Create Ambient Guitar Drones with the Strymon Timeline Looper 

Has anyone ever used the looper in the Timeline in a similar way? Please comment and share your results!

Ohhh man the way that low note blended into the drone was just beautiful. That's how it's done right there.

Really clever stuff, Bill. Thanks!

Awesome video! Had no clue you could loop a drone...thank you again for inspiring me to play something new!

I really enjoy your videos. Informative & well laid out.

Yes, I set the Timeline settings as you outlined and created a really cool (seamless) drone! Worked really well. I can see how I can use this in my pieces. Thanks again, Bill

cool sound, thanks for sharing

Wow, Davos from Game of Thrones is a great guitar player!

The Chords of Orion are wonderful videos, Bill. I've bought a few pieces of gear because of them. Nice to see that "ambient" guitarist is now a recognized genre, as it should be. I love your inspiring music, and you are certainly responsible for bring some RU-vid respectability to the genre. Ha!. I remember having to modify old guitars and use multiple tape decks using the same tape while squeezing the sound through multiple old guitar pedals and a Space Echo to get my ambient guitar sounds. Though it was satisfying to get nice sounds with the effort, the wealth of ways available to create sound now is simply amazing and preferable as far as I'm concerned. Thanks!

Very helpful! Thank you for this. Looking forward to more advanced tips & tricks for the Timeline. Cheers!

This channel is dope! Thanks for sharing 👍

Hey this is a really cool usage of that looper! I didn't realize there was a loop exit mode and I've used the timeline quite a bit. Thanks so much for this!

Super helpful !

Wow... so very Blade Runner! Love it.

Thank you nice time .

Yeah, the ice setting - it almost feels like cheating it's so damn good!

Thanks so much Bill, this was a really helpful video. I fooled around with my Timeline's looper, but frankly, I didn't make much progress so I just kept using my other loopers. Thanks for unraveling the mysteries of: 1) putting the looper after the delay (which is contrary to what you usually do, based upon another tutorial), 2) the "blank loop" technique, 3) the other Global setting to let you keep playing while the loop is running (with a different delay engine!). Not to mention that cool pre-set you're using. Tomorrow I'll be on this one. BTW: I have had limited success with my El Cap looper also. Frankly, I haven't given it a real chance, but if ever you run out of ideas for tutorials, (&!%?), a similar lesson on the El Cap would be fantastic.

This pedal is the next thing on my shopping list!

In this video how do you turn the looper off after you finish . In a live setting . Love your videos! Thank you !

Ser Davos Seaworth is my favorite ambient guitar teacher

This is fantastic, I also watched your video on chords which was also exultant. Do you play Bass? I would love to see some information on creating Ambient bass. Thanks you

Boy I really try the linec6 pod X3 was the flag ship now can get for a couple hundred and you'll be surprised what's inside. I've wanted a Stryman timeline because of the ice sound

Really love the sound of this! I didn't realize that the Strymon Timeline could function as a looper...all the more reason to purchase one:)!

Really nice sound! Nice videos. I don't really understand when you loop the silence part. It is not the same if you record the same sound twice? I try to do the same effect (more simply of course) with my Ditto x2 + Reverb M300 + Delay Carbon Copy. Thanks

Very nice Frippertronic-like sound. I guess to get this sound it‘s essential NOT to use any quitar amp, because of its limited frequency spectrum, right?

Hi Bill. Thanks for your video! I just purchased the DD 500 from Boss. I don't master it very well yet. Do you think it's possible to do the same with? Greetings from France.

I would love the timeline but its soooo expensive

Nice video. I was wondering what kind of power source you use to power your effects chain.

Hey Bill, forgetting about the looper, do you prefere this pedal or the strymon DIG?

Dr Bill, I keep buying pedals but can’t be bothered to turn them on I think I’m frightened of all the twiddling and settings required. Just keep playing acoustics.. any advice thanks ?

Lord of Illusion

Is it better to use a time line like ms or bpm?

Why did you do an empty loop rather than just recording the drones on their own?

if you must choose between Timeline and DIG which one will you choose

whats with the head shaking

Yea the 300$ pedal lol

so irritating
