Probably one of the best budget pedals out there.Read full review

I have owned this pedal twice and sold it.. Due to owning expensive boost pedals which took it's place, but I keep one now as it is versatile as a boost for an acoustic or even a bass and still use it with my electric. It probably doesn't look good inside..but for the money you get a quiet, nice gentle boost up to medium gain boost. The best thing is the separate bass and treble controls which actually work and enable all kinds of nice sounds in conjunction with the gain and volume controls. I guess it's a Timmy clone, but have never owned one to compare... Just a great little budget pedal to have around, punches well above it's weight.

Very nice sounding overdrive with enough gain to break into full distortion while remaining fairly quiet. The EQ controls are effective and it has more bass than most pedals designed to do the same job. The only really odd thing about it is the lack of switching on the input jack and the short cable to attach a battery. There is space inside the case for a battery but it's not been designed to accommodate one. You have to use a power unit or remember to unplug the battery after each use or the battery will slowly drain. Yes it's a clone of the Timmy overdrive with modified EQ but it's my current favorite overdrive...for this week at least.

The audio quality of this little pedal is outstanding. It gives 4-5x clean boost and after that the output ranges from subtle breakup to full-on rock distortion. It doesn't sound all that great with full-on distribution into a clean amp but few pedals do. But hitting a cranked am on the edge of breakup it sounds great. At full rotation the tone controls produce a flat response. Turning the controls back produces bass and treble cut which is exactly what an overdrive pedal needs to do to keep the distortion sounding crisp. This is a keeper.

I love this pedal, lovely transparent low gain with the ability to tweak the sound with the treable and bass. I stacked an eq pedal before it and using it as a boost and extra eq possibilities, pushing the mids up gives it a tube screamer feel. A excellent pedal around.
