@Dan – would love to hear what you think of the Skreddy. And yes, it will be great to get a “Timeline” of this size and MIDI capability!

@Jed – i love seeing boards that are home-made, too! The only hard thing is to get a nice case to go with it

A piece of plywood. That’s awesome. I have a couple friends who use a plastic cutting board they bought at Wallmart and an old brief cases found at Good Will. Nothing like resourceful pedal boards.

Thanks for the demo and review. I’m glad you like the pedal that much to put the velcro on! I got a Skreddy Echo a month ago and haven’t even put together a review! I did spend some time dialing in a likeness on the M13 using lo res delay (never knew why worship guys liked this delay model enough to put a DL4 on their board). It’s interesting that Strymon said that the only difference between the Brigadier and the Timeline was the code not what the chip could handle. They would sell some pedals if they put that code in a smaller box.

@Jed – Thanks! I got the hard case for cheap sometime ago. The board itself is just a piece of plywood I had lying around with 10′ (stripped into 2′ each) of industrial strength velcro on top.

Putting velcro on the pedal, that means something. Pedal sounds great. Pedal board looks great too. What board is that?

Thanks guys!

It does sound very good for the price and for what it is trying to do. I’m already in the process of deciding whether to keep the Diamond ML on this board or not. I probably use delay about 50% or less so having 2 seems a bit much.

Oh yeah, Strymon just updated the code for the new ones to include an “EQ Tilt” (same as Diamond) and to improve the depth of Mod which is already good. That is a bummer for me as it’s not easy shipping back-and-forth (US-Canada)

@Larry – No, not holding out on you guys … I briefly mentioned it on one of my previous posts. It’s a: Mini A/B by RoadRagePro (http://www.roadrageprogear.com/abs.html). So now I am running buffer-less and I’m liking it a little better. I may need a “real” buffer next time

Winter Olympics…. Congrats *cough on the *cough hockey….’

Sounds great! And the price point is lower than the ML!
I might look into this pedal for later….

Btw, what is the small silver box, top right board? That looks new~! Have you been holding out on us??? :p
