Re: Eventide Time Factor



Hey there.
Yup! I've had a lot of fun with my EH SMMH, I think it's the only delay
pedal with stereo looping.  Apart from the lack of midi sync, including
looping quantise, etc, it's only other drawback is it loses a little of
the bass end when engaged - but it's intended for guitar, not the bass
heavy synth sounds I put through it.  
My Nova Delay offers enough different delay features that the two delays
complement each other really well, both are really good pedals.
However neither are midi capable, and that's what I'm after now.

The TimeFactor sounds like it's a gem.  So I'm just curious about it's
looping capability.  I realise that unlike the SMMH you can't loop and
have delays at the same time.  I'm just hoping that it's looper has
quantise, and can work with midi sync or the dial in tempo.
Unfortunately the two dials that shift the start and end points of the
loop sound clunky. 

As far as getting a decent midi capable stereo looping pedal - well, for
now I've given up on the idea.  I'm just hoping something better is on
it's way.  

Now that EH have brought out the POG2, I'm thinking of putting together
a letter to Electro Harmonix asking if they'd consider redoing the 2880
with a number of improvements.  Including among many other things a
smaller foot print, 8 track looping, 16 save spaces (each with 8 tracks
and a stereo mix down) on the same memory card, much more comprehensive
MIDI capability so that a midi foot controller can drive all it's
features, and the list goes on, and on...
Cheers,
-- G.
