Tim\'s guitar rig
« on: October 09, 2008, 03:15:38 pm »
Not sure if there is already a thread for this, but I couldn\'t find one so I am starting this.

Anybody know what Tim uses for his pedal board? I know he plays an SG and a Strat, not sure what amp he uses, but I am mainly interested in the pedals he uses. The boomerang is obviously one. I\'m pretty sure there\'s a whammy, and some sort of flanger.... anybody else know anything? I wonder if he uses a compression pedal and what kind of overdrive he uses. I\'ll def try to check it out the next show I go to but if anybody knows anything please post here! I\'m looking to buy some pedals and would like to know what the master himself uses.

I know who would know this answer but he never posts.

Sean Miller since he is the one who basically has helped Tim put together his rig over time.

I\'ll see if I can\'t get Sean to post for you.

Seriously... No love for Clapton?  All I needed to hear was the 24 Nights version of Have You Ever Loved A Woman and I was hooked.  .. I guess it doesn\'t mean anything that Hendrix made it a stipulation that he be able to meet Clapton before going over to England.

I don\'t think he\'s bad but Robin Trower is/was 100x better. One of countless examples.

See - I may be dumb, but I had to look up Robin Trower to see who he was.  See, I\'d have to be in the mod to listen to Protocol Harum, but I can throw on Blind Faith or the Rainbow Concert any day of the week and not get bored.  I guess it\'s all personal taste.

Here is what I gathered.

Yamaha Magic Stomp
Boss DD3
Digitech Whammy
Dunlop GCB90
Boomerang
Boss CS3
Boss OC3
and the pedal that makes Tim sound like Tim is...
Dunlop BD-55Q (The Bucky Dent 55Q)

:lol:

the most power pedal legally sold in the US.  Activating it is like slamming a line drive into your audiences face.

Does he also use a MXR HGN 22x

or the "Higgins Compressor Pedal"?

  - Miller

S.M. also forgot to mention the Boss BB-65

the "Bill Brasky Overdrive"
