Compared to my previous Jan Ray build this Timmy sounds more "focused" and slightly less "shimmery". Feels more like a tone shaping tool than a magic harmonics-infusing artifact. Which makes no sense, obviously.
I wonder why the components and pots are so spaced apart on the pcb compared to the standard 4-hole PPCB layout, even considering the DPDT in the middle.
I wasn't sure how to express the idea of "transparent driver", but I had fun with layers for this UV print.

I decided to try germanium diodes on this RAT since it's my preferred setting on the Aphelion distortion and "Monty Python" is my preferred coherence setting. To prevent any diode-swapping temptation I went and soldered in two D9B diodes, most probably backwards.
A completely opposite direction compared to the Timmy, with delicious dirt, supermassive compression and dramatic "unity gain at 22:00" volume drop.
The embarrassed Labrador and the hairy-snouted Rat Terrier with its "WTF?" expression next to the super-deformed telecaster perfectly convey the feeling of a completely random waste of resources.
