As the gain is turned up and the EQ adjusted accordingly, smooth, singing, round, and reedy tones are at your fingertips — the Tim responds immediately to your right hand's attack, just like a great tube amplifier. What's New in V3A 3-way clipping switch keeps the same top and middle settings as before, with a new third, more "open" asymmetrical settingA 3-way Hi-Cut switch helps it sit better with brighter amps and speakersThe FX loop is now tied in with the boost for added flexibility in that modeTrue bypass, controlled by a Soft Switch relay circuit that minimizes the loud pop/click some pedals have when switchingThe EQ now works intuitively — turning Bass and Treble left "cuts" those frequencies, unlike earlier reversed-pot versions Why This One's SpecialPaul Cochrane's twin-footswitch Tim remains one of the most iconic boutique overdrive pedals on the market, helping to popularize the term "transparent overdrive." Cochrane builds these by hand in small runs, and they routinely sell out within hours of restocking — driving real scarcity-based demand on the used market. Power requirement: Runs on +9VDC only with a 30mA current draw, using a standard center-negative 2.1mm power supply — it does not have an internal 9V battery and cannot run on higher voltages due to its internal voltage-converting IC.
