Electro Harmonix Hot Wax might do what you want. I use the EHX Hot Tubes on my bass, always on, gain very low and I love it. It has no "bass" only a tone control.
I recently bought the EHX HOT WAX, which is the Hot Tubes and and an EHX Crayon distortion in one box. It had a bass and treble knob so I figured I would like it that much better. Ultimately, it did not replace the original Hot Tubes on my bass board but that because I am already bonded with it and its place in my chain. But while I had the Hot Wax, the bass tone was quite capable.

Re: Nearly Clean OD with Active Bass Control
How about an EQ and an LS2 along with your Timmy?
Lots of possibilities for you to try out the perfect sound.

Re: Nearly Clean OD with Active Bass Control
Yeah a separate EQ might just do the trick if the Timmy is mostly there. LS2 could add extra tweaks.

Re: Nearly Clean OD with Active Bass Control
I too endorse the idea of an EQ. I bought an MRX 10 band recently (used, very cheap) and the potential is limitless! I never thought it'd be a pedal I'd need and it's quickly become something I love on my board!

Re: Nearly Clean OD with Active Bass Control
Yeah just get an elements already! I think it would pair awesome with the timmy too. Like you could even just run it as a clean boost with 3 band eq into the timmy even if there is no reason to do that since its an awesome distortion
