Eventide Timefactor

[The Pup]

Any thoughts regarding the Eventide Timefactor delay pedal?

I would appreciate any comments regarding your hands-on experience.

P.S. I almost bought a Delayla XL...but having to set the delay with the tap button every time you turn it on would get old fast. I am looking for a quiet "dual-head" type delay and the Timefactor may work...albeit, it's overkill.

It won't be available until August.

How about 31 May 07?

There are quite a few out in player's hands...but you are right, the likelihood of getting a first-hand perspective may be limited.

And on 5/31 they'll change it to 6/14. Then on 6/14 they'll change it to 6/31. etc. etc.

Any other recommendations for a "dual-head" approach?

After having a ToneCzar EchoCzar on my board for about a year, I switched it out this weekend with my old standby, the DLS EchoTap. I used it playing live for about 900 people this morning, and while it was different, it was very good - plus "tap tempo" which I have missed. I was a happy camper.

Check out the DLS EchoTap - it is like having 2 delays in 1, and sounds GREAT!

Peace,

James

Quite a contrast in price. I'll checkout the DLS...I'm also interested in the Akai E2 Headrush Delay/Tape Echo/Looper/Kitchen Sink Pedal.

My buddy just bought the Akai today from MF for $140.00. He's going to give me a report later.

I had the delayla...waaaay cool sound but I let it go due to the tap tempo being the only way to set the delays.

I'm waiting on a little more info from Pharaoh amps on the new echomega. It is going to have reverb and dual head cascading delays as an option too.

Hope it is as cool as it could be!

Hey! What about the Hughes & Kettner Replex tube delay pedal?

Rather big isn't?

A couple of other "dual head" delays -

Korg 301dl Dynamic Echo - up to 1000 ms total delay, with up to 100 ms offset for the tapped delay. Tone controls, two presets, ducking, not plug and play, overlooked, underpriced.
Boss DD20 - currently most popular - dual delay setting.
Toadworks Redux - total 500 ms of delay with 100 ms offset, TB, $200.

The Replex is amazing.... very thick and warm with some nice natural "grit" to it.... but as you say, it is the size of a toaster.... hence it's the Replica that sits on my board.....

Looks like you can't use its reverb and delay at the same time either...although I really don't need the reverb function. Can you use each delay-head separately as well as together?
