Andy Timmons uses the Tube Screamer to push his Mesa/Boogie amp into singing, sustain-rich lead tones without sacrificing the midrange clarity essential to his expressive vibrato work. The pedal's warm, transparent overdrive complements his medium-output DiMarzio pickups, letting his dynamic pick control and tone shaping shine through.
