LITTLE FERRY, NJ, MARCH 19, 2008 — Peter Thorn is one of the world’s most in-demand guitarists, having worked in the studio and toured with the likes of Chris Cornell, Alicia Keys, Brian Ray, Ben Jelen, and many others. He is currently using Eventide’s new effects pedal, TimeFactor, in the studio and will be incorporating it into his touring rig, as well. Eventide, the foremost provider of studio quality effects for more than 37 years, has brought that knowledge to bear on TimeFactor, providing guitarists with a flexible performance tool, delivering studio quality effects in a sturdy, compact package.

The versatility of the Eventide TimeFactor, with numerous presets and the ability to access so many great sounds so easily, provides Thorn with a powerful musical resource.

Also, the tape and analog delays sound awesome and the switchable input and output levels are great, making it possible to use in so many different applications.”
