Paul C's TIMMY overdrive vs Gearmanndude's LUTHER DRIVE guitar effects pedal shootout

check out http://www.jaguaramplification.com for info about my new amp...their prices are very much in line with Dr Z Amplifiers, so don't let the MSRP scare ya! This is the Paul Cochrane Timmy pedal, which is one of my favorites. I had a few requests for a shoot out against my Lutherdrive, which is nothing like Paul's pedal...but I'm always up to the task! If ya want one a Timmy, get on THE GEAR PAGE, and get his number...he's a great dude, and will hook you up with the master boutique overdrive. I ran them both a little hotter than I like them, but that was just where I was at today...

That Timmy does sound freaking awesome.

[spratty59]

think i prefer luther

[nymetsrock]

wow, i think i might actually prefer the luther

[centrothl]

wow! Luther wins. Great pedal dude, it also wins against the TS.

[thetreemind]

Very close! Price wise YOU win! 

[achrisisaac]

Any chance you'll upload higher quality videos?? The audio is degraded in 240p.

Timmy has more choices, prob a better dist; luther still comes in clearer and suprisingly bassier! Glad I just ordered my LD, but Timmy is def up there on the list!

[tothetop777]

hey gear man dude you did a great job with the L drive I think it has its own sound.

[TheFlyers09]

Timmy's great, but I prefer the Luther. Doesn't clip as strongly on the milder settings

[userboy6]

is it just me or does the Timmy sound stronger, more punch, or presence or something throughout this whole demonstration?

@Linsenpuppe I wasn't remarking on the specs of the two pedals. I was commenting on your negativity. There is only so much any person or manufacturer can do to build upon the original overdrive effect.

I'm braindead because I love guitar and boobs? okay. lol The timmy is a great od, I personally prefer the Tim for the more pronounced low end. To each his own.

@stilt37 May I quote you, Mr Braindead? "guitar. boobs "... Get the nipples out of your eyes and learn to read schematics ;-)

The Luther is surely a very close TS clone, maybe with small mods. The timmy is different, of course, but based on a very similar circuit design. I like both pedals, I built clones of the original TS808 and the Timmy. I prefer the Timmy, because it´s a bit more versatile.
