Strymon

Description

The Strymon TimeLine MX represents the next evolution of one of the most respected delay pedals ever created, expanding the original TimeLine's acclaimed sound engine with dramatically increased processing power, dual-engine operation and an array of new creative possibilities. Powered by a tri-core 800MHz ARM processor, it can run two independent delay or reverb engines simultaneously in series, parallel or split configurations, unlocking remarkably sophisticated sound design while maintaining the intuitive workflow that has long defined the TimeLine. New Spectral, Multitap, Drum, Oil Can and Reverb engines join enhanced versions of the original TimeLine classics, while a built-in five-minute stereo looper, premium analog dry path and extensive professional connectivity make the TimeLine MX equally at home on stage and in the studio. From vintage-inspired echoes to expansive ambient soundscapes, it delivers studio-quality processing designed to support everything from classic delay sounds to ambitious modern sound design.

Dual-Engine Processing With Delay and Reverb

Forming the heart of the TimeLine MX is the ability to run two independent processing engines simultaneously, transforming the pedal into a remarkably powerful creative platform. This allows players to stack complementary delays, build complex rhythmic interactions or combine delay and reverb within a single preset. Combine two delay machines or pair any delay with the new reverb engine using series, parallel or split routing to create everything from spacious stereo ambience to intricate rhythmic interplay. Eleven studio-quality delay engines cover an extraordinary range of sounds, including new Spectral, Multitap, Drum and Oil Can algorithms alongside enhanced versions of the TimeLine classics. Whether crafting subtle echoes or immersive soundscapes, every engine has been carefully voiced to respond naturally and musically to your playing.

New Delay Engines for Unmatched Sonic Exploration

The TimeLine MX expands the original platform with several entirely new sound engines while significantly refining the delays players already know and love. Spectral Delay applies granular-style processing that slices incoming audio into fragments before reshaping it with pitch, reverse, time-stretch and filtering effects. Multitap provides extensive per-tap control over level, panning, filtering and feedback for everything from intricate rhythmic patterns to lush ambient washes, while Drum and Oil Can authentically recreate the distinctive character of their vintage inspirations. A luxurious new reverb engine further extends the pedal's creative range, and with Swell and Duck now available across every delay machine, the TimeLine MX rewards experimentation without ever sacrificing musicality.

Deep Tone Shaping With an Intuitive Interface

Strymon designed the TimeLine MX to put extraordinary processing power within immediate reach. A large OLED display, dedicated parameter controls and an intuitive editing structure make navigating even the most sophisticated presets feel fast and approachable. Controls for Time, Repeats, Filter, Grit, Speed, Depth and Mix provide immediate access to the parameters you'll adjust most often, while the Type selector and Value encoder make switching engines and exploring deeper functions feel natural rather than menu-driven. Each delay engine presents its own thoughtfully organized set of parameters, making everything from subtle tonal refinement to intricate dual-engine sound design feel immediate, intuitive and inspiring.

Professional Workflow for Stage and Studio

Designed for demanding professional rigs, the Strymon TimeLine MX combines exceptional flexibility with an elegant, performance-focused workflow. A built-in five-minute stereo looper supports both traditional looping and spontaneous one-button layering directly from the Tap footswitch, while comprehensive MIDI implementation via USB-C, DIN and TRS integrates seamlessly into sophisticated switching systems. Stereo inputs and outputs, configurable routing options and an internally repositionable stereo effects loop accommodate virtually any signal chain, and premium analog circuitry—including discrete Class A JFET input preamps, an analog dry path and selectable true or buffered bypass—preserves every nuance of your tone. Combining dual-engine flexibility, expanded sound design tools and professional-grade connectivity, the Strymon TimeLine MX establishes a new standard for players seeking a truly comprehensive delay and ambient effects platform.
