Ok, that's some information to talk about, much more than your original post:
"0$ vs 440$

incredible stuff"
Nobody's forced to use the Timeline, Mobius, Big Sky or other Strymon-effects, but they seem to be very popular and many guitar-players love them. I like the Timeline and Mobius and like I said I'm more into the low-fi-stuff they offer. For my ears both pedals make great effects, I like and use them all the time. I don't care about any technical issues as long it sounds great for me. Of course some of the KPA-effects aren't bad, too, just different.
I never used the Timeline-looper because I have a separate pedal for that (TC), so I can't say much about it.
