Right, they appear to have:
a) A fancy website
b) lots and lots of products.
AFAIK Paul Cochrane makes every Timmy pedal by hand with a ciggie between his lips in his shed.
I'm not saying he deserves to be ripped off less by the way.

A true bypass loop for $230.
TWO HUNDRED AND THIRTY BUCKS?
Seriously, fuck that company. I make one in a box half that size for £35.

They rip people off so much with this pedal, they decided to just call it the "Hi-Ball"

$415 for an international customer? Woo!

"gallium arsenide phosphide light emitting diodes"
Amazing. Like that isn't just complete psychobabble to fox people. GaAsP is basically how we make LEDs these days.

Screen-printed Frantone enclosures look nifty.

So, is the Overdrive worth the $40? I'm about to buy one if it gets the Mike seal of approval.

Well it's definitely probably the best Overdrive you could buy for that price. The EQ controls are really great for adding bite and removing woof.

I'm gonna demo them both when I have some time. I'm off my feet at the moment though. Maybe this weekend.
The fuzz is very, very good.

i borted the drive off ebay for 33 posted. i don't actually have an overdrive and this seems like the most cost effective solution.

It's not middy, right? I like bright sounding shit, like the Rat with the gain set at 10 o'clock.

Goddamn HC cunts. I was adding packs of strings to my order since they are on sale, and then go to check out and the fucking pedal is on backorder.
