The sound on this box is a group of studio grade delay machines, 12 to be exact, each one better than the last. You are able to use it without having to process the outcome in any way.
Regarding Workmanship, this is a Strymon product so all you can expect is excellent quality. If you are a studio guy you do not have to worry with the robustness of the Timeline. If you want to use it on the road you have to be somewhat careful as the buttons can, if abused, give out, but generally speaking it is one sturdy machine.
Performance wise it is as expected from any and every Strymon product, the pedal is easy to configure and interact with by standard and if you like tweaking even more you are able to control whatever you need using a midi pedalboard.
The price could be a bit lower although in my opinion, even considering that there is a lot of offer in this range of the effects spectrum, this pedal sets the standard for this array of effects.
The features are awesome, you will spend lots and lots of time exploring this unit and I am sure enough you are not able to check upon every possible knob setting and configuration. It has a never ending set of knob twisting and presets that will fit your every need!
This is a highly addictive machine which you will never sell or replace by anything else.
Bought this for my Son who is Autistic, he is absolutely amazed with it! Easy to use and set up with too many features to mention. Delivery and customer service outstanding!
It does everything you need from a delay and then some.
You know that strymon does not cut corners into manufacturing their pedals, and their range is the proof of it. Beautifully crafted, and sounding amazing.
That being said, the only fault I found on this pedal so far, is that Im finding a bit hard to adapt to the preset/bank switching system. I will still give it a try, but so far it has been total mayhem live, because when i go bank up I end up changing the tempo...
There are solutions (2, 3, or 4 buttons midi switcher), which not only allows you to go sequentialy trough presets but also make available all the functions of the looper. But this option will increase the price of an already expensive delay unit...
Other than that, you get an amazing delay unit with 12 types of delay each one with unprecedented tweakability.
Ive upgraded from a Boss DD20, and Im having a blast with this unit.
