2. Per iniziare: configurazione

2.1. Cosa c'è nella scatola

• Strymon TimeLine Multidimensional Delay Pedal
• Alimentazione a 9 Volt

2.2. Collegamento elettrico

Connect the included 9-volt DC power supply to the 9 V CC input jack on the rear panel of the TimeLine pedal. Ensure the power supply is rated for 9V DC with a center-negative polarity and sufficient current (minimum 300mA recommended).

2.3. Collegamenti audio

The TimeLine supports both mono and stereo operation. Use standard 1/4-inch instrument cables for all audio connections.

• Configurazione mono: Connect your instrument or preceding pedal to the LASCIATO IN jack. Collegare il LASCIATO FUORI jack per il tuo amplificatore o pedale successivo.
• Configurazione stereo: Connect your stereo signal source to both LASCIATO IN E PROPRIO DENTRO jack. Collegare il LASCIATO FUORI E DESTRA FUORI jack per il tuo stereo amplifier setup or mixer.
• Loop degli effetti: IL RITORNO E INVIARE jacks can be used for an external effects loop, allowing you to insert other pedals into the TimeLine's signal path.

2.4. Connessioni MIDI

The TimeLine features Ingresso MIDI E Uscita MIDI ports for advanced control and synchronization. Use standard 5-pin DIN MIDI cables to connect to MIDI controllers, interfaces, or other MIDI-enabled devices.

• Ingresso MIDI: Receives MIDI messages for parameter control, preset changes, and tempo synchronization.
• USCITA MIDI: Transmits MIDI messages, including MIDI clock and parameter changes.

2.5. Expression Pedal Input

Connect an expression pedal to the ESPERIENZA jack using a TRS (stereo) cable. This allows real-time control over various parameters, such as delay time, mix, or feedback, for dynamic performance.

3.3. Funzionalità Looper

The TimeLine includes a powerful 30-second stereo looper. It can be routed pre- or post-delay, allowing for creative layering and sound design.

• Registrazione: Premere REC/DUB (A) per iniziare la registrazione.
• Sovraincisione: Durante la riproduzione, premere REC/DUB (A) again to overdub.
• Riproduzione: Premere PLAY (B) per avviare o interrompere la riproduzione.
• Stop: Presa RUBINETTO footswitch to stop the looper.
• Annulla/Ripristina: Advanced looper functions are accessible via MultiSwitch or MIDI.

3.4. Salvataggio e richiamo dei preset

The TimeLine allows you to save and recall your custom delay settings. The pedal has 200 preset locations, organized into 100 banks (A and B per bank).

• Salvataggio: To save a preset, hold the TIPO knob until the display indicates "SAVE". Use the VALORE knob to select a preset location, then press VALORE per confermare.
• Ricordando: Utilizzare il BANCA GIÙ E BANCA SU footswitches (A and B when not in looper mode) to navigate through banks. Press the corresponding footswitch (A or B) to load the desired preset.

4. Manutenzione
