Tony, they get a lot of love - especially the Timefactor and the pitchfactor.

I understand that one of the downsides of the Modfactor is that you can only have one of those glorious effects running at and one time.

I used to have a Tone Factor, owned it for maybe 2-3 weeks. Times were hard, so i sold it. To be honest, in hindsight, i never used it. My Line M9, which i've toyed with parting with more times than i care to remember also beats it for sheer versatility and the comparison between the sounds is quite minimal.

I cannot comment on the sound quality because I never tried it extensively but I repaired two of them (Mod Factor and Time Factor) and the quality of the construction is excellent. One of the best I have seen.

If the sound quality is anything like that of an Eventide UltraHarmonizer then its absolutely top dawer....

I still get weak at the knees with GAS for one of them :wub:

I have all three - the Time factor, Mod factor and the Pitch Factor. Everything they say in the blub is true plus you can save 100 of your own patches in each of them. Sound quality wise, they are simply the best (and I've owned the rest!), but for most live bass playing applications, certainly using cabs with no tweeter or HF horn, they are probably over specified. Everything from very usable sounds to insane madness is possible, easily programable via all the knobs.
