OVERDRIVE- MOGOO Timmy ...ouch!


 MOGOO TIMMY OD 
$36.00 USD
OK What's going on?
It is that time of the year where Mogoo releases their classic
counterfeit pedals before the pedal police order their annual cease and desist.
Right now you can get the famous Timmy. At least Mogoo have
the pride to copy INSIDE as well as out.
In short it is a true clone.

Timmy is hand made by Paul Cochrane who has been making these as a hobby since 2000. He enjoys his day job and family life.
In short sometimes he makes very, very few.
He often changes the colour of the pedal or the color just for fun.
A few times he made small mods ...and then a few years later
went back to v.1 or maybe v.2. LOL
The only thing he does not change is the price. It is still $130.00
new. Mind you a used one could go for several hundred!
The one on the right is a fake v.1 clone.

Version V1
the switch on newer ones is
outside the pedal.

2019 Real Timmy $130.00 USD
CONCLUSION
I hate to tell you but real or fake it is a Tube Screamer with a good ol' JRC4558 OpAmp chip!
