Strymon - Eventide

Re: Strymon - Eventide

I've never tried the Eventide stuff, but I have a Mobius on my board that I like a lot. My decision was made 100% by watching YouTube demos of the two products.
 
Re: Strymon - Eventide

cool
what do you think about the mobius ? i wonder if the chorus is not too much digital
and the flanger " real"
i would like a product to have several chorus- flanger in order to have presets
good quality and a sound close to analog pedals

Strymon makes a lot of demos but i prefer others demos :) from users
but i really don't know how it sounds

I sold my TimeFactor and there's an El Capistan on my pedalboard that I love.

So far I really like it. I chose the Strymon because I needed a digital multiFX for space concerns on my board, and the Mobius sounded the most "analog" to me. I think a lot of the digital boxes sound like the effect is sitting on top of your tone, not as part of it... but the Strymon seemed much more natural.

I may one day pare things down to only 2 or so main modulation effects and then go with analog stomps for them, but I'm currently very happy with my board.

This was a big reason I ditched the TimeFactor. I could never quite get the delays to stand separate from the dry signal and everything just kind of mushed together. With the El Capistan I can mix the delays fairly wet and the dry signal will still have good clarity.
 
Re: Strymon - Eventide

The eternal struggle!

They are both fantastic. To me, the Eventide is better for inspiring sounds that spur creativity. strymon makes fantastic sounding effects that are very user friendly.

I have an Orville and a DECO, so that is what my impressions are based upon.
 
Re: Strymon - Eventide

I've heard and or watched all the youtube demos. I bought a BigSky reverb two Christmases ago and all of my Reverb needs have been met and exceeded.

I have very basic needs. I want a sweetener and a recockulous surf verb. I just wanted a unit with a couple of switches on it so I can go back and forth.

The Big Sky is so lush and so physical, I use it for everything. Once you have it dialed in...if you have midi...you don't even need to touch it.

You can control whatever parameter you want with an expression pedal.

It just makes everything better.

I even held it out my window during 5 o'clock traffic one day and all the cars in front of me just disappeared.

Not to mention, I'm such a slut for cosmetics...I just think the Strymons look better.

Wow ... that makes me regret having purchased the Neunaber Wet Reverb!
 
Re: Strymon - Eventide

I swing both ways. I run an H9 (max) into a Timeline into another H9 (max). The sonic possibilities are almost endless.

Eventide really hit it out of the park with the H9, especially their continued support - a la updates, new features, and new algorithm releases. That said, I'm not sure I'll ever part with my Timeline. For my bread and butter delay needs, I just haven't found anything that did what this unit can do. Incredible versatility. I do like a lot of the delay sounds that the H9 does also. I frequently stack multiple delays.

Another vote for the Eventide H9. The unit sounds incredible and there seems to be no limitations to what it can do. The EVH settings are cool as hell and really nail Eddie's tone. I love everything about the unit.
 
Re: Strymon - Eventide

I like Strymon's execution of the smaller stomp boxes. The Timeline/Timefactor, Möbius/Modfactor and Big Sky/Space are all ultra-powerful, and I think it's amazing the processing power available in a small box, but reaching down and twisting knobs is so natural in the El Cap and Blue Sky. I make music with those, I twiddle knobs endlessly with the Timeline.

(All my own personal shortcomings, of course. :))

It's like all the Eventide Factor pedals in one.
