Strymon Engineering has released the new Timeline MX multi-delay workstation. The original Timeline has been a mainstay of pro pedalboards for over a decade, and the MX adds a range of new features and capabilities to the platform.
Timeline MX can run any two machines simultaneously with different audio routing and panning scenarios, and features several new delay algorithms never before included in a Strymon pedal. A new one-button looper joins the original version with a full five minutes of recording time, and a flexible new reverb has been added along with a configurable hardware insert and a large OLED screen. With 12 distinct delay algorithms onboard and extensive I/O and tactile control, Timeline MX integrates into any playing or recording situation.
"It's taken a long time, but the day is finally here," said Gregg Stock, Strymon's CEO and analog guru. "I'm really proud of the entire group that worked on this project and what they've accomplished — it takes a diverse collection of talented folk to create a product like this, and everyone brought their 'A' game to work every day. Here's hoping MX inspires a bunch of new music!"
"It was important that it had all of the stuff people would be expecting, but also some surprises," said Sean Halley, Strymon's marketing guy. "The new Spectral engine with control of individual grains, the new MultiTap machine with shaping and pan control for each tap, and all of the new stuff like Oil Can and Drum takes it to a whole new level, all while retaining the goodness that made the original unit such an icon. It really doesn't matter if you're looking for modern huge soundscapes or a completely vintage experience — or a mix of both — Timeline MX excels at everything in the world of delay."
Timeline MX carries a street price of $679. For more information visit Strymon.net.
