Strymon's TimeLine MX packs 12 engines, dual-routing modes, a five-minute stereo looper and full MIDI into a stage-ready delay pedal.
Strymon has launched the TimeLine MX, the follow-up to its flagship delay pedal, with 12 engines, dual-engine routing and a five-minute stereo looper.

Eleven of those engines are delay machines, including new Oil Can, Spectral, Drum and MultiTap algorithms, alongside updated versions of the classic TimeLine sounds. The twelfth is a reverb, making the TimeLine MX a delay-plus-reverb pedal without needing anything else on the board. Both engines run simultaneously, routable in Series, Parallel or Split, and panned independently.
The Digital engine breaks into four distinct voicings: 24/96 for clean modern delay, ADM for snappy early-80s character, 12 Bit for darker and warmer repeats, and Classic, which recreates the sound of the original TimeLine pedal.
The integrated five-minute stereo looper includes a 1 Button Mode that stays active without switching to a dedicated looper mode, making it easier to build layers mid-performance. It sits before or after the delay engines, and MIDI access to reverse, redo and half speed doesn’t require entering looper mode.
On the signal path, a JFET input preamp and an analog dry path keep the dry signal out of digital conversion entirely. Stereo I/O with a hardware insert covers stereo effects loops, wet/dry and wet/dry/wet setups. MIDI runs via USB-C, TRS or DIN, with Nixie 2 editor support on the way. The EXP input takes expression pedals, MultiSwitch and MultiSwitch Plus, and also handles TRS MIDI. True bypass uses relay switching, with buffered bypass selectable.
For anyone running the original TimeLine, dual-engine routing and the 1 Button Looper are the biggest changes – the MX gives you a lot more to work with across the board.
