nice share johnny... the nd-1 will definitely free up some real estate on your board but with regard to tonality and usage, you're going to have to figure that one for yourself...

though, i also use the nd-1... thanks again for the article!

no sweat, man.

yeah, i was wondering about tone through the nd-1. see the videos on youtube. consensus seems to be that it's so useful but the tone is so cold and polished daw. on my end, regarding the SMMH, the bummer is the noticable volume drop, which i'm willing to over-look because of the "musicality" of the other features. i keep tinkering with it and still stumble upon some new sounds. i haven't even explored looping the signal yet.

i can see though how this can piss some musician's off in terms of the volume drop and it's lay-out of the functions. for someone who's into making sounds/noise though, this would be a good addition. also great for people like me who just play for fun and can't afford a eventide time factor. he he

I agree with the signal going through the ND-1 sounding too polished. It's probably due to the post-processing buffering but I'm not sure. I still like what I hear though

lol... the eventide actually is good... and yes, the affordability can be a bummer... though, i agree with sir ian and your comment that the nd-1 does sound too polished... i also play for fun... and i like what i hear with the nd-1 as well...

but as the article says, choose what works for you...

all 3 pedals are good...

I've owned the ND-1 and the Timefactor. Timefactor pa rin ako. Lalo na kung may footswitch.

Problems with the ND-1:
1. If the switch breaks, goodbye because it's not a switch you can buy anywhere.
2. Hard to switch presets.
3. 9 presets?
4. Need I say more?

sali na rin natin kaya dito yung line 6 DL4? yung price range niya sa classifieds would be around the neighborhood of a SMMH and an ND-1.

anyone care to weigh in on this? i remember that it has a looper, when i tried it a while back.

Good point about the switch. I guess I should treat my ND-1 with more care from now on
