Time Factor & Loop Question

[Moby1]

Hello everyone

I currently run my series loop in my roadking II at around 1:30, find I get my prefered volume and sound in that region.

I've used modulation stomp box type pedals and delays with it a couple of times and find when I switch the loops on via the king controller there is a massive volume boost and end up pulling them out by the end of a gig.

I now put my chorus in front of the amp, which I now quite like... but I'd like to have the delay in the loop.

I fancy an Eventide Timefactor, you guys keep talking about, but wonder about the 'hot' output in the loop. would it cope ok? I know it has a line level setting

Thanks

Did you change the setting on the Timefactor to run in the loop???

haven't got an eventide timefactor yet, just using a cheap marshall stomp box delay pedal. Hence why i wanted to upgrade. Just worried the loop would be effectively too hot for even the time factor on my current 1.30 setting. Thanks

I think you should run it at the noon setting to not get that volume boost that you don't desire. At least that's what I've found with my Roadster...

I have the Eventide Timefactor and run it in the effects loop of my Lonestar Classic which, if I'm not mistaken, is a series loop as well. I run mine between 1:00 and 2:00 and have no issues with volume. The Timefactor and noise gate are the only effects I'm running in my loop.

thanks guys, going to try and get hold of a timefactor next week. Hope they rock as much as people say!

Once you get one, make sure you turn off the buffer in the Timefactor. Running the buffer in a valve buffered loop actually makes the signal too hot...
