strymon® TIMELINE

One of the very best delay pedals around! Very inspiring machine with variety of textural effects added to echo.

Its "forte" is the way your delays get textural colors from filters, grit, smear, modulation and several vintage technologies emulations like bucket brigade or multi-head tape echo or lo-fi artifacts as sample rate and digital word-length reduction.

Interesting multitaps pre-made patterns add ways to create ambient echo-verbs with the right amount of filtering… with its several "sweet spots" where you'll find the best warmth and analog-like tones.

Dual parallel or series delays can create spectacular stereo effects you will have a hard time to find anywhere else in the pedals market. Reverse delays and a variety of pitch shifting effects added to echoes round up the terrific array of sounds the TIMELINE has to offer. Special stereo tricks are always going on, in any effect you use. You may notice the panoramic imaging movement and phase games which make the strymon® echo a new classic!

Terrific specs like 24bit/96KHz sampling rate and parallel analog path for the dry signal make this product almost perfect!

Only grief here is the limited +8dB input headroom which doesn't make this pedal optimal for a rack system where nominal +4dB line levels run and peak well over its max. value.

Many hope and pray strymon® will release a rack dedicated delay device, including and expanding the TIMELINE palette of efx and adding some new ones to it… with many knobs and more programming freedom for the ultimate echo shaping tasks. Please… do it!
