im content with my Memory Lane, but this thing just has way too many options and the ability to be amazing, so i'm keeping my eyes open. other than that though, everything else on my board's a keeper. Unless Korg updates their DT-10 tuner to make it smaller and true bypass.:)

True, Funk. Maybe this is what they imagine:

"Hey can I download the manual for your new stomp?"
"Well no but did you know Jimmy Page used our stuff!!!??"
"Right, the thing is I was wondering about the MIDI implementation..."
"And so does ROBERT FRIPP??!!!"

edit: to give full credit, there is a manual for the TimeFactor if you click the 'support' link at the bottom.

I picked one of these up a couple of weeks ago and it really is fantastic. Has been years since I used delays and have been hopding out for a great one for a while now.

The sound is crystal clear in a good way i.e. your basic sound stays intact until you want to really mess with it. There are also the vintage, tape-style delays if you want to dirty things up.Programming isn't too complicated, but will take some time to comprehend how much it actually can do as there are plenty of options to play with.

I am very pleased with this pedal and can only imagine what the Modfactor will be capable of.

What ever happened to the Pigtronix Phi Echolution? I'd heard some really silly things about them accidentally being painted pink or something back in winter, but I haven't seen it since.

I dunno, the Phi has a similar price tag I think, so it'd be one or the other if/when I manage to save enough. Any opinions based on manuals and whatnot?

the downside with the Phi IMO is that it's the size of a battleship.

OK, let's try this again!

I decided to do a side by side feature comparison between the Eventide Time Factor and the TC Electronic Nova Delay…just for the heck of it…This is just a quick observation so everyone can get an idea what these two bad boys can do.

Would anyone else have thought that the TimeFactor might have more attention to reverb than it appears to? Here's an interesting section of their FAQ:

"Will there be a Pitch or Reverb Stompbox?
TimeFactor and ModFactor are the first Factor family members and there are no new product announcements at this time."
