Timefactor Analog Dry Blended Signal

[telepunk]

Does anyone use the Timefactor with a small blender so that you can push one side analog dry and the other 100% wet. I was looking at the blender made by T1M and I am interested to hear if anyone does this currently? I like my Timefactor as is, but - as I know most of you are also doing - I am always looking for the best tone.

And no, I don't want a Timeline right now - so you can hold your "Just get a Timeline..." comments. I will drink the kool-aid later I am sure, but for now I am holding off.

I've thought about it, but
a) I don't want to complicate my pedalboard, and
b) I'm not sure that it would make enough of a difference to notice in a live situation, and c) Most blender pedals are only mono, and
d) I can't afford any more pedals anyway.

I actually did this but it didn't produce the desired sound I wanted. The blender took away the punchiness of my dry tone. I eventually shelved the blender and went back to using the Timefactor without it. Hope this helps.

That is helpful and makes sense. The Eventide website says that they tried it both ways and they thought it sounded better the way it is (processing the dry signal). I also figured it would likely be a negligible difference live (where it matters for me). Just figured I would ask...it would also be a huge disadvantage to give up wet/dry mix in the presets for me now that I think about it. Thanks guys.

Please, if anyone else has anything else to add or different opinions do chime in!

I do a similar thing with my Timefactor, but it is in a wet/dry rig. I have an Alex Attenuator on my Marshall (which runs dry) and run the line out of it to a volume pedal and my Timefactor for a wet channel. It then goes to a .44 Magnum (44 watt power amp in a pedal), then to a 1x12 cab.
Works great and sounds amazing, but it is a bit to carry to gigs. I need a solution for adding delay post amp to a dirty Marshall so this is the route I took.

just make sure your blender is an active mixer, and not just passive blend pot.

I have a modfactor that I use with killdry to wet speakers - even better than wet/dry blend!

[telepunk]

So you kill dry to a separate speaker can than your main amp?
