Members lotlizard Posted July 20, 2012 Members Share Posted July 20, 2012 I'm too lazy to do a search. Want to kick my Flashback off my board (will still probably keep it around) and replace it with something that has midi capabilities and the ability to set a specific delay time. Both of these have an analog dry path, so they should work in a parallel loop. Has anyone owned both? Compared them side by side? I've looked at the spec sheets, but those, obviously, do not include shortcomings and limitations noticed by users. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Player99 Posted July 20, 2012 Members Share Posted July 20, 2012 I would also look at the new Vox Delaylab as well. $229. I have a Timeline. It sounds really nice. True analog path. The Timefactor apparently uses a digital conversion of your original sound. Some have not liked this, other say they don't care. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members lotlizard Posted July 20, 2012 Author Members Share Posted July 20, 2012 The Vox seems like a nice pedal, but it doesn't have midi and, from what I can tell, does not have an analog dry path. The analog dry path isn't a big deal, I guess, unless you are using a parallel loop. I've had some phasing issues with digital pedals in a parallel loop unless the pedals have an analog dry path.

Members Lanefair Posted July 20, 2012 Members Share Posted July 20, 2012 The timefactor bypass is great. I leave it on dsp+fx (trails) all the time. Actually improves the amps tone a bit. Also the MIDI functionality and usb updating is the best I've ever seen in a pedal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members arcadesonfire Posted July 20, 2012 Members Share Posted July 20, 2012 Haven't played a Timeline, but I am really sensitive to my tone getting mucked up by bad pedal bypass sounds. But the Timefactor's bypass is great. I use it in DSP + FX mode too (so i'm not taking advantage of the true bypass capability) but it still sounds great. I don't notice it at all. And all the different delay options and sounds and modulations are wonderful. Very versatile and super super sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
