Speaking of pristine ping-ponging, if that’s a
thing you’re into, check out Eventide’s superb
TimeFactor dual delay. The TimeFactor
was Eventide’s first, long-awaited venture
into stompbox effects, with the company
having been a cornerstone of the high-end
studio effects world for several decades.
Eventide produces a whole line of pedals
these days, and the TimeFactor has earned a
spot in the upper echelon of the delay pedal
market, due to its glorious sonics, ease of
use, and powerful tone creation capabilities.
For dual delay enthusiasts the TimeFactor is
especially delicious, as it is capable of having
two completely independent delay lines from
different modes running simultaneously,
with a dedicated Delay Mix knob to fine tune
the blend. This is a very inspiring feature,
especially for guitarists operating in stereo,
and when combined with the TimeFactor’s
deep control capabilities, makes this pedal
a very alluring prospect for any delay junkie
looking for their next fix.
Another Strymon pedal? Yes, because
these dudes are dominating the delay
game like no one else (don’t act like you
didn’t notice). The company’s TimeLine
enjoys a lofty reputation amongst delay
addicts, and for plenty of very good
reasons, including exemplary audio quality,
12 delay types, 200 presets, a sweet looper,
unparalleled control and processing power,
full stereo operation, MIDI capability, and a
feedback loop mode, among other things.
One of the coolest of these other things is
its Dual delay machine, which lets the player
configure two simultaneous delay lines in
series or parallel. The second delay can
either follow the settings of the first delay,
or it can be set up to operate independently,
with its own Mix, Repeat, and Time settings.
This offers up an abundance of potential to
get your head spinning in blissed-out, super
stereo ambience. The Strymon TimeLine is
an undeniable modern classic, and a musthave for dedicated delay fiends.
The only thing better than one
good delay pedal is two good
delay pedals
