"We don't know of any other pedal that can do this, and when you consider how simple it is to set up, the power of the TimeBender really becomes apparent".

Following an award winning Guitarist magazine review last month, the Digitech TimeBender is reviewed in the latest issue of Guitar Buyer, receiving the magazine's 'Gold Stars' for "Great delay sounds", "Solid construction", a "Simple interface" and "Incredible pitch-shifting possibilities". 'Black Marks'...none!

Continuing DigiTech's tradition of innovation, the TimeBender Musical Delay leaps ahead of delay pedals as we know it. The TimeBender allows you to input not only the tempo of your delays, but allows you to strum a pattern and the TimeBender will set the repeats based on your desired rhythm. On top of the extraordinary rhythm features, the TimeBender also produces intelligent harmonies on the repeats. If that is not enough, 10 delay types are featured including two tape delays, full-time modulation and a 23 second looper. Until the TimeBender, these type of delay effects consisted of racks of gear and was a studio trick. Now you can put it on your pedalboard.

"The lush chorus of the modulation is wide ranging and, when combined with the analogue-style dealy, there is great scope for some Memory Man-eque warbling repeats. Bring in more extreme sounds and that ever-useful tap tempo footswitch, and the appeal certainly broadens - already we're starting to think that this could be the only delay unit many players will need on their pedalboard".

"...it's the harmonising functions of the TimeBender that really take it to the next level. As with the Harmonyman, it's easy to set the key you're in by simply holding down the right-hand footswitch and playing a chord. Those without a good knowledge of music theory needn't fear, as an experimental approach invariably yields some very interesting and inspiring results".

"The TimeBender might be a complex pedal, but it always manages to retain the simplicity of a stompbox...Combine all this with four memory presets, a looper and very rugged construction, as well as the added dimensions the pattern and harmony controls bring, and the TimeBender starts to look like the Swiss Army knife of delays".
