The Time Shadows II is a seriously creative delay pedal, born from a collaboration between EarthQuaker and Death by Audio. It’s not your standard slap-back echo; the '¡' mode alone is worth the price of admission for experimental soundscapes. If you’re a guitarist or bassist looking to push the boundaries of delay and create truly unique textures, this is a fantastic tool.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Expression Control is user-assignable to either the Time or Filter parameter, giving you real-time modulation over those aspects of the delay.
It's definitely a unique blend – the fuzz is integral to the delay's character, creating swirling, distorted repeats, but it's surprisingly versatile for adding atmosphere and texture.
You can store and recall six distinct delay configurations. The Save/Recall switch changes color to indicate the active mode (Live or Preset) making it easy to navigate during gigs.
