Sounds like my exact experience ordering my own Timeline... As you can see, my prayers were not answered for better or worse .

I can blame you for my Timeline ordering. Thanks jerk!

Seriously, as soon as I heard the Timeline I pretty much knew i had to have it. And I've been enamored by the Pitchfactor for some time but have been, to be honest, kind of scared of it's possibilities.

I don't know when the Timeline will be here, but the Pitchfactor should be here this week. I'm pretty psyched!

Pitchfactor is the most amazing sound-creating devise I tried. It takes a really long time to figure it out and I haven't done with mine yet And you can just smile looking at new stand-alone pitch-shifting pedals like Rainbow Machine or Polytope cause you have already found these sound in your Pitchfactor.

The Pitchfactor tracks pretty flawlessly and can do Whammy better than the actual thing in addition to synth, octave and micro-pitch chorus among many other sounds.

The Timeline can do every kind of delay imaginable along with working as a lo-fi pedal (bitcrusher, am radio sounds, etc.)

Basically they are both awful and you'll hate them for sure.

I tried a ModFactor and loved it. Replaced all my mod pedals on my main board.

I loved it so much, I picked up a PitchFactor. I've had it for a couple of weeks but haven't had the time to dive into it.

I'm finding with these 'Factor pedals is you can't be afraid of the manuals. It really shortens the learning curve.

Thats kind of what I'm afraid of. I also really fell in love with the ambient type sounds you can create with the PF as well.

I went back and forth between the pitchfactor and modfactor and ultimately liked the demos of the PF better. You can bet that if, for some reason, I don't like the PF I will be looking to pick up the modfactor.

I purchased the PF through musicians friend so I have 45 days to figure out if I like it

Pitchfactor arrived today. Man the presets are really awesome. I have no idea how they got those sounds, but in the short time screwing around I came up with a killer fuzzy octave and some cool ambient stuff. I'm going to re-read the manual which will hopefully give me a better grasp on everything. So far it's really cool. Smaller than I thought as well. Sound is killer!

Yeah...really long. I spend more time going through the presets trying to learn what they all do. I definitely like the delay on the pf. Kinda more than my ml2. I just wish it had a bank down switch!

Very cool pedal though.
