Tym Muddy Cat
The Tym Muddy Cat is a hand-made overdrive/fuzz pedal based on a modified Big Mud circuit. Featuring low-gain NOS transistors and unequal germanium clipping diodes, it offers a full sound with minimal mid-scoop and nice harmonics. This pedal, hand-built in Brisbane, Australia, provides a unique take on the classic fuzz tone.
What Tym Guitars say about the Tym Muddy Cat
These are a circuit I've had in my head for some time. While being based on a Big Mud circuit it has had a lot of the circuit values changed to make it more of an overdrive/fuzz using carefully selected tone stack options and low gain NOS "tin can" transistors with two stages of unequal germanium clipping diodes. This has sections and ideas from some of my favourite Big Muds including the Rams Head, the ELK Sustainar, the Foxey Lady and black Bubble Font and has more flat mids than a usual BM circuit. This cleans up nicely with the guitar volume and still has lots of output and gain but nothing like some of the bigger Big Muds.
These are full sounding overdrive/fuzz with very little mid scoop with nice harmonics and lower output than some others in the series. Check my blog for more details.
All of my pedals are hand made by me here in Brisbane, Australia using locally sourced components where possible and custom made enclosures. All the Tym effects on this site are constantly being hand made and uploaded for sale as they become available. I do not do presales/preorders or holds on ANY of my hand made stuff. Keep an eye on my NEWS feed for what's coming up and when it will be available. Check my blog for more info. All power supplies are std BOSS style adaptors unless noted otherwise. None of my pedals use batteries.
