The Crazy Tube Circuits TI:ME is a digital delay pedal based on the late 1970s MXR 113 Digital Delay, a rack unit used by players including David Gilmour. Delay time ranges from 130ms to 720ms with an analog dry signal path and digital wet path for warm repeats. Features two footswitches (Bypass and Tap Tempo) with bright white LEDs, a subdivisions toggle for quarter, dotted-eighth, or triplet timing, and an internal switch for true bypass or buffered bypass with trails.
