I'm dialing knobs right now trying to get close.

Dual Delay or Stereo Mind Guy will get you there. Attach an expression pedal to the Mix for control.

funny how the marketing is these days - got 5-10 new vids on my subscribed youtube feeds, all around the same time this morning, for demos of this pedal.

Brings nothing that our Fractal devices can't do.
But if I was still using a traditional rig, I'd probably give it a try. Sounds musical and easy controls.

I can't get it to sit in the mix or background quite like I'm hearing it. Any expert advice is appreciated.

Dual delay i think is in parallel.. The stereo mind guy will get you there if put 2 in series.. Not many pedals do that...personally i d buy a boss dd500 which used can be find at a very good price..

For starters, try channel B of the attached block. Increase Master Feedback to 150% (and decrease ducking if desired).

Such an underrated pedal.

Fast forward 6 months and he is still rocking a Timeline on his gigging board.

his delays are not in series?

Glad to see I'm not the only one who saw these demos and thought "how can I make my Fractal do that?"

Just added this to my AT-style preset and it's shockingly close to his Electric Truth tone.

Care to share that preset?

Care to share that preset?

I can, but it uses a 3rd party IR and a physical Boss BD-2 in the loop. I basically stole Andy’s settings from his recent videos and added Yek’s block.

Currently trying to find a substitute factory IR and dialing it in.

Andy Timmons just had a clinic here at the Guitar Sanctuary in McKinney, showcasing the pedal. It sounded great - Andy Timmons was ripping - I had a chance to meet and talk to Andy and Robert Keely as well - cool dudes.

I talk to Keely briefly about the DSP selection and some of the things their doing in the pedal - so yeah dual delays- looks like it’s a series delay 1/4 into dotted 1/8 with compression (which if I understood correctly the amount of compression is controlled by the saturation knob), a high pass and tilt eq all on the feedback loop- seems like there’s a third LFO modulating the phase of the two main LFOs with a custom shape- I asked about diffusion but seems like there is no diffusion applied to the repeats so not sure how exactly they get that reverby sound.

I obtained a Halo pedal and decided to head down the rabbit hole (especially as my "guitarist's elbow" has afforded me unwanted free time).

So here is my attempt at recreating the sound of Andy's Halo preset (the first preset on the pedal, unchanged from factory settings) using the MTD block. I initially had tried some diffusion, but this only hampered my efforts. So after adjustments to feedback, level, chorus, and EQ, I think I'm pretty close (though I'll bet others much smarter than I like @Admin M@ or @2112 or many others could improve upon this).

To begin with, the timing and intensity of repeats. The first 3 are the Halo, the last 3 the multidelay (all 6 are the same single muted scratch looped for consistency). I should mention the Halo is hooked up in stereo via Out3/In3, right next to the MTD block in my preset. I'm using (Andy-like) a compressor block with little compression but some boosting, into the Lonestar model clean channel, and a YA Mesa 2x12 IR. No reverb, of course.



And now a looped chord stab (again first 3 are Halo; last 3 Axe-FX)



Finally the same deal with a single looped staccato note
