ESREVER

[zeravla]

I listened, rfurtkamp. I was shopping around for a DD20 when I saw some of your posts about the Timebender. It's amazing how much it can do. It's a great pedal and Digitech should really re-release it or update it.

[rfurtkamp]

Yeah, I wish they'd done a "pro" version with more presets and deeper editing (or simply numeric/app editing since I'm sure the dials just correspond to digital 1-127 or whatever).

As it stands though, it's a glorious beast and eats up two of my 24 tracks on the DAW interface fulltime now (usually run off the Mustang V's line out).

Also love the freeze function that works in almost every mode (but not the reverse) - it's glorious and far more useful than the actual looper.

The reverse with pitch shifting on the timebender is insane. The way the harmonies fade in is amaaaazing.

is there a demo of this anywhere?

[coldbrightsunlight]

Not aware of one that covers that specifically, sorry.

I can whip something up tonight/tomorrow health permitting.

That would be awesome. I've always been curious about this pedal.

There was also this:

The only way I even heard of it was TWDY was supposedly using it back in the day.

I might also have time to make a bit of a recording tomorrow. Don't have a lot of gear around but I'll see if my phone can record stuff well enough to get the idea!

Uploaded naow. VI + Timebender octave up 2.8s reverse (switched to 3/4 octave later). Some Godbox Test Pattern and Blender, ebow, random assault on strings with wooden objects.

Pretty much everything you'd want reverse delay for if you weren't in a Jimi cover band.

The huge thing with it is the sampling choice - it starts to fill in on the beat roughly, and is one of the more organic, less abrupt reverses I've ever had my hands on.

In the 'full' mix with amps a-blazing, Timebender harmonized reverse is panned slightly right.

In isolated, it's direct mid plus the Midiverb 2 reverb out of the Jazz Chorus feed.

Both are important because it's not just how it sounds, but how it sounds in a wall of stuffs.

Full version:



Isolated VI/reverse Timebender + harmonizer/15s Midiverb 2 cave



Live, one pass, waking from a nap with how I'd left the mics and gear set up from the night before.

Cool sounds rfurtkamp!

I did a bit of a demo just now too, less interesting than that one. I use the plain reverse, then octave down, then play with fourth and fifth down quite a bit. There's a TAFM for fuzz and in the last minute or so I switched on a lovetone meatball HPF because I think it works really nicely with reverse delay.

[rfurtkamp]

Not bad at all sir, it sounds good with the filter.

I tried to avoid going to the wall of stuffs, as it'd get buried fast in them, but it's one of two reverse delays I use with any regularity - the other sadly isn't in a pedal format, and it's special because it allows both forward and reverse delay simultaneously with somewhat independent controls (the built-in on the Fender Mustang amps). I resisted turning it on here as it would have colored the Timebender quite a bit.

Awesome demos. Thanks to both of you!
