Re: Vox Delaylab- very mini review

[William Walker <billwalker@baymoon.com>]

I checked this out under less noisy conditions and found it to be good  
sounding but also disappointing because I have expectations that  
someone it going to come up with a real DL-4 killer, more loop time ,  
more delay time and the for me , basic features like half speed, undo,  
and reverse. perhaps even multiply. was I surprised? no. Though I'm  
happy with it in nearly every other regard, the looper on  the  
Eventide Timefactor is very sophisticated in its ability to record at  
different track speeds, and it has  an actual replace feature that can  
be activated by a long press. But alas, it has  such a minimal amount  
of loop time its nearly worthless to me as a stand alone looper,  
frustrating.  Its interface really needs an extra midi pedal to get  
the most out of it,  though I've been limping along with an extra 3  
button assignable switch for a while. Also, though it seems to slave  
to midi clock well, I haven't dug deep enough to find out how to  
prevent the machine from starting by itself  when the master midi  
device hits the down beat threshold point, very annoying if you want  
to stop the Timelines Loop while your master midi source continues to  
play. So do we have a trend here? It seems like the majority of the  
stand alone delays/loopers on the market fall down feature-wise in the  
looper department. Is the Strymon Timeline any different?

 PS if its one of the little  Korg clip on tuners, I have one, they  
are cool, so it was worth the effort Andy!
