It'll be interesting to see the schematic - its always cool to see how people attack a design.  The Timmy mind you just looks like a tweaked OD-1 if the schematic I have is accurate.

LOL, might be! I'll have to have a look see...

There's definite similarities there :) Goes to show, there's isn't much at all original in the world of ODs.

When you´re racing, it's life. Anything that happens before or after is just pies.

That's a Lazy J cruiser, a pedal Ive been meaning to buy for about 2 years now.. There's a "deuce" version which has spearated the Drive and boost portions into 2 switches. It's supposed to be a pretty original design by OD standards in a time where everything seems to be a tweaked version of everything else

Yep - that's the one. It is the best pedal I've owned in 30 years and the one I'd go back into a fire to save. Just amazing.
In fact, mine is one of the early ones Jesse made when he was still hand painting the typescript on the pedal. They are screen printed nowadays. I guess that may mean it'll worth a bit more in the future (in the unlikely event I would ever sell it). Many are calling the Cruiser the Klon of the future. I waited 6 weeks for mine but not sure what the build time is nowadays. Whatever it is - it's well worth the wait, believe me!

Anyway - back to the Throttle Box : I have no sound clips from my rig but if you go to the Boogie site and watch their demo videos IT'S EXACTLY LIKE THAT. Its the only pedal I've ever owned that sounds just like the online demo's (through a decent PC sound card). See/hear at http://www.mesaboogie.com/Product_Info/pedals/throttlebox-pedal.html#gpm1_4

Yep noticed that, he used to scribble his sig on the bottom LH corner.
