I've got the Time machine and have heard something things from the Big Briar. I don't think it's really accurate to compare times and prices since IMO they are very different sounding machines as well as having very different construction. The Big Briar unit is a standalone wooden cased monster with 1/4" jacks, the Time Machine is a great solid 1/8" modular synth module. Both offer various CV ins and such but I think they do slightly different things. at the longer delay times the TM has a *very* low resolution. Cool effect but don't expect this to be usable in ever application. You are not getting a Digital 2 sec delay here, at times you might not even be able to hear it depending on the other settings and your source. That said I decided to buy the Time Machine not only because of cost but because I wanted a 1/8" module to use with my other modular synth stuff. I like what it does (hell I like all of John's designs!) I put up a 4 minute rough demo fo the Time Machine here for anyone interested in what it can do: http://legion.retrosynth.com/timem.mp3 This is simply a loop taken from a Doepfer A112 lofi sampler module run into the time machine with real time tweaking. The hiss/hum is NOT from the Time Machine. It is consistently in there and was a buzz added by my mixer and/or sound card. My bad but at least you can hear the wackiness of the TM and see what it can do. The TM itself is rather quiet IMO. > Now if only the Time Machine came in one of those cute little floor > pedals! Well it does have five CV in's. Buy any CV floor pedal you wish and go nuts controlling the Blacet with your feet. ____________________________________________________________________ HELP WANTED PRODUCTIONS - Http://www.voicenet.com/~legion "Bringing you the best in Organic Electronic music since we started..."
