These parameters are saved with each preset and include: Tap Division: Selects the subdivision to use for delay repeats when tapping in a tempo. Tap division options include: Quarter notes (default), Dotted Eighth notes, Eighth notes, Triplets, Sixteenth notes note: If TAPDIV is set to anything other than Quarter notes, the TAP LED will blink in amber Boost: +/- 3dB of boost/cut. This can be useful for level matching in your effects chain, or can be used as an effect such as boosting a solo with delay. Persist: Turns on delay persist “trails” which will spill over when the effect is bypassed. Use this if it is desired for delay repeats to continue after the effect has been bypassed. Note that if persist is set to ON, the bypass mode will automatically be analog bypass. Name: Allows editing the 16 character name of the current preset. Use the VALUE encoder to change the selected character. Use the TYPE encoder to select a character. Exit by pressing the VALUE encoder, then press and hold the TYPE encoder to SAVE the name permanently. note: For the preset name to be displayed the NAMES global must be set to ON or SCROLL. Expression Pedal ON/OFF: Enables or disables the expression pedal input for each preset. Expression Pedal Set: Enters the expression pedal setup for each preset. All knobs can be configured to be used with the expression pedal. To set up which knobs are controlled by the expression pedal, push the Value encoder when it displays “EP SET” and it will then display “HEEL”. Turn the knob(s) to the position desired at heel down on the expression pedal. Then, turn the Value encoder right to display”TOE” and set the knobs to their desired values at the toe down position on the expression pedal. An expression pedal can control all of the knobs simultaneously. Tap Mode: Adjusts how the last tapped tempo affects preset changes. Set to PRESET so the delay time will change to the saved value in the preset. Set to GLOBAL so the delay time will remain at the last tapped tempo regardless of what tempo is saved in the preset. MIDI Clock ON/OFF: When set to ON, TimeLine will respond to external MIDI clock from the MIDI input. This parameter is saved independently so that only presets with this parameter set to ON will respond to MIDI Clock. pg 7 VALUE TimeLine - User Manual Delay Machines: Digital ICE REVERSE PATTERN DUCK DUAL SWELL DIGITAL TREM dBUCKET REPEATS TIME push (param) hold (global) MIX ® FILTER FILTER GRIT SPEED A classic crystal-clear “voiced” digital delay. dTAPEA wide range LO-FI of delay tones are possible by tweaking the Filter, Grit and Modulation controls. Modern to classic 80’s delay tones are easily achievable with this delay machine. TYPE MOD DEPT ® BANK / TIME hold (save) PARAMETERS: Smear: A B Softens the attack of the repeats while maintaining full frequency response.

The effect is most easily heard with high Repeats levels, allowing for high repeats that trail off to allow the next phrase or chord to stand out more. OFF ON TIPS & TRICKS: The HIPASS parameter can be very effective in producing bright repeats for a ‘super-clean’ digital delay. Set the Filter and GRIT knobs to minimum position for full bandwidth and experiment. Set GRIT and FILTER knobs to 12:00 for an “analog-voiced” digital delay, or try GRIT at minimum and FILTER at maximum for a “tape-voiced” digital delay. pg 8 TimeLine - User Manual VALUE PATTERN Delay Machines: Dual DUCK REPEATS TIME push (param) hold (global) ICE REVERSE MIX SWELL DUAL DIGITAL TREM Two independent delay lines that can be run in series or parallel.

Set to TRACK to follow Delay 1 Mix, set by the Mix knob. When not set to TRACK, you can set an independent mix level for delay 2. In this case changing the Mix knob will only affect the mix level for Delay 1. TRACK ||||||||||| High Pass: Reduces the low frequency content of the wet signal after the delay. A useful additional tone sculptor for delays on low-note riffs or chords where you want to reduce booming in your rig. OFF 20Hz Configuration: DEPT hold (save) Adjusts the delay time of Delay 2 relative to Delay 1. Since Delay 2 is a ratio of Delay 1, it adjusts with changes in delay TIME or Tap Tempo to keep the same ratio, and allows for cool rhythmic effects. 1/8 Repeats 2: ® 40Hz 120Hz 140Hz 230Hz 260Hz 500Hz 600Hz 60Hz 160Hz 300Hz 700Hz 80Hz 180Hz 350Hz 800Hz 100Hz 200Hz 400Hz 900Hz Select from a series or parallel dual delay setup. In series, Delay 1 feeds Delay 2, just as if you had two independent stereo delays connected on your pedalboard. In parallel configuration, the input signal goes to Delay 1 and Delay 2 simultaneously, and the output of the two delays are fed to the Left and Right channels respectively (or summed to the Left channel in Mono operation). SERIES PARA TIPS & TRICKS: Set the CONFIG param to PARALLEL to get independent Right and Left channel delay lines (the two parallel delays will be summed to mono in mono operation - very useful for rhythmic delays). This also allows for a ‘wet - dry’ stereo setup as follows: CONFIG param to PARALLEL ::: Turn the MIX knob to minimum (dry) ::: Set RPT2 param to TRACK Set TIME2 param to 1:1 ::: Set MIX2 param to set the level of the delays Now the knobs on the machine will control Delay2 (Right channel), while Delay1 (Left channel) is dry only (since MIX knob is minimum). The repeats will only be heard from the Right channel. pg 9 TimeLine - User Manual Delay Machines: Pattern ® VALUE REVERSE ICE PATTERN DUCK REPEATS TIME push (param) hold (global) MIX SWELL DUAL A delay with selectable repeat patterns that provide a wide range of sounds.

Pattern 16 is a sort of ‘early reflection’ pattern. Experiment with delay times around 200mS, lots of Repeats and the SMEAR param at maximum to create reverb-like sounds. Add some MOD DEPTH at lower MOD SPEED and play with the Filter and Grit knobs and HIPASS param to dial in the ‘reverb’ tone. pg 10 TimeLine - User Manual ® VALUE Delay Machines: Reverse ICE REVERSE PATTERN DUCK REPEATS TIME push (param) hold (global) MIX SWELL An improvement on the classicDUAL reverse delay.

Experiment with the FILTER, GRIT and MOD knobs. To keep your dry signal feeding into the reverse delay while effectively bypassed, assign an expression to control the MIX knob. Assign the HEEL position to the MIX knob at minimum. Assign the TOE position to the desired wet mix on the MIX knob. Rock the expression pedal all the way back to bypass the delay.

Lower values produce milder filtering effects with a broader response and lower resonance. Higher values create sharper resonant peaks which can lend to dramatic sweeping and special effects 0.5 Location: 0.7 1.2 2.0 3.0 5.0 1.0 1.5 2.5 4.0 7.0 This parameter places the LFO-controlled filter either before the delay line (PRE) or after the delay line (POST). The sonic differences between the two can be substantial, with POST creating a more prominent effect. PRE POST High Pass: Reduces the low frequency content of the wet signal after the delay. A useful additional tone sculptor for delays on low-note riffs or chords where you want to reduce booming in your rig.

BANKbucket DOWN BANK UP SINGLE TAP TIPS & TRICKS: The RANGE PLAY parameter selects a ‘one-chip’ dBucket delay, or a ‘two-chip’ dBucket delay. The one-chip delay has half the delay range (SINGLE - 400mS) as the twochip delay (DOUBLE - 800mS), and experiences clock-related artifacts at half the delay time as the two-chip delay. For cleaner delays of 300ms to 400ms, use DOUBLE with lower GRIT settings.

NOTE: The loop can be played in the background if desired. Normally the loop will stop when exiting the looper. To keep playing the loop when exiting looper set the Looper Exit global to PLAY. The looper can also be controlled via MIDI at all times. LOOPER GLOBALS: There are controls to vary the loop level, looper exit behavior and looper pre or post configuration in the GLOBALS menu. Please consult the globals section of the manual for more information. LOOPER MIDI CONTROL: Controlling the looper via MIDI is accomplished by sending MIDI note numbers with a velocity greater than zero OR MIDI CCs. Record, Play, Stop, Reverse, Half Speed, Undo (to initial recorded loop) and Redo can all be controlled via MIDI. See the MIDI specification for the note numbers and CCs. pg 20 TimeLine - User Manual ® Globals Menu Global parameters affect TimeLine regardless of what preset is currently active.
