The problem is that there are sooo many of pedals available and funds are limited, so I can only get so many, try them out decide which ones to keep and which ones to sell.....after a while you get pedal overload and just plain have too many pedals....that's where I'm finding myself. Even if I were rich and could afford to buy them all, how practical would it be to have 42 OD pedals ??

I figured out that I needed about three... Soul Food adds a little oomph... Sweet Honey adds a little more... Plimsoul continues and offers a different flavour for different guitars... (and a DS-1 for straight up distortion).

All I know is I don't have enough yet to make a good comparison. But I will by the end of this week. Right now my DS-1 is in the lead for best OD pedal I have. I'm hoping either the Timmy or one of the Marshalls will knock it out. I've got the Gov'Nor and the Blues Breaker II coming so we'll see.
I wanted to have a matching set of the Marshall pedals because the chorus sounded so good. I got them for a very good price, and the Timmy was much more expensive, so it had better be good. I wanted the Marshall because they are not BOSS as that's seems to be what everybody else has, I wanted something different.

Well the Timmy is here. First impressions is it seems to have a bit more hiss that I expected, but it can be quieted down with some fine tuning. It's got some dynamite gain. A definite improvement over the Tube Screamer I had. Much nicer, easier to tune in a great sounding grind....I can get a nice clean sound out of it too....turn it off and you can hear the A/B difference. It adds a lot to my pedalboard. Tweaking the tone controls gets rid of a lot of the hiss. Once the hiss is gone you get a very nice sounding distortion, a couple of notches above the DS-1 too. It doesn't take long to dial up a great sound. Maybe I'm expecting too much from an overdrive pedal, maybe they are supposed to have hiss ?? Once you get the settings right though, you're ready to rock and roll.
I've come down with a bad cold so I'm not really up to par myself....
