Vox Joe Satriani Time Machine Delay Guitar Effects Pedal
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.

I love your term : “floored”. Yeah, that’s the term and feeling that im looking for. Thanks for your review on the Vox, i might just get one for myself real soon.
This is gonna be my favourite
I am a big Satriani fan and have purchased the Vox Time MAchine. I find it to be an easy to use device. Sound quality is good. I would disagree that it is better that the Eventide Time Factor as I use one as well and I find the Eventide to have better sound quality, at least in my set up. I prefer to use the Vox Time Machine to be more of a texture type echo and it works well for my needs.
The only thing I don’t like is that the tap tempo LED appears to have little to do with the actual tempo of the tap. it doesn’t synch with the sound of the echo. That bugs me….
