Can you still get pedals from him? I know once upon a time there was a huge waiting list. Really looking to get my hands on one. Anyone know the scoop?

Trying to get ahold of a Tim pedal but having zero luck finding one. Trying to figure out what is going on with them - i dont even remember if dealers existed for them - which brings up the question of whether you can still buy direct or what is going on?
Maybe Brad or someone knows?
& Thanks for the heads up

I just bought (2) limited edition Timmy's (Red & Seafoam green). Theses have a different chip inside than your normal Timmy. Sounds great with my Bogner's....very transparent pedal for sure!

I have a seafoam green Timmy that I love...never realized it was different from the original though. Any ideas what the functional/tonal differences are, if any?

You guys rule - much appreciated!
I had no idea there were different versions for the Timmy. Definitely would be cool to know the differences/purposes of each. I will try and give him a call and see whats up. I have heard he is extremely humble

The coolest thing to me about the Timmy is how the eq works, making it perfect for a lead boost with an already overdriven amp. The treble and bass knobs are actually cut knobs, decreasing those frequencies as you turn the knobs up. I run the treble around noon and the bass around 2:00 and it really focuses my lead tone in on the midrange to nicely cut through a mix (and it never gets nasally). Conversely, I turn them basically the whole way down if I'm using it as an overdrive for dirty rhythm/chord tones. It's a really cool pedal that brings a lot of function and versatility to the table in a simple package...definitely try one out.

From Paul C:
"I decided to change the chip in the batch to the LM1458 for something a tiny bit smoother. It's in a socket, so it's easy to change it back to the stock 4559 if somebody wants. These will only be available from humbucker - they're getting the whole batch."

Tim/Timmy pedals
"The green pedals used a LM1458 instead of the standard 4559. I made that known when I put these out, and that's what the op is talking about. It was never about the color - just the sound of the chip used in the different colored batch.

tim/Timmy pedals
From other threads on TGP:
"I've owned both and I prefer the surf green Timmy to the blue one. It's a little bit smoother to my ears... not as harsh."
From another TGP post:
"The LM1458 is great in the Timmy. I tried out a half dozen different chips and easily liked that one best. It's a tad lower gain-wise, but it smooths out the top end in a really nice way. I've been running it in there for at least a year and a half. "

That would explain why I like it so much as a lead boost. I'd probably like the original one more as a basis for an overall dirty tone.SLOgriff":13lt3fc4 said:

I've been preaching these pedals for eons and have never come across any one of them to be harsh. 
IMO Paul makes one of the most natural sounding OD's out there.

I agree, you definitely have to filter out a lot to get to the info.
The scary part is that these pedals could reach ridiculous prices.

Tim is by far one of my favorites. Gave me everything I could get with Timmy, plus a little bit more. Was worried about it when I heard he was halting production. Then I read some of those threads and saw that Paul mentioned he was just taking a break from Tim production to focus on Timmy for a little while.
