This Week’s Preset: TimeLine – “Stranger” from Boy & Bear

Remember our Pedalboard Feature a few months back with Killian Gavin, guitarist for Boy & Bear?  This Week’s Preset comes straight from Killian, who shares with us the TimeLine presets he used for Boy & Bear’s song “Stranger.”

TimeLine Preset “Double”

When recording “Stranger,” I used two different settings.

1.) The basic delay sound I used for the song’s guitar tracks was a simple Double Delay, in series to two amps. I often use two delays to give a bit more spread/width in my sound.  Playing live, I’ve found the Dual delay on the TimeLine really handy to achieve this.

Dual – delay time is roughly 540ms. I tap it in live.
Time 2 – 1/2
Repeats – Track
Mix 2 – Track
Highpass – Off
Config – Series
Tap – Qtr

“Double” is the name I gave it.

TimeLine Preset “Synth”

2.) The second setting on this song I created was a synth-like sound. You hear it on the guitar melody line in the chorus. Really cool sound. The only extra thing to note is I used a Strymon Ola Vibrato in front of the TimeLine to add swirl and modulation — fast speed, medium mix.

Ice – 200ms
Interval – Oct.5th
Slice – Medium
Blend – Dead middle of the range | || |
Smear – Fully smeared |||| |||| |||| ||||
Highpass – Off
Tap – Qtr
