A peice of my childhood
Okay. is it so gainy it's almost unusable? YES, but is it a legendary piece of music and technology culture yes. It is hilariously over gained but every kid who learned to play guitar in the 90s had one and loves it to this very day!

Classic for a reason!
This is a classic for a reason. it doesn't get the fan-boy level love that a lot of other boss pedals do ... But I'll bet it's on way more albums than most. Just ask Steve Vai. On the other side please bear in mind this is a distortion, not an OverDrive.

very afordable 10 band eq
this is a great eq for the money! I'm impressed. It can also function as a boost pedal to push amps, overdrives, or just clean increase to your core tone volume!

It does everything it claims to do!
Plain and simple these are 5 isolated power ports with 125 mA max current draw each and that's just all there is to it. If your board has exceeded you power supply, (and you don't have a super high end modular power system) get one of these and have a quick diy modular system!

The best DI/LI out there!
Walrus Audio Canvas Mono Direct Injection Box is straight-up the best DI/LI out there. don't forget about the stereo one too. If you use amp modeling and run straight to the desk, do yourself a favor and get a good DI box like this!

Everything I hoped it would be!
This has totally delivered on the promise of giving me those classic Fender tones of my dreams! After registering the pedal with the app you get more speaker modeling options. I have not come close to fully exploring this pedal and I'm already in love with the tones!

for the money this think is a tank!
This little looper provides infinite overdubs. intuitive controls. Half Speed and reverse looping. And it is so affordable if you can find one!

Other worldly sounds!
I know I KNOW! There aren't any vanilla reverb sounds on this thing ... that's the point. The Darkstar is for making otherworldy insane reverberating soundscapes and it does it like no other!

One of the most reliable tap controllers
I know tap controllers aren't sexy but if you need one you should get a quality one and this one is great! go MXR!

Doesn't Get enough Credit!
Everyone loves the CE-2 (and with good reason) the CH-1 Supper chorus has more tone-shaping options, sounds just as good, and is easier to find in many instances.

What's not to love?
We all know the Volume x series and its awesome ... this is just the littlest brother! It just works for me! Great sweep fits on a board with limited space for a big treadle peddle.

SO Much functionality!
It is crazy that so much gain functionality can be fit into one little box. The different clipping options in the drive section are amazing. the boost section is perfect. This is likely going to be on my board forever!

legendary Sound!
Second fiddle only to the MXR Phase 90 right? This thing is amazing. Great sound. Super easy and intuitive controls. Great size from a legendary company!

Reliable and compact
This Is the old reliable crybaby in a compact size. What's not to love? The three voices from internal dipswitches are cool!

I'm really happy with mine.
I love the build quality, I love the size and I love the silly branding. It works great and it's been my cinpeessor if choice for Years now!

For the money ... it's kinda amazing!
Look it's not a high end isolated power supply, but ... it has an awesome variety of voltages and mA current outputs and it served me well for years with no noise issues untill I was ready to spring foe the CS12. I'm not the least bit disappointed with it!

It's a classic for a reason!
It is a classic for a reason! It's on countless pro boards! It is the quintessential analogue delay. Warm tone - easy controls - great build quality! This is the delay you've been looking for. (I usually leave the "MOD" button on the warm up the repeats even more).

Better than you'd expect.
For a mini pedal on a budget ... it is pretty spectacular. Are there better octave pedals out there? Yes? But not for the financial cost or the space on your pedal board's real-estate. I love it! Place it on the board as early as tou can in the chain and enjoy the decent, intuitive, octave (up and down) generation. I have third in my signal chain right after my tuner and compressor!

Way better than you think!
For a solid state amp this thing has no business sounding this good! I absolutely love it. The gain Chanel leaves a little to be desired but the clean Channel is everything you want from much more expensive Fender Combo amps. The speaker is amazing and a real spring tank. This thing is an unknown jewel!

I love it!
The other gain stages in my rig are a revolving door but the Timmy is constant. I'll never not have one. I use it as the light/first gain stage for dynamic response and to push higher gain stages down the chain. Whatever "transparent" means ... the Timmy definitely is what we mean when we say that silly word. It definitely lives up the the hype!
