Strymon Launches Midnight-Finished DIG, Mobius, BlueSky, TimeLine
March 5, 2022 · 3 sources
Strymon makes two large-format multi-effect pedals: the Mobius, a multi-modulation pedal with twelve modulation machines, and the TimeLine, a delay pedal with twelve delay machines12. The Mobius runs digital processing with a premium analog front end and output section, and the TimeLine packs its delay machines into a compact pedal form with true bypass relay switching and a selectable analog buffered bypass mode12. Both product pages carry the full specifications for each circuit12.
The Mobius modulation pedal
The Mobius is a multi-modulation pedal. Strymon describes it as giving players "twelve legendary, versatile, and inspirational modulation machines, all in an easy-to-use package"1.
"twelve legendary, versatile, and inspirational modulation machines, all in an easy-to-use package"
The twelve machines and what each one covers:
| Machine | Modes and options |
|---|---|
| Chorus | Five modes: dBucket, Multi, Vibrato, Digital, Detune |
| Flanger | Six modes covering the historic catalog of flanging tones |
| Rotary | Captures the sonic swirling complexities of a variable horn and drum rotary speaker |
| Vibe | Control over waveshape symmetry, low end response, and headroom |
| Phaser | 2, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 16 stage options |
| Filter | Low Pass, Wah, and High Pass modes |
| Vintage Trem | Harmonic, Tube, and Photo tremolo |
It runs 200 nameable presets, stereo input and output, True Bypass relay switching with a selectable Analog Buffered Bypass, and a Pre/Post Mode that lets the pedal sit in two different places in a mono signal chain. Power is 9V DC center negative at a minimum of 300mA, with the supply not included, and the pedal was designed and built in the USA. Its list price was $449.001.
The TimeLine delay
The TimeLine is a delay pedal with twelve delay machines2. Among them:
| Machine | What it does |
|---|---|
| Digital Delay | Tweakable with Filter, Grit, Smear, High Pass, and Modulation controls |
| Dual Delay | Two independent delay lines in series or parallel |
| Pattern Delay | Multi-tap patterns from rhythmic to ambient to percussive |
| Reverse Delay | Playing triggers predictable reverse repeats |
| Ice Delay | Slices the input and plays it back with a selectable Interval shift from an octave down to two octaves up |
| Duck Delay | Adjustable Sensitivity and Release Time |
Neither pedal runs on a battery or a typical low-current daisy chain output: both the Mobius and the TimeLine need 9V DC center negative at a minimum of 300mA, and the power supply is not included12.

Connecting to a computer
One thing the announcement did not change: none of these pedals gained a USB port. Mobius, TimeLine, and BigSky "do not, and will need to connect via a MIDI interface" for computer connection, such as to Strymon's Nixie 2 software3.
