Strymon Timeline Delay

for me: too much is too much sometimes. complicated & expensive.

I spent hours and hours watching and listening to reviews and demos of this pedal and was incredibly excited when I finally decided to spend the money. It surpassed my very high expectations and I only just scratched the surface of what this pedal can do. I will use this for years to come and it's the first and only thing so far that made me consider incorporating Midi in my rig because I just want to make use of its insane potential.

But even for a standard user, like I am at the moment, it's surprisingly easy to operate.

This is just an amazing pedal, the features are incredible. There are 12 different delays, each one having many parameters to configure exactly what you want. You can configure the usual delay time and repeats, but also things like low-pass or high-pass filters to get more repeats in the high or low frequencies, or the saturation-level to get 'dirtier' repeats, and so on.

The sound quality is also amazing, you can get extremely clean digital-like delays or dirtier analog-like delays, giant reverb-style repeats, low-fi repeats ... it always sounds great! Also you have stereo inputs and outputs which is great if you play with 2 amps: you then get a massive delay, really impressive.

The only drawback is that with so many parameters and configuration possibilities, you can easily get stuck for hours configuring your delays! ;-) I would probably keep it for life, and if it breaks, I'd buy a new one.
