    @Jason: Worth every minute!

    @Ethan: I’d buy you guys coffee, but I live no where close!

  2. Ben says:

    Ethan, can the Timeline be used as a midi controller? ie on A and B patches it sends out midi CC, and on bypass it sends out midi CC?

    Cheers!

  3. this will be our month says:

    here’s june, let’s hope we don’t hear “maybe july”

  4. Devan says:

    So I literally just dreamed about the TimeLine release…more like a nightmare. Though I was notified within minutes of it’s release, my computer was too slow and it sold out before I got through the checkout process. Lol. I have issues :)

  5. Tim says:

    Haha! I did too! I dreamed I won the TimeLine #0001 giveaway, but since I just had surgery on my fret hand and elbow (for real, just 2 days ago), I couldn’t do anything cool with it right away… so I recorded some beatboxing and vocals through it… a thank-you poem to Strymon. So… if you knew me, you’d know that means zero rhythm and kindergarten-level lyrics… I woke up in a cold sweat thinking I’d actually posted it online somewhere :-)

  6. Jimmy Miley says:

    OK, The contest ended. Who won ?

  7. Ethan says:

    When we hear back from the winner, we’ll let you know!

  8. Joe says:

    Want Timeline… Neeeeed… Timeline. Come on Strymon!!!

  9. Carlos says:

    any idea when a manual will be available???

  10. Carlos says:

    oh, while im asking the questions, any specific midi controllers its compatable with?? midi mouse???? or will anything likely do??

  11. Ethan says:

    @Carlos – the manual will most likely be available a few days before we ship. TimeLine has MIDI in/out (and selectable thru) so it should be compatible with just about any controller. MIDI mouse is a good choice. :)

  12. Jason says:

    Thanks a lot for the new lap dance videos!

  13. Devan says:

    If you havent heard back from the winner yet, he must not need/want it all that badly…I guess you can just give it to me instead ;)

  14. Chris says:

    I’ve listened to your videos and they sound really great. The guitarist is not only good but he knows what to play to highlight the equipment and not himself. Rare!

    The Damage Control Demonizer sounds awesome also. Since this is discontinued, what do you recommend to record in stereo and have this warm sound? Thank you.

  15. Todd says:

    Ethan:- Will you be able to hold down a switch to enable infinite repeats like El Capistan? This would make it “infinitely” more useful to me!

  16. Chris says:

    Yes you can enable infinite repeats, as shown here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cL6PVnOMq4

  17. Joseph Ferrari says:

    You can do this (it’s in the videos). I don’t know if this has been posted anywhere but does anyone know the max. delay times?

  18. ruud wagenaar says:

    Those guys of strymon not only work extremely hard in my view they are also perfectionists who make a heavenly dream come true at planet earth as it comes to tone and more. And they have the discipline to be patient. To only release a product when it is good. Not earlier. They take the time to do it first time right instead of launching beta stuff with a lot of quality issues. Good job guys of strymon and a massive amount of compliments for your beautiful botique pedals. ruud wagenaar from holland

  19. Chris says:

    @ruud wagenaarsays – Yes I agree 100% and I wish more companies worked like that these days!

    Companies talk a lot about quality but they make poor products. It seems Strymon is not doing that and I think there’s a future for such a policy.

  20. Keith says:

    Ethan, I was just wondering if you know how large your first run will be. Do you think there will be enough for those of us chomping at the bit for a Timeline? Also, any update on the progress?
    Thanks!

  21. Michael says:

    @Ethan – Had a quick question. I’m wondering if there’s any way to reorder saved presets/banks? This would mean I could save settings for all the songs I play and reorder them into sets as needed. Is this possible without a MIDI controller?

  22. Tony says:

    Ethan, I know you can set the trails to continue from one bank when you’ve switched to another one. but will you have any control over this trail while being in the second bank?

  23. Jason says:

    @everyone with questions, just buy the fucking thing

  24. Jason says:

    It’ll be worth the wait

  25. Todd says:

    The only thing I’m not fussed over are those ugly knobs, would prefer ones like my El Capistan and orbit has!

  26. ruud wagenaar says:

    Last saturday i experienced the el capistan. 3 hours play at musicstore feedback in eindhoven. But beside it’s a great botique pedal I can’t wait for the king himself: Mr Timeline when will you see the light? Waiting is an exercise to be patient….

  27. Guy says:

    Hi Ethan – Do you think the Timeline way ever have the ‘Fixed head’ mode added to dTape like on El Capistan? i Wouldn’t ask if El Capistan had Midi then I buy one of them too :)

  28. Alex says:

    Stop asking Ethan questions lol! The more you ask him questions the longer the release is delayed!! And I don’t think we can take another month of waiting!!

  29. Jason says:

    Alex, word!

  30. jim says:

    Will it have the ability to split the dry signal and provide dual delays?

  31. Mark says:

    Oh my god this is getting to be unbearable! I hope you guys release it at a decent time so us West coasters aren’t still asleep and miss out on the sale.

  32. Chris says:

    It has just been released in some countries (USA, Canada, etc.) because I’ve just received the newsletter saying so. But in Europe we have to wait for another 30 to 60 days…

    I hope to see videos and read feedback from the first users!

  33. John Kanaka Too-Rye-Ay says:

    Max delay time, anyone?

  34. Chris says:

    The TL keeps being postponed in Europe. It was end of July, then early August, then end of August, now mid-September… :-(

  35. ketar says:

    the shop here in italy where I use to buy told that next tuesday the TL should be available. Possible? I’ll let you know.

  36. LarriveePlayer says:

    I made a preorder purchase this weekend through one of Make’n Music – one of Strymon’s retailers. I wish I knew when they were shipping. The retailer has no word at all when they will be able to fulfill the order. Has anyone heard news on shipping of the Timeline?

  37. ketar says:

    they were right. I received mine… and now see you in september ;)

  38. Ruud Wagenaar says:

    Last time I was just too late to buy one from fist batch. I was at a cruise in Greece without internet. But….Dear Strymon, what is the most likely date that the second batch of timelines will become available for sale?

    best regards
    ruud from Holland

  39. Chris says:

    Hi,

    I live in Europe and I hear from Thomann that you have again postponed the delivery to 7 October. Is that date reliable?

    Cheers

  40. Ethan says:

    Hi Chris, we’ve had some slowdowns with our metal supplier and will be shipping more TimeLine pedals to Europe as soon as we can. Thanks!

  41. Chris says:

    Would you have an approximate shipping date? Thomann’s site says now 4 November and the are clearly unreliable for that.

  42. Aiden says:

    Hello,

    I live in Australia and this pedal took the spot of the Eventide Timefactor I was going to buy in a few weeks.
    Will this pedal be available in Australia and if so, will it be available soon?
    It’s not that I’m in a hurry it’s just that very few cool things come to Australia.

    Thanks,
    -Aiden

  43. Garrett says:

    When does this pedal come out and how much will it cost?

  44. Ethan says:

    @Garrett – TimeLine is available now for US $449:
    http://store.strymon.net

  45. Chris says:

    What’s going on with production? No TL in Europe… For the 9th time the release date was postponed to late November instead of early Nov…

  46. Ethan says:

    Hi Chris—we had made a large shipment to our European dealers about a month or so ago, and this unfortunately did not satisfy all of the demand within Europe. We are working our tails off building more TimeLine pedals and will be making another shipment as soon as we can. We don’t have any control over how many pre-orders our European dealers take, which can affect the availability date that they publish. Thanks for your patience and understanding.

  47. savvaskousa says:

    Can the Timeline be used just as looper without the delays being on?

  48. Ethan says:

    Hey there, yes you can use the looper without delays on if you like. Just make sure you’re set to buffered bypass. Thanks!
