\"\"A reader\u2019s question to the Dude:<\/h3>\n

I am a big Andy Timmons fan and I know that Andy uses a Strymon Timeline as substitute for a dual EHX Deluxe Memory Man. Can you help me regarding the setting?<\/em><\/p>\n

DelayDude:<\/h3>\n

I\u00b4m not totally familiar with Andy Timmons settings, though he has a great tone.
\nAs far as I know, he uses the dual setting of his Strymon Timeline. The delay timing is a dotted 8th \u00bc note repeat with one side set to 350-375ms delay and the other side set to 500-512ms.
\nThe delays are in series.
\nSet the time of your Timeline to 500 and the time 2 to \u00be.
\nThe Timeline is connected in the FX Loop and Andy has an expression pedal connected to the Timeline to increase or decrease the amount of echo volume blended with the dry tone.
\nHe uses a stereo setup (if possible) or sums to mono (as required).
\nThe modulation is pretty low and not synchronous to the delay time to archive a kind of tape echo emulation. I would start with low speed (8-9 o\u00b4clock) and deeper depth (12-2 o\u00b4clock). Switch the hi-pass off. Mix and repeats are about at 11 o\u00b4clock (Mix and repeats of the second delay are the same \u2013 you can set them to \u201ctrack\u201d).<\/p>\n

You can see his setting in this video<\/a> at 7:28.
\nIf he didn\u00b4t mess with the pots and uses a preset, it might help to find his setting.
\nAnd by using two amps close together, you will get a wider sound and more ambient space.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
