The Tommy III is a pedal based on the Paul Cochrane Timmy V3. It features conventional Bass and Treble controls, as well as a Gain Range toggle switch and an internal Symmetrical/Asymmetrical clipping switch. The Volume control adjusts the output signal level, while the Gain control adjusts the amount of signal gain. The Bass control adjusts the level of bass frequency cut, and the Treble control adjusts the level of treble frequency cut. The Gain Range toggle switch shifts the range of gain available with the Gain control. The internal Mode switch toggles between Symmetrical and Asymmetrical clipping. The Tommy III can be used as an always-on tone shaper or to boost an amp into overdrive.
