Have one in preorder. Hope I can get rid of the Timeline, I need delay+looper + MIDI in the same box.

Wait, I'm all for new pedals and competition, but doesn't the timeline do all three of those?

Oh yeah, and it does the looper and the MIDI part very good, the delay not so good to my taste, it sounds so bland and soft, might be the "analog trve thru true wet bypass" thing they are very proud of.
I like digital delays with balls like the Boss DD series or Timefactor.

I'm just impressed by how weird they made it, you can even do judder/raptio shit with it. :animal:

...Which means I'm probably going to sell my judder if it's a good enough substitute. :facepalm: I can never keep a pedal for long. :lol:

I really like the sounds, but I'm gonna need a demo of people doing funky shit with it to see if it is truly to my taste.

Don't know if it can replace the Timebender and all the harmonizing it does though.

God damn it I want every bigass delay I see just for some little weirdo feature.
I keep my Delaylab because of how it glitches out when changing time settings. I keep the Timebender mostly because of the random envelope setting. I have the Headrush just for the multi-head thing.
Now I want to try this for the editability...

Dandolin dons the big flip mitt. :lol:

Yeah, basically you can replicate every glitch and stutter from the entire DD series for starters and then it just goes on from there....

I used to think all that glitch/stutter goodness was a happy accident/technology failure, but with this one Boss is embracing its history, glitch included. Combined with relatively maximalist (for pedal world) control regime, this is a legitimately exciting tool--the weird will out, I'm sure....

I still have to confirm it can do what I use the judder for though, so no flipping yet. :lol:

My biggest concern/question besides the stutter is if I can keep the looper controls separately and get one of those three-button TRS foot controllers everyone has on their timelines for it. :idk:

Haha, f that--I'm gonna pull out the starship sized FC300 from under the bed and midi the fuqq outta that thing. :lol:

Erm, maybe not because I want room for some other pedals...and bandmates...and an audience, but it'd be fun to develop some weirdloop project and tapdance on that thing while it made the DD500 sing glitchily....

Want. I've never had big, hella featured delay. This might be the ticket. Was thinking a strymon. I'll spend a few months watching demos and debating features.

The Boss one is a two button but yea, it'll assign whatever to wherever.

Been using the front end/editor software for over a year, this is the guts/assign of the GT-100/001.

Oof, this looks great. Two delays + looper simultaneously? Sign me up. Just bought a Timebender, but maybe I need more delay.
