I just dropped $450 to pre-order the Timeline. That's my commercial pedal buying budget for the next five years, ha ha. The last time I bought a new pedal was at least five years ago anyway. This thing looks and sounds pretty sick IMO even if it is horribly expensive. Delay is by far my favorite type of effect!
You may see lots of extra things for sale from me very soon.
Heehee. I thought the same thing when I splurged for the El Capistan. I want the BSR, but other things take priority. Cant wait to see some Timeline clips...
Jacob
hahaha dude! i just pre-ordered it too!! It's definitely the most expensive pedal I've paid for, but I know it's one of those things that are not gonna be leaving my pedalboard in a LOOOOOOOONG LONNNG time!! So excited...
-Kaleb
I just bought a Blue Sky Reverb a few months ago. I don't mid buying stuff that I can't really build. The Timeline demos are pretty dang awesome!
I dropped a bit less than that on a superdelay a while back.. The timeline lOoks amazing!
I was lucky enough to get in on the first batch of TimeLines. It'll be worth the wait; trust me. I'm having a blast with it!
Hey Brian, did yours ship already? I'm here rocking in my chair like a little kid waiting on a Christmas present haha
-Kaleb
I'm jealous. This pedals seems very cool, but I don't have any funds available right now.
I got my timeline this week and holy s%$t does it sound fantastic. the tones are lushious. and it is much easier to navigate the menus than the eventide timefactor. the looper is super easy to use as well. sold my m9 imediately. It's gonna have to be quite a trick to top this unit fellas. still haven't tried the fx loop yet, but I really looking forward to it. money well spent.

Ah!! I'm jealous man! I've been checking my order every day since the 9th :( Still nothing...I can't wait to get that pedal...it's kinda driving me nuts! haha
Have fun man...to me this is the top of delay pedals right now...
-Kaleb
Right on! Mine has at least shipped. Can't wait to tinker with it.
DAMN YOU & congrats. This thing is amazing! I'm going to have to sell my left nut to get one...but it'll be worth it. Anyone want to buy a Boss Loop Station, Boss DD-5 and a left nut? It could be a package deal... ;D
I'm not so much interested in the Boss things... but the other thing? Nah. I already have two of those.

Wouldn't the wife's purse be too full by then? ;)
Marriage is wondeful.

Yeah...
I think I gotta edit that one. It was waaaay funnier in my head. Reading it again makes me think awkward and weird.

:) i understood where you going with it :)
I did the same thing but on a different vein. I purchased two of the Deluxe Memory Man with Tap Tempo while they were still available (MN3005 goodness). I am using one and the other is NIB...I am telling myself that it is an investment. A very rare, now out of production, pedal NIB...10 years down the road it could be worth some serious coin!
Oh, the DMMwTT is absolutely the bomb - delay is my favorite effect and this one just nails it.

Yeah. I don't mean to be a d-bag but I have both the Deluxe Memory Boy with TT and the DMMwTT and the "man" just slays the boy all day. The sound of the Man is just much more transparent than the boy. When you kick the boy on it really warms up the fundamental tone in a strange way. The modulation is also pretty much useless on the DMBwTT as well. I have an original deluxe memory man (with hard wired cord) and the DMMwTT comes very close to the sound plus the added benefit of having true bypass. I can keep the original DMM in its safe wooden box for special recording occasions or similar.
How could you make me want something so bad when it's not even available for purchase anymore?
Strymon just updated my order to "Awaiting shipment"! Ah! So excited...:D
did u get yours yet Brian?
-Kaleb
Yes, about two days ago. I spent about 30 mins with it so far. Some really great sounds in there. It's probably way overkill for me, though. The only thing I do not like so far is that tap tempo resets when you change to a different sound bank. That's pretty frustrating. Other than that it is a lot of cool.
Nice! Yeah, I've read people asking for global tap tempo and also preset naming. Strymon has already released an update to address some of other observations that users were posting online, so I would think that this is something they would update in a near future :) It's one of the things I love about it, it's upgradable! So yeah, can't wait till next week :P
-Kaleb
K so.....
I was playing tonight, and I got some super awesome sounds out of my El Cap. It was a really wonderful experience actually. I was using it in conjunction with a Hardwire DL-8, and I was switching back and forth with the DL-8 set to analog delay.
My thoughts ran to the Timeline. All the demos I've seen seem to be super spectacular. But because I've got the El Capistan I thought perhaps I could do without. However, now I'm thinking about either trying to get a Brigadier or the Timeline. I also want a Blue Sky but that's another post really...
So is the dTape and dBucket settings good enough to pull off the cool el Capistan sounds I was getting tonight, and then pull off the cool sounds I'd get out a brigadier? Because it would be really great to have all those banks of presets, and to have it all in one box rather than in two, with one tap tempo switch instead of two...
Or should I just build the upcoming Dirtbag, forget about the freaking Brigadier and keep the El Cap.
Shoot. I don't want three Strymon pedals on one board do I?
Okay. So if any of you guys wants to trade their timeline for an El Cap and something else I have, let me know. I might go for it.
Or maybe I'll just look for a Brig and Blue Sky...
Le Sigh.
Jacob
haha, I traded my blue sky for an el cap a month ago ;D
I was actually thinking the same thing you were before I traded for the el cap. I've used the original DC timeline before and my friend has a new timeline. I thought about buying it when it was released in the first batch, but I couldn't justify the cost. It's an awesome pedal but I've found that any pedal that I buy (or have) that has presets I rarely use more than two banks. That's just me, I'm just to old school I guess and I tweak for the day at hand. Even though I play in a worship setting where songs change each week but repeat frequently I usually just tweak for the week. I've been using the el cap and my aquaboy and find it covers enough ground. If I could pick up a brigader for around 200 I would though ;) Probably doesn't help but the el cap did cure my GAS for the timeline after I got it. The dirtbag will replace the aquaboy after I get it reboxed.

The timeline is one where I can see using several of the banks. It's definitely not a one trick pony. I owned a DD20 briefly a few years ago and ended up returning because there were really only a couple of sounds I liked.
With the TL, the tape and analog are pretty similar, but I haven't spent enough time with it yet exploring it. I haven't even gotten into the hidden parameters, like smear and whatever. So far, my favorite bank is actually "ICE" which throws in some octaves and intervals into the repeats. I really love that sound...mostly because it something new to me!

If you ever wanna sell that beautiful aquaboy with the gorgeous sea goddess I'm interested!!
I tell ya the one thing I miss on the timeline vs the elcap, is that on the elcap you can add spring reverb to your delay. hopefully they can add that in an update along with global tap tempo. on the whole though, It's the best delay I've ever used. you can really make it sound however you want...er...except with reverb.
EDIT....just realised the tape echo setting is missing the multi head option. hope that gets sorted out.

haha, I guess I should have said that these two will swap board spots occasionally. :)

I should figure you'd never sell such a thing after all the hard work you put into calibrating the darn thing. I'd probably have better luck trying to get a decal from ya ;D
OK. So I've finally decided to pull the trigger and make an effort to get the Timeline. Too many of it's features are making me wish I had one. I've also decided not to get rid of my El Capistan to do it, so this should be interesting.
I'll start by making the offer to any of you guys who have gotten one. If you decide not to keep it, please let me know and we can work some sort of combo trade deal happen.
If not, I have to start selling pedals to save up enough scratch. I figure I'll need at least 500 to get it over the border here to Canada, so I'll likely be selling at least 4 or 5 pedals to finance this. Goodbye DD7 and CS-2, TR-2 and DL-8.
Jacob
oof. its so hard to say goodbye :'(
but i dont blame you haha

This better be worth it.

From what I understand is that they purposefully left certain features out of the Timeline to still leave a place for the El Cap and Brigadier.
