The Angry Andy is a distortion pedal based on the JHS Andy Timmons Drive. It offers a wide range of gain options, from low to high, which can be adjusted using the Drive control. The pedal also features a selectable compression level, allowing for even more versatility.

The controls on the Angry Andy include Volume, Drive, EQ, and Air. The Volume control adjusts the overall output level of the pedal. The Drive control determines the amount of gain in the circuit. The EQ control can be used to brighten or darken the sound by turning it to the right or left, respectively. The Air control functions like an amplifier’s presence knob, handling the high frequencies.

The Angry Andy also includes a Headroom toggle switch, which offers three different “wattage” settings: 25W, 50W, and 100W. This toggle switch affects the compression and, consequently, the gain. In the middle position, the compression is wide open, resulting in a natural sound. In the up position, the compression is highly compressed, requiring volume compensation. In the down position, the compression is a middle ground between the two, making it ideal for tighter rhythms.
