An unprecedented gift to TimeFactor users, Dave Kilminster, lead guitarist for Roger Water's The Wall, and previously Dark Side of the Moon Live, has generously provided Eventide with the presets from Roger Water's The Wall Live which are now included in new TimeFactor units and free for current users.

Also, the best-selling Space stompbox now includes the Freeze function which allows users to freeze the reverb and continue to play on top of infinitely sustained reverb. Also included in this comprehensive upgrade are additional new sounds and system enhancements for ModFactor and PitchFactor as well.

All updates are free to existing users and will be included in new units shipped from Eventide.
