The Tim V3 Overdrive Pedal by Paul Cochrane is a highly sought-after pedal known for its exceptional features and performance. Here are the technical specifications and details:
- Power Requirements: The pedal runs on +9vdc with a current draw of 30ma. It uses the standard "center pin negative" 2.1mm power supplies. It cannot be run on higher voltages due to its internal voltage converting IC.
- Enclosure: The Tim V3 has a shorter enclosure than the previous versions, with all the pots on top and all the jacks on the back.
- Clipping Switch: It features a 3-way clipping switch with top, middle, and a new "open" asymmetrical setting, providing added versatility in shaping the overdrive tone.
- Hi-Cut Switch: A 3-way "Hi-Cut" switch is added to help the pedal sit better with brighter amps/speakers. It offers flat settings in the middle with -3dB @ 3khz and -3dB @ 1k5hz settings.
- FX Loop: The FX loop is now tied in with the boost for added flexibility in that mode.
- True Bypass: The new Tim V3 is true bypass, but controlled by a Soft Switch relay circuit that minimizes the loud pop/click when engaging the switches.
- Sound Characteristics: At low settings, the pedal effortlessly adds depth and complexity to the existing amp sound. As the gain is turned up and the pedal's EQ adjusted, it delivers smooth, singing, round, and reedy tones.
- Responsive: The pedal's responsiveness is akin to that of a great tube amplifier, responding immediately to the player's attack.
The Tim V3 Overdrive Pedal is a legend in the world of overdrive pedals, known for its transparent overdrive and exceptional tonal qualities. It is designed to cater to discerning tone enthusiasts and offers a wide range of sonic possibilities.
