Unconventional Delay Pedals

TIMEBENDER GAS INITIATED

I bought it because of rfurtkamp's comments half a year ago and it is really a good versatile Delay with a shitton of options.

What about the Timebender vs the Timeline, which one sounds better and/or has cooler effects according to you guys?

So...this week I sold four pedals and started to pull the trigger on some new stuff. My plan was to start with an unconventional delay as per my original post but I also kind of wanted something that brings me some octave up. I filled up a cart on proguitarshop with their 15% off and decent shipping to Australia and was looking at a particle, Malekko Dark and a Whammy.....and it just seemed like a lot of stuff cool stuff obviously but I changed my mind last second and ordered an eventide h9 with expression. I figure I can mess with it and try to find a bunch of sounds to explore. It will either be a cool thing or a quick flip...

I was happier with the Timebender personally, the only real stinker on the TB is there's only 4 presets (8 if you count the expression/up down variant ala L6). I am not a fan of Strymon's DSP sounds generally though, and the TimeBender makes me not want an Echoplex to go with my Space Echo any more.

Also radically, radically less espensive. Before it was recently discontinued, the TB sold for < $180ish street new.

And thanks very much for your help too guys. This is a very cool thread. I'll probably come back to it in future when I want to try something new.

@rfurtkamp:
You can say that again, it costs way way less.
I have a Timeline but I think I'm also not really into the Strymon sound be there a thing as such.
I don't know, most of the stuff seems kinda useless to me because for analog sounds I actually prefer an analog delay and the freaky modes just really aren't that freaky or not really tuneable into the more freaky range in my opinion, the only mode I really really love is the Lo-Fi honestly, the rest is good but I don't love it.

@Tendollarcat:
"And now for something completely different"
I hope you'll have lots of fun with it!

Really gassing for a DD-6 for dat warp mode.

It's cool, but gets wild pretty quick if you keep playing over top. However, letting off the switch for a sec and pressing it again helps a lot to control it. I use the loop mode a lot for fast rhythmic phrase catches.
DD6 is just a neat delay in general.

Also, that hold mode is cool for programmy sounds. The DD-6 was the first pedal (after my TU-2) that I ever got. I eventually sold it after getting more into pedals realizing it's delay sound wasn't what I was after. However, after 5-6 years I've bought it again. Still don't like it as a "standard" delay, but loving those warp and hold functions!

I'm not sure it's all that unconventional but Guitar Center is blowing out the Vox Delay Lab in-store only for $80. Only if in stock, so call ahead, and I think the sale that's attached to ends today. Sadly my local store was all out.

damn, none in my area. there's one in OKC but I don't wanna drive 10 hours round trip

I had skully make me a cavedweller delay (which is a really dark, reverb-y delay) into a wah enclosure, so I can fade the repeats in and out with the treadle. It's really cool for doing washes and soundscape stuff. Definitely recommended.

This sounds like something I could use. Skip the Expression In option, and put your circuits in a treadle.

The Deluxe Memory Boy seems good (?) he said, unknowingly. Has an effects loop, expression input, I dunno what else.

Toadworks Redux was a staple of my board for awhile. It did things I had previously only heard in rack gear in a small box for not a lot of money.

I've found something that annoys me greatly with the DD6. The knobs, besides level, do nothing in the warp or hold modes. Like, I can't record a loop, then speed it up...or use the feedback knob to change how the warp comes in.
