OT Tasty freeze

[William Walker <billwalker@baymoon.com>]

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the Eventide Timefactor in the  
discussion of  freeze and sample and hold.  I just took the plunge and  
bought one to replace my dying DL-4, Holy shitsky!  I must have not  
been paying attention when the virtues of this pedal were being  
discussed. I like the fact that you can apply a hold function at  
anytime with any delay algorithm, including reverse delay. I also like  
the fact that once you have hit the hold button you can use tap tempo  
to alter the loops length which can create some very interesting  
artifacts. I have been eying the timefactor for a long time and  
finally decided that it was time to stop pining for one and pull the  
trigger.  i can't believe how good this thing sounds and I've only  
scratched the surface. Now I understand what all the fuss was about.
