Strymon Timeline MX Multi Digital Delay Pedal

The Most Powerful Delay Pedal Ever!

With the ability to use two effects at once with raw power to spare, TimeLine MX delivers stunning studio-quality delays and a host of new professional features in an elegant and intuitive stage-ready design. Every sound is carefully tuned to react musically to your playing, and every control has been calibrated for an intuitive feel and response. From classic echoes dripping with vintage vibe to captivating and modern sounds that push the envelope, TimeLine MX is full of fresh inspiration.

New Oil Can, Spectral, Drum and Multitap delay engines are paired with significant enhancements to classic TimeLine delay machines. In addition to the 11 onboard delays, a stellar new reverb engine is included, allowing TimeLine MX to be your all-in-one delay plus reverb pedal. In addition to a wealth of new sounds, a 5-minute stereo looper, full MIDI control, intuitive UI and more combine to make TimeLine MX the most powerful delay pedal on the market.
