I have sang the praises of the Timmy many times., and for the most part I stand by that. However, there is one weakness in the Timmy: noise. When the Timmy is engaged, especially with single coil guitars, the noise ad Hum significantly increases beyond what other pedals I've had cause. It was bad enough that I got rid of It. I am back to a Fulldrive which is much quieter.

That hasn't been my experience. The Timmy is very quiet at most settings. The FD is a good pedal (I've had two of them), and you're right about it being a quiet pedal.
At any rate, it sounds like you are happy with the FD in place of the Timmy, so rock on!

I am with Eddie...no noise from my Timmy pedals.

My experience was just the opposite of the OP. Timmy is very quiet to my ears, Fulldrive when I tested it at a store was extremely noisy. The old adage YMMV obviously applies, and in all fairness to the Fulldrive, I didn't make the comparison in the same location under identical conditions. Our individual experiences can certainly taint our opinions as was the case with me.

I would have suspected the power supply.

The Timmy's I have are quiet as well. Defective unit maybe?

Mine is at least as quiet as any other OD I've used.

I have a studio in the bahn. We have invisible fence and the neighbors have electric livestock fence. With most drive pedals, especially when stacked, with a single coil I will most likely get some noise.
I also have to turn off the fluorescent lights on the lower level as the single coils and drive pick that up as the fixtures are 12 inches under the pedal
