In addition to comparing these overdrive pedals, the video may be useful to evaluate this amp as a pedal platform.

The best test of pedals I've heard. Simple single notes and chords done the same for each pedal. The character of each pedal can truly be heard and compared. Some are very tame others really color your tone. The SL drive gets a good 70's rocking Marshall tone, but I wouldn't use it in other contexts. The BB and Dude impressed me the most. The Tumnus is much like a boost. All usable sounds, depending on what you want.

Thanks for your feedback and opinion! That’s exactly why I made this video!

Thanks for this. A really useful comparison and very helpful in my quest. I liked the Tumnus best and then the BB Preamp.

[@guil_juliao]

Tumnus sounded the most natural to me. Timmy is amazing but a bit bassy. Surprised on how good the Simble sounded. Greta demo man!

[@svarthelikoptern]

Nice demo. The Timmy's treble and bass knobs should be at zero for transparent boost. Essentially they work as a cut, i.e. to cut bass you turn the bass knob up.

Thanks for the explanation!

I liked the SL pedal and BB preamp most for some reason and the Tumnus was cool too....Tumnus had a midrange thing I liked.

Timmy sounds best until 12 o'clock

[@frajem]

Thank you for your comment! I’m interested in how people use this pedal. As standalone or in combination with a specific type of pedal?

[@mdl12321]

@@frajem Now i use Spark mini into Timmy into Blue Note and the overal sound is soft and sweet. I am going to keep BN, which sounds softer than Timmy, and try to replace the other two with 3rd pedal of my choice. You see, for my needs BN is a keeper, but if you prefer rougher edges of low gain sound f.e. for crunchier sound signature, you may like Timmy more.

Michal Dlouhý I didn’t know the Blue Note, i should give it a try. I thought that already Timmy was soft and smoothing things out as a last pedal in the chain, but now I need to try this Blue Note. Thank you.

Blue note is a tube screamer inspired cicuit
