A three-position Clip switch selects asymmetrical medium, symmetrical light, or asymmetrical full saturation. Bass is a cut-only pre-overdrive control; Treble is cut-only post-overdrive, which keeps clean-boost and gain settings easier to balance across different amps.
An LF353 op-amp drives the circuit for high output headroom in the mini enclosure. True hardwire bypass and side-mounted jacks suit tight boards where a full-size Timmy would not fit beside other drives.
This is the MXR Custom Shop collaboration, not an original hand-wired Cochrane pedal. Keep that distinction when comparing vintage builds or boutique Timmy variants found on the used market.
