I have a large rig. I am running two Fender 5150 III Heads and three cabs. One Cab has Greenback 30’s and the others are those Krank cabs with those Eminence Texas Heat speakers. I like to blend the two speakers since my signal is so dirty anyway. In my Rack I have 1 Korg SDD 1000 and I had an old Vintage Roland SDE 1000 and a 3000 digital delay. Those units in their day were the units to have. I have also owned a MXR 113 Digital delay but it made a little bit of noise and I didn’t have the other memory cards for needed memory. I not too long ago bought an Eventide Time factor stomp box. It was too complicated and it seemed to mess up my amps sound or it seemed to have a bunch of stuff I didn’t need or couldn’t access when I needed to. I even owned a Line 6 Delay modeler and it seemed to mess with my amps sound too.

I didn’t spend that kind of bread on amps to then go buy another item that would restrict it’s tone or energy. I tried this Time Machine by Joe Satriani, and I am just literally floored! I can’t believe the quality of sound and simplicity. For me honestly,the only thing better is a tape echoplex and from what I am hearing it is not too too much better. It is ok but not for the $$. Easy access here too with this green Time machine. I ran the other line out from the Time Machine’s Dry output and into my other Fender 5150III and Holy Cow Andy!! I really don’t need my other delays anymore. The action,the sound and tap tempo feature!! I love it! Im running a Deja Vibe 2 into my Clyde Delux Waw and then into the Vox Saturator and into my Green Time Machine and into both amps. I sold my Vintage rack delay to buy this with absolutely no regrets!! In fact I want to buy two more of these just to save new in their boxes.
