DIG vs Timeline dilemma

[SimpleSi]

I must say the Echolution tonks the shit out of the timeline for tone and user friendliness

I need the presets

Hence timeline/DD-500

It has presets and midi and all the good shit. But I know what it's like when you're after a particular item, nothing else will do!

i must be looking at the wrong echolution then.

it's not that nothing else will do.

haha, I've had a timeline - enjoyed it a lot.

I'm going to see how i feel about the DD-500

otherwise I may have to bite the bullet for a new Timeline - importing one 2nd had or new from anywhere atm will still land anywhere between 600-750.
Although I refuse to pay the NZ price increase purely because of what I've bought my last ones for haha. - Plus one went here not long ago for like $500 then sold again for $550.. so it's not a big ask.

I paid $600 for my Bigsky which is a "$900" reverb pedal.

Echolution2 Deluxe has midi and presets.

Seriously, I've owned a Timeline, the E2D kicked its tonal ass

based on?

curious on the Tonal opinions.

I've not had much success with many Delays.

only the Vox Time Machine and Timeline have every stuck for me.

You do realise when you paid those prices our dollar was in the high 80s?

But yes, I miss it too

yeah i know that - it's just plain ignorance.

Plus Anyone that has bought one new recently wouldn't sell it anyhow. Price is too high retail now.

[MattAnt]

Yea. I paid $450 for my BS new from Heywire locally...

Should've bought up large while the going was good.

Based on having the Timeline and E2D on my board at once. Biiiiiiig caveat - if you don't prefer analog tones, you won't agree

Echolution Deluxe is rated!

Also your Strymon price from Andertons?

331.82 pounds shipped
NZ$624 @ NZD/GBP 0.53 (Generous fx)
NZ$93 GST
NZ$49 processing

Total is NZ$767 by my calcs. I'd take the $750 offer and get a warranty and NZ consumer protection!

(Or I'd buy my Echolution for near half that )

Correct.

Si, how are you calculating it cheaper?

[StratMatt]

Not another one of these threads..

Looks like it's become another import price debate... But regarding DIG vs Timeline, I have both, using the Dig currently for acoustic and Timeline for electric. You said you need presets so you've kind of answered your question but I'd happily discuss if you wanted to message me with a number. I found very quickly with the DIG I was popping up and down between songs and became annoying playing electric, but I tend to keep things more simple with acoustic but kept it for that. Sounds wise, awesome. And that and the Flint is a superb one-two. But then, so is the Timeline and the Big Sky haha!

The Timeline debate I reckon comes down more to the extended delay machines and layered filtered trickery. If not, Maybe it's worth lining up a DIG, Carbon Copy and the new Echoplex in a row and mix and match. Not sure the spend would be that much different, perhaps with the first two used? And while I'm ignorant about the new Boss offering, their delays over the years have been the staple and their attempt at a Timeline beater has to be worth a look.

Ask your bank for a USD denominated account. When the rates spikes, move some gear fund into it.

I know Strymons are fairly liquid but that's more liquid

Second hand on reverb is where I'm getting prices.

Cheaper than anywhere. But not enough for me to bring it in without paying a huge gst bill plus shipping.
