For the feature, see the following opinion very detailed and well done.
UTILIZATION
As in the following opinion, I would say its use is very simple. The menu structure is very well thought out. Level selectors, can be integrated into any configuration. I said this because, first, the presence of selectors level is very rare on the pedals (Please Eventide) and secondly, I use this pedal not on guitar but on turntables and a sampler in a loop effect and it allowed me to completely remove the differences in level of return I met with the Line 6 DL4. After that, I fully agree with the following opinion with one regret: no switch to turn on / off the machine, seen at this price and the electronics inside, it looks a bit light and not very seriously; but I reassure myself by saying qu'Eventide is a registered still very serious and if they have not switch is that there is no danger and that it was not worth the trouble to take the lead.
SOUND QUALITY
Well, bah there ...
Is happiness, most excellent effects, it sounds serious his mother!
It's beautiful, it's (very beautiful) digital, but it can be hot or cold, it can be specific or downright disgusting and destructive. The potential damage of the feedback is huge. By noon, all parameters are controllable, can have a preset load instantly (I was able to change my sequence presets, very handy in live). MIDI can be dumped ... in short, very full at noon.
However, it is clear that we are not in the modeling, we can approach the delay and vintage classics but the purpose of this pedal is not what to impersonate another, it has its own identity . And compared to the Line 6 DL4, some effects are better achieved at Line 6, for example, the Tape Echo. Line 6 is quite closely approximates a real Space Echo (and I know what I mean, I have a RE-201) whereas in Eventide, I have the impression that this is an echo delay based on a Vintage type who were grafted algorithms wow and flutter. But as I said above, it is not his goal and to promote its pedal, Eventide says they even have built nine of their most legendary algorithms, so the worst part is the modeling of machines Eventide so we will not cry ...
OVERALL OPINION
I traded my Line 6 DL4 2 months ago and I do not regret at all. If during the purchase of my DL4 (3 years ago) were the Time Factor, I opted for it especially given the price difference (approx € 50).
This pedal has its own identity which is felt at once in music. Besides, the modeling pedals are a bit "ordinary" even if they sound good.
What I like least is that, for now, there is no preset editor for PC / Mac, the USB port is only used for upgrades of soft and south ( Finally, I think we can use it like that), hopefully one day we will do Eventide surprise from a publisher.
