I still have my replex and love it, I always thought the damage control unit looked cool and thought about pulling the trigger but I would rather a have a few different small boxes, I get frustrated dealing with too much in one unit. I stumbled across this on youtube the other day, this might turn out to be a killer delay. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2yDjVsnGN8![]()

I had the same issue you did with the Timefactor completely fucking up my tone, and that was even in my parallel loop. I mean, it made my amp sound like ass. The one thing that helped was to turn on the Killdry. Even so, i don't think the Timefactor is really a huge leap of improvement over say a DD20 or a Nova. It's better because of the added features but the Timeline flat out sounds better, especially the modulations. But i like to hear that Echolution, and Fuchs has a new pedal coming out as well.
The only thing the Timeline lacks is line level ins and outs to drive it harder in a loop. But the grit knob helps a lot.
danyeo":33ue3mmv said:I messed around with the Timefactor for a few days and i don't think it sounds nearly as good as the Timeline, the modulation on the Timefactor really left me flat. And i did install the new update. If the Echolution sounds as lush as you say then I'd really like to hear that.

I don't like the Carbon Copy at all. And I'm selling the Timefactor if anyone is interested.
Kaleiwahea":ugw9ube6 said:PW, just watched this after posting about the Time Factor. That pedal seems to be a reasonable facsimilie of the TF. All the features you displayed so gloriously are what the TF does so well. If you haven't tried one yet, you should. If you have, well, then carry on.........![]()

this may be beating a dead horse because you mentioned this before and may not have any negative side effects going on, for instance pete thorn likes some dry in his wet cabs, etc.....
but you do know that when running an effect in a parallel loop, you should always have the killdry on so that nothing but 100 percent wet signal is coming out of the loop, and then you just use the effect's internal level controls, or amp's send/return controls to adjust overall sound
don't want any dry signal coming out of the effect or else the dry from the parallel loop mixes with the original dry signal and could phase cancel the dry tone, particularly if there is the slightest bit of latency due to a/d-d/a conversion on the dry tone.
i've made similar mistakes thinking an effect sounded bad or bright only to realize that it was phase cancellation totally undermining the tone.

Yes, i used the Timefactor both ways, with killdry off and on. It didn't seem to bother my tone that much when killdry was on, but with killdry on other pedals in the loop didn't work. I have a reverb pedal that works great in my loop that i like to use. I guess that makes sense that it didn't work with the Timefactor when it's killdry was on.
With killdry off, i noticed a big change in tone from the pedal. Adjusting the the send and return levels of my loop helped a little, but i still heard a difference, not in a good way.
But regardless, when i had the Timefactor with killdry on i still wasn't blown away by the pedal. Sure it works ok and can do a lot of things, but it came off like a modeler to me and i don't like Eventides take on what modulation should sound like from a delay pedal. I could use the pedal and get by with it, but for the price? No thanks.
I hear ya, if I could make it perfect for me I would chop the verb, what a waste of space. Then add independent feedback and volume controls for the single and dual heads. But I get along with it fine now, I just set up two nice different yet very spaced out delays and proceed to not rock out.mentoneman":phwkbggi said:Nigel Tufnel":phwkbggi said:Had a nice round with the replex tonight, screw the mammoth footprint this thing still buries boots in the taint. That is all.
replex overall tube tone and controls, midi, in a smaller box, with tap tempo button instead of the lame reverb, and the skreddy warble controls instead of just the vintage knob......
perfect
Kaleiwahea":3cb6y50w said:From Eventide, just FYI.
TimeFactor alters my tone, adding brightness to the signal. Why?
When used with some low impedance tube amps it may sound like TimeFactor/ModFactor is
adding brightness when Active because it is acting as a buffer. This is really letting you hear the highs that were lost from your signal without a buffer. Many amps have buffered effects loops to address this issue. In this case we recommend that you connect our Stompboxes through the effects loop of these amps. If your amp does not have an effects loop, or if you prefer to run our Stompboxes in front of the amp (after the guitar before the amp’s input,) a solution would be to always have a buffer pedal in the signal chain before TimeFactor/ModFactor (if using relay Bypass) or simply always use DSP Bypass mode.
I use mine in the loop using DSP Bypass mode, and have no problems at all. But, I do understand the $ thing, and I do agree that overall it does sound more digital than the others mentioned in this thread. A moot point though, seeing that ALL of my sound-tone-technique-fx-filtering-tonestack-caps and speaker ohmage come from my fingers.......![]()
