Paul Cochrane Timmy Clone

"A pedal of near mythic proportions, the Timmy pedal works in conjunction with your amplifier's natural tone to add anything from a mild boost to a strong overdrive without changing the overall character or architecture of your favourite amp's inherent tone."

A kit of components as recommended by Ivlark for assembly of the Paul Cochrane Timmy stripboard project (version 1).
