Strymon Timeline Ice question (or, Cocksniffing Meth Delay)

Is there a pedal that just does the ice mode from the timeline or gets close?
It seems like the Afterneath maybe treads these waters?
I like those sounds but don't really need the rest of timeline, nor can afford one.
Apologies if this has been covered before.

The Zoom MS-100BT has that available as a free downloadable algorithm in their iOS app. I'm pretty sure it's included in the MS-70CDR (which has no in-app-purchase stuff going on--just a nice set of sounds standard). It's one of my favorite sounds that the 100 does.

Zoom MS-70CDR sounds fairly close indeed.

Interesting, I might suss that.
Those are those new zooms aren't they?
What's the actual sound quality of those like?
And aren't the interfaces kinda meh?

I wish.
Then at least there'd be an excuse.

I was going to reply with "Well, my mum may do ice, but your mum does me."
But I do not play such games....

The MultiStomp stuff sounds okay to very very good, depending on the algorithm. If you want to use it as a single-effect pedal, the interface is damned easy like any other stomp box. You can do more tricky stuff chaining effects and stepping through a sequence of programmed effect chains, but you don't need to. If you need to use multiple algorithms at a gig, though, it's that or scrolling through effects between songs. The manuals are good and available online, so you can decide if it would work for you.

I don't know if the G1on or whatever those new plasticky pedals do the Ice Delay. They have some of the better Zoom algorithms in those, but it seems kind of a random assortment. Really affordable option, though, kind of justifying minimal fuss use.

Pitchfactor or H9 does crystals which is what Strymons Ice delay is a take on.

Afterneath is more like the Ultratap on the H9.

Why not get a Count To Five or Goodbye 24?
It does the ice thing only much much better, the Timeline was pretty meh to me to be honest, it just doesn't sound that cool / special and it's not very tweakable either.

this is kind of a hard question cos the ice mode on the timeline is really broad in itself. if you just want that basic sliced pitchshifted delay then yeah a CT5/GB24, Boss PS-3, Particle, and a bunch of other things cop that WAY better (the TL is annoyingly limited in regard to interval selection and slice size), but the smearing/blooming and modulation additions on the timeline are way more complex than any standalone pedals seem to touch on so if you're wanting that gazey blooming vibe i couldn't really recommend any of the ones i mentioned, in that regard the zoom is probably the best bet. it's also like half the price of what a CT5 or afterneath or whatever would cost you in kanga coins.
VST's do this stuff way way better than pedals do though, it's the sort of thing you can easily tweak a hundred parameters to get it sounding right which just isn't viable for pedals.
