Best delay with presets

Post by Mingugnim » Mon Sep 26, 2011 3:33 am

Love my new LP. The MF 104z is discontinued. Many have referenced that Lexicons are great delays but are rack units. I'm seeking your learned advice given that I'll be using the LP live and need at least 10 fast presets. It needs to be a stomp box. Other criteria includes stereo out, true analog bypass, and midi would be nice. Phase and chorus would be nice too all in one. I've checked out EH Memory Man w Hazarai but presets tied to modes, El Capistan nice analog but no presets, the Boss RE20's sound may be too harsh, and Hardwire RV-7 but also no presets. SO... I see Line6 M5 fulfills the criteria I need. Do we like this brand/sound with our beloved Moogs?? MANY THANKS for any insights.

Eventide Time Factor.
Meets all your criteria, plus it sounds great.
Very flexible, you can turn knobs live just like an analog delay.
Easy to setup whatever number of presets you need for a gig.

Many thanks for the thoughtful responses. Looks like the Eventide has a looper which the Line6 M5 does not. I'm not a computer with music guy, and don't need all the wild delay effects that a guitarist may like. Since it looks like there are a few out there that meet my criteria, my main quest is for the best sound quality when paired with an analog synth.

Agreed! Time factor rocks.

Many thanks Everybody. The Eventide Space seems pretty cool too. Just a little more research and I can pull the trigger. Thanks again!!

I picked up a Space last month. WOW great pedal But if you want only a delay look at the Time Factor. But you already know that.

Hi Mingugnim,

The Strymon TimeLine is a stunningly versatile delay with 200 presets,
true Stereo In & Out, and MIDI control of almost everything.

There are 12 well-crafted videos on this page (use the tabs):

Except it's apparently only available for pre-order? No shipping date?
Does look nice.

I think they just haven't updated their site.

I've been reading "Got mine!" messages on
various forums over the past month. And
I've seen them new on eBay for about as
long.

It's possible that they're ramping up another
batch, but they do exist.

Moog lovers with Great Minds!! Through everybody's help I discovered the Stymon Timeline, a brand previously unknown to me. Very late last nite I emailed Stymon re how long the wait for a Timeline. I'm now as impatient to get a good delay as I am willing to forego sleep to research these additions to my rig. (LP, S90ES, Hammond XK1 + Ventilator - old school!). Thanks again!!

Corresponded with Strymon today re Timeline. Still pre order only and still up to 10 week wait. It's a long time to wait must seems worth it for a product that will be state of the art for many years to come.

Thank everybody!!
