All user reviews for the TC Electronic Flashback Delay

Delay is quite possibly the most universal effect for guitarists used in different forms across all genres. When it came time to build my pedalboard I knew I had to have a delay pedal on there. I had become accustom to having multiple types of delays from my multi-effects devices I had owned. I knew I wanted to have plenty of options, but I wanted to keep it simple and small. The Flashback Delay by TC Electronic embodied everything I was looking for. The mini version was not available when I bought my delay, but I would not have gone for it since it was limited in its application. The X4 version was too large for my board, but it was tempting.

Line 6 offers some very nice delays that sound fantastic, but I don’t trust the build quality of the housings and switches of their effects. I didn’t want to buy the DL4, then spend the money to get it modified with better switches. Strymon builds very nice pedals, but the Brigadier and El Capistan were not the type of delays I was looking for and the Timeline seemed like over kill. The Timeline I believe works best in a rig that has midi control, and that was not the type of board I was building at the time.

The Flashback was the right size with the right type of delays. There is a wide range of delay types that are available in this small pedal, and they all sound very good. I use the mod, analog, slapback, and TonePrint, throughout my bands set. The TonePrint feature is an amazing addition that expands the capabilities of the pedal. There are four knobs to control- delay, feedback, FX level, and type. There is also a mini-switch that allows choosing between quarter note, dotted quarter note, and a combination of both, for use as the repeats of the delay.

It does not have a tap tempo in the traditional sense, instead it has audio tapping. It works by turning on the pedal and holding down the footswitch for about two seconds until the LED turns off. Strum the quarter notes, then release the switch and you are in tempo. A brilliant answer to keeping the pedal small and still having tap tempo. The looper function is good, but without the extra switches of the X2 I find I only use the looper at home and not at gigs.

There is a slight hum to the pedal, I believe this has to do with the fact I have it on buffered bypass. There is a dip switch on the inside of the pedal that allows you to switch between true and buffered bypass. It is the last pedal in my chain, and it is a good idea to have that pedal be buffered. I also like that the delays continue after I hit the footswitch to turn the pedal off, which sounds so much more natural than the hard stop of true bypass.

The TonePrints are so well crafted that I would prefer to have more slots for them on the type selector knob. Just like my Hall of Fame pedal, the Flashback eats batteries as a snack. I believe the processing power of the pedal, and all its capabilities is the reason for how fast it goes through batteries. I am not complaining about it, because I love what the pedal can do, it just is a fact of its operation that you need to plug it in.

The Flashback is a great and versatile pedal. A very good addition to any pedalboard with its small size. If you only use one type of delay, then the mini version may be the one you choose. If your delay use is more extensive, and you use a looper, then check out the X4. For my purposes the standard model works best with plenty of flexibility, and only requires a little bit of on-the-fly knob turning to keep up with my needs at a gig.

type of effect? : Delay of any kind
editable? Yes TonePrint via pc / mac non rackable
technology? : Digital rather in my opinion

UTILIZATION

configuration: yes very simple one turns one tests it sounds
manual? zero need
edition? : Easy

SOUND QUALITY

effective? frankly yes but more on the stereo
instrument? : EMM JP60 / jpmp3 jem dna etc ....
I would rather? the tone print clearly
I like least? the delay has black ^^

OVERALL OPINION

use? January 2014
the other model? yes de7 Ibanez finally DigiDelay dung what ^^ +

what I like most of all is the TonePrint via my phone, it's still frankly past practice via the small hp phone to instantly changed her, I am currently on "moutain top" petrucci and the stereo it works very very hard.

no need for past 100 years on the pc TonePrint editor with the pedal usb, not that I do not wish to stand out above all with the amount of available preset on the phone are frankly what to do, all c is well update the firmware of each pedal and after ca tranqiullement oats as it should.

once that was the crease and stereo is simply DE-MEN-TIELLE


a part of it!

digital delay and a looper.
several modes delays, a looper, a TonePrint to load on TC.

UTILIZATION

simple to use, you turn the knobs, you play
manual, are not you in the box, that is to say

SOUND QUALITY

and what is the title track commentary.
the cat among the pigeons.
I am terribly disappointed, and I expect the wonders of this pedal.
let me explain;
I have a Strymon Timeline has concerns and is left for service Strymon. (yes, really)
ok worth € 420, I understand the difference.
but pending the A / R united states-France, I took out an old Ibanez DE7 worth 40 € Cygnus.
I often play live, so I freaked out a little before the date.
but at the first sound, which foot!
I'm just missing a few régalé.il reperes tempo and time signature
short ... because the repair time is 4 weeks, I grabbed the flashback telling me, you will manage the sound and tempos easily.

well, yes, stir ... (and it offends me to score, I was hooked before receiving it)
I find cold and very blah delays.
Also, I do not see why there is so many ways, apart from the reverse and 2290, I find that dyn, tape, ana are very close and unnecessary blow.

then this system tap tempo is great on paper, set live, forget ..
if it is you who starts the song, you have to press the pedal, you expect to be transferred (1 or 2 seconds is a long time) then 4 times to sign the tempo.
blah blah, but it has the merit to exist and have a compact pedal that does the job.

and then the looper is nuuuul!
I have in my set the ditto which is placed after the sound is better defined, more flexible switch.
there, it's hard as hell, not very practical. Ok, it has the merit to exist, too.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a week, but I look forward to my timeline.

this is against true that it's not very expensive, so for € 135, it will.


me, it does not suit me, I'm disappointed.

Refer to the TC Electronic website for details.

UTILIZATION

This pedal is fairly compact, the case seems strong, the only problem with the compactness is that the location to set foot without touching the knobs is quite small.

The settings are classics:
* Fx level (level adjustment effect),
* Delay (time between each repetition)
* Feedback (number of repetition).
* Mode Selector
The selector allows different types of effect, delay classical, inverse, mod, ping pong, ANA, 2290 ...

SOUND QUALITY

Pedal fairly simple to use. One branch, choose the mode, and the dose level of the effect and the duration of the echo and repetition time.

I use it before the amp, I wanted something transparent, which does not degrade the sound mode in 2290 is top!

Those who do not like too duties may fall back on the ANA mode that emulates a slightly warmer response time vintage analog style.

Mode loop 40 s max is also present on the occasion very useful!

OVERALL OPINION

more:

* The sound quality really transparent (if desired)

* The quality of manufacturing, very durable case,

* The correct price.

Cons:

* The somewhat compact body

Used for almost a year, I recommend this delay enthusiasts are transparent, or those who want sth a little warmer (ANA Mode)

OVERALL OPINION

I bought this pedal a little random chance, trusting this brand as well as different opinions found on the internet (I was expecting to find a DD7 boss at the base).

so it's a delay pedal, designed for guitarists, but I use it as an effect send / return with my mixer (electronic music so).

Basic presets are quite interesting and complementary, but the real big advantage is that you can customize the effect itself via an editor.
when I bought it I did not know that was possible on the gear that price, and I must say that the editor lets go far enough ... there's a bunch of programmable parameters is not just a harmless option.

to get the parameters available, here is a screenshot of the app:
https://i.imgur.com/5yh3fyv.jpg

there are a total of four knobs:
-Delay
-Feedback
Fx-level
-Choice of preset

only the first two are customizable, but against three pieces of information you can give to those the change.
it may seem small, but in practice if you like a little tweaking it becomes quite complex and it is possible to actually create a unique effect.

modifiable characteristics are each connected to a line graph divided into five points.
for example, you can decide when a knob is left in the delay time is 980ms, it is in the middle 6000ms and it is all right to 72ms ... so basically turning completely from left to right and increases down time.

so we can make "zig zag" modulation by turning in one direction, which is very interesting from my point of view, especially when one takes into account three parameters are assignable knob, each with its own specific curve.

creating a smart TonePrints it is possible to have a sort of hybrid effect in the desired position, and go even beyond the modulation by setting the second potentiometer values ​​/ right choice.
it does not look necessarily at first but it can be quite complicated combinations in practice ...

I do not know if this is very clear, but in summary I would not have thought I could change so radically the sound just by turning two knobs.

my experience is that of someone who does electronics for a guitar I think the interest is less but this pedal remains excellent and very likely higher than the DD7 boss ...

in any case more "unique" because everyone can design their stuff very accurately by leaning a little above.

that's basically, I use it for a month and a half and I am very satisfied!

the price is down almost saw the possibilities of customization, it is not excluded that I take a second if the opportunity presents itself (or a "hall of fame" also programmable reverb)

more:
- High sound quality.
- To create its own effect (the real big interest for me).
- Price.
- Quality workmanship.

Cons:
- One place to charge his personal effects, shame!
- It is not possible at the moment to export its settings ... which means any note on a sheet (+ screenshot) if you do not want to "lose" your values ​​by creating another TonePrint ... (The black spot for me).

So I put him 8/10, I think it is hard to beat in this range ...

Digital delay.
See other reviews for the characteristics.

UTILIZATION

Manual clear, very simple and intuitive use.

SOUND QUALITY

Realistic effects. I plug guitar, deadlines are of excellent quality. The report is not all digital, and there's something for everyone, given the number of different delays proposed.

OVERALL OPINION

Used for a year. I owned before analog delays and I did not find what I wanted. With this pedal I! Transparent, excellent sound (I still almost all the time on 2290). The value for money is unbeatable!
If she farts tomorrow, I bought another one!

***

UTILIZATION

Too bad we can not edit the sounds from a computer ...
No possibility to save presets personal.
If not the system is very nice tone print.
It would not hurt to have a sound example for each tone print?
Too bad there is only one slot for charging a toneprint

SOUND QUALITY

effects are very good
used with a guitar and a bass

OVERALL OPINION

used for a week
I tested two EHX # 1 Echo and Stereo Memory Man hazarai (well but did not fit my needs)

I think I would do without hesitation the same choice

This is a killer delay by TC Electronic. It has this cool feature called tone print, which allows you to get pre set delays made by many guitarists out there and put them on this pedal. It works really well for doing this and is very simple to put the tone print on the pedal. The pedal it self is the best sounding delay I've ever used. It has 8 different types of delay and they all sound great. It is a compact pedal and has a mini toggle switch to choose between quarter notes, dotted 8th and 16th notes.

UTILIZATION

Using this pedal is super simple. The tone print feature is so easy to use and works perfectly every time. IT comes with a usb cable to hook up to your computer and pedal. You can leave all your knobs at noon and choose any delay type and it will work and sound great. Not much tweaking needed unless you are going for a specific delay type.

SOUND QUALITY

I use the analog and tape delay. It is the best tape delay I've ever heard. I run this pedal through my FX Loop and it just sounds awesome. THe crisp and clear delays sound amazing through my overdriven amp. The analog delay mixes well with my overdrives and really as a very smooth feel to it. I have recored with this pedal and it comes through a Shure SM57 perfectly. Sounds Great!

OVERALL OPINION

I love how easy this pedal is to use. I am able to get much better delays out of this pedal than I have before. Usually I struggle with getting good delay sounds with other pedals but this one it is just easy to do without and headaches. I think the price of this pedal is awesome for what you are getting. TC always makes great quality products and it holds true with this pedal. I plan to get more TC electronic pedals in the future!

Spillover on/off switch gives you super-smooth and natural transitions between sounds

UTILIZATION

Let me say, I am a big fan of the tone print series. This was a great idea. Put rack style tone in a pedal format. They are very accessible to guys who detest menus. I'm not a menu hater, for the record. But it sure is nice to have a pedal like this where everything is really a knob away. In fact, I think in terms of knob layout and control setup, this might be the best delay on the market next to some of the boss stuff. Unfortunately the boss delays don't have great tone. The stereo option is great even though I'm not an avid stereo user. The manual is great. TC has that whole manual thing covered.

My only HUGE problem is that this should have midi. It needs it bad. This pedal would be so much more usable to me with midi. I cannot stress this enough. I want to use mine with a midi controller in a rack setup, but alas, TC is stupid.

SOUND QUALITY

Here's where this pedal gets the high marks. I think in terms of pedal delays, at least digital ones, this is the best thing next to the eventide timefactor. The timefactor of course costs a huge amount. This one is significantly less and it a way better value in my opinion. It's a great studio performer. Pretty darn good live too. The tape is by far my favorite mode. The looper is also pretty ridiculous though. It's actually insane how many usable modes the flashback has. I cannot really say in words how organic and natural this unit sounds. Try it. Please.

OVERALL OPINION

The value on these is what makes them incredible. It's not the best or most function delay. But for the price I really like the feedback. It has so many features that the pedal should probably explode. There's gotta be a good brain in there. The midi thing I guess I can get over. Wish TC would make a bigger version with midi. It would wow me senseless. Try one of these. I bet you will buy it. That's all I can say.

We are dealing here with a delay pedal very complete with lots of different delay, I invite you to read the manual for the beast that explains it all well.

It has the 4 knobs that are the usual level, feedback, delay time and the choice of the delay on which we will have to spend time considering the number of delay that is not counting the tone print.

For original elements, there is easy access to the battery as might already be on the PolyTune the same brand and two dipswitches that allow a kill or not dry and is a true bypass is a buffered bypass.
He also built a looper but I do not use it because the pedal is in my drawer rack.

UTILIZATION

Usage is very simple and it is very intuitive. All knobs react well, we can find a good and it's very easy to test full-tone print and change.

SOUND QUALITY

The sound is great. I personally preferred the analog delay for its quality of sound and its repetition but all other delay can be exploited to give free rein to your imagination.

The tone print artists are really great, I, for once, chose to print a tone Syu is an analog delay with more gain and less discoloration of sound in rehearsals.

OVERALL OPINION

Ultimately, tc electronic off a major coup with this pedal as with its full range tone print. Find sounds racks tc pedal format at an affordable price with all options I say yes.

Far ahead of the boss and other mxr, this choice I would do without hesitation.

The TC Electronic Flashback is a great little delay unit from TC Electronic that offers the versatility of many much larger and more expensive units in a small, easy to use, and affordable package. There are various different types of delays ranging from the famed TC 2290, through to analog, tape, lo-fi, modulated, slapback, stereo and even reverse delays. It also has a wonderful looper that allows for up to 40 seconds - great for rehearsing ideas quickly. It's a pretty simple delay as far as the controls go, just standard time, feedback and level controls plus a switch to go between quarter notes, eighth notes or dotted eighth notes. It also has a stereo output to go to separate amps to make best use of some of the thicker sounding delays too. It's housed in a pretty small box with a convenient thumbscrew to get to the battery.

UTILIZATION

Setting up this pedal for use is pretty easy for sure. It reacts like the other delays that I've owned and other than getting used to the different modes that the pedal offers, it is pretty easy to use. The controls react well and the pedal's not too extreme as far the taper of the controls. It can get some nice oscillating repeats if you set it up with the controls turned up high which is cool. I was able to figure most of it out by trial and error without even reading the manual. It basically takes the standard delay controls and mates them with different mode selections for different tones and styles.

SOUND QUALITY

This delay pedal is pretty good sounding overall. TC Electronic is known for their high quality, pristine delays and this pedal definitely carries that lineage. My main concern with it is that it's a bit dark sounding and can get a little bit lost in the mix with distorted tones. I found myself using the 2290 mode for more pristine tones, and the tape delay mode for my leads. I did like the slapback mode for country type sounds, and the looper proved quite useful when I was just working on riffs for my bands. Of course, with this flexibility comes the inevitable price... I find that it doesn't really have the GREATEST tone like a delay that specializes in one type of sound, but if you're looking for a whole gauntlet of delays in one easy to use package, it's definitely cool.

OVERALL OPINION

All in all I think that the TC Flashback is a cool little delay for someone looking for a great set of delay tones in a convenient package. It sells new for about $180 which is really a killer deal considering the quality and features. I ultimately found that I preferred the sound of a truer tape echo, and have since sold mine to fund a Strymon El Capistan which is one of the greatest tape echo simulators on the market. If you need one or two great tones, I would look into something different, but if you need an "all in one" you can't get much better than this TC Flashback.

UTILIZATION

This pedal is very deep, but is easy to jump right into. It can take a while to find "your tone", but I assure you, if delay is a part of that tone, it is in this box somewhere.

The special features of this box make it magical. 6 seconds of delay is more than nearly anyone needs. Stereo ins and outs are very handy. "Audio Tapping" is not quite as easy to use as a Tap Tempo function, but it works just the same! The looper is by far the best looper in this price class, with up to 40 seconds time available.

The TonePrint USB function is great in that one can download patches directly from TC and put them on the pedal. Most of the patches are designed by famous artists!

And the fact that the pedal can be switched from True Bypass to Buffered signal is invaluable!

SOUND QUALITY

I honestly don't think there is a better digital delay pedal out there. It is very convincing on the analog tones, although I can hear a bit of difference, and the digital tones are spot on. The ducking delay sound is really nice, as is the tape-delay - very lush sounds abound in this unit. This pedal sounds great directly into the amp, or in the effects loop.

OVERALL OPINION

I love how feature-packed this box is, but how intuitive it is as well. The sounds are spot on for a digital unit. The buffer/true bypass switch is the best pedal innovation of all time.

My one wish for this pedal is that a delay could run with the looper. Maybe if there was a TonePrint model that had a looper with 38 seconds and a couple of seconds of delay available - that would be a nice feature. I'll rate it a 9 because I wish for that feature, but it should be a 9.9, really!

Colleagues have already described its features.

The pedal is quality, finishing as only the footswitch seems to me a fair bit of time (in years). Too bad there's no control for external tap tempo. I would have liked a set of modulation on the front.

Rating: 8. Nothing to complain really.

UTILIZATION

Easy to use, effective adjustments. This is in 4 words to remember this. My only regret comes from the looper mode and especially the volume control that affects and the looper and the dry.

Setting the tempo already mentioned works, on the other hand hard to do right in the song.

Loading a TonePrint is childish.

Rating: 9. Perfect score if the volume control mode only affected the looper loop.

SOUND QUALITY

Not being a big fan of time, I was amazed! The effects are all good, no throwing. I have a preference for the 2290 mode, the analog delay and lofi.

With little feedback and a short time, the mode mod creates a nice little extra chorus.

RAS on the looper, except the volume control listed above.

TonePrint function seems a little gadget, but a bunch appeared and some really pretty. Following a discussion I had with the product manager TC on another forum, they created a TonePrint TriChorus which is based on the way mod, but with the modulation settings instead of delay and feedback. It was a really good chorus.

In short, this little pedal is a Swiss Army knife of sound.

I tested the two methods of bypass, true bypass or buffered, I did not hear any difference, the buffer seems really good.

Rating: 10. Yes, it's a lot, but there are only good in it, or even very good.

OVERALL OPINION

I originally bought the Flashback to the looper and the possibility of making an extra chorus, and possibly a small delay at times. In the end, allowed me to love Flashback time, a task that even Axe FX has failed to do.

Final score: 9.

- A knob 9 kinds of Loop Delay + 1 Tone + Print (exclusive TC Electronic)
- A knob Feedback
- A knob Delay (up to 7000 ms)
- A knob FX Level
- A 3-position switch to select the divisions

See manufacturers specifications (downloadable Manual in French)

Toneprint function is an area of ​​"memory" that allows to download a sound of a "guitar hero" TC and shaped by several musicians ... While surfing their site we see that the refinement of its tailor-made full use of additional parameters ... Unfortunately, to date, impossible to have a software programming finesse of this pedal ... it's a shame. The pedals are all new ... TC thinks hope one day to offer this software so that anyone can program his son ...

Supplied without transformer

UTILIZATION

The grip is simplistic. Selecting a type of delay and adjusted the 3 parameters. It is immediate and simple. BUT! Given the number of Delay really different, the extent of delay, the proportion of feedback and level of effect that really give a "multitude" of sounds or conventional, well "crossed to the west."

There is a tap tempo included ... Must be pressed 2 seconds and then hold the single switch and make the tempo on the guitar ... It's clever, but not too practical ... Example ... impossible to settle it in full song if we were wrong ... The choice of TC was making a compact pedal with only one switch ... with practice it will come ...

Good writing hot after a night of testing ... But the division rhythm selector + tap tempo is not very clear to me ... the manual is complete but succinct on the subject.

SOUND QUALITY

But what sounds! The 9 Types of Delay correctly and simply presented in the manual can really huge sonic palette ... Full Digital Delay (as The Edge of U2) clean, crystalline, air to Tape Echo warm and diffuse ... each "program" brings a personality ... Reverse Delay mode is really beautiful and very strange ...

Me playing with an acoustic guitar + microphone rose: I can create layers of sound rather strange ... while allowing me to play the natural sound of the guitar ... all thanks to the FX knob level that can mix the level of the effect ...

At the risk of repeating myself in view of the opinion ... I like the pedals "unique" because we play in real time with the sound by turning a few knobs ... it actually allows to go away in a sound, without programming at all, without editing menus as x on the crank. for a Delay pedal is essential to explore the settings to find a sound, an atmosphere ... Here I also regret that the USB does not allow (yet?) To save the sounds you love on a computer ... But hey, for 145 € is perhaps not too much to ask.

OVERALL OPINION

Just a first night ...

A 145 €, it is an unbeatable price with such high quality sound ... I tried the Boss and much pedal ... never before I did this much fun with the Delay ...

It was under his foot a world of sound really interesting and easy to access ... This pedal has only two flaws: 1 - A Tap Tempo we rule "mutant" pedal and beating time on the guitar ... lack of space. A business decision that ruled out a Live game mode for "catch" a rhythm in a song is a little view of a tap tempo, right? 2 - Not operating from the USB port to save its settings ...

In short, really a great pedal very compact and beautiful offering a world of sound at a great price ...

The delay effect and allows extensive adjustments to really explore sounds very subtle ... the effect is probably the most "special" which allows so many different atmospheres

Empress pedal Superdelay (400 €) seems much better and creative ... but it is not the same budget.

Despite all the TC Electronic Flashback is an excellent choice ... Not a fart breath, a solid case, a comfortable grip and especially sound worlds to explore ...

Digital-analog delay with a charging function via USB Settings

UTILIZATION

configuration is simple, read what is written on it and go! The manual is clear, publishing settings is not available (for now), analog editing is precise but requires some habits of delay ...

SOUND QUALITY

The effects are perfect (TC required) Nothing rings false, modulation or tape delay is entirely up to the racks TC.
I use mainly the delay in modular configuration TV - AC30

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a month, I tested bosses, memory boy repeat red, it suits me better, it has everything I like in no other delay faults
more, the tap tempo switch and now piloting the measure strumming the strings.
I do not use the loop function, one day maybe ....
7 seconds of delay max, what to do .....

Delay pedal true bypass has the following properties (brace yourself):
- 9 types of delay (2290, analog, tape, lofi, dynamic, mod, pingpong, slap, reverse)
- Time delay up to 6 sec.
- A looper mode (40 sec).
- The famous Toneprint mode, which allows to store a preset created by guitar'z'héros your favorites.
- Stereo input and output (and of course mono) + 1 USB + 1 9Volts DC 100ma
- 1 switch black / dotted eighth / black + dotted eighth.
- 1 tap delay hidden (just hold down the switch and kick his plectrum on the strings).
- Encore 2 Miniswitch under the pedal, and Killdry buffered bypass (that I did not really understand but hey it sounds good).
- Though sturdy metal case with Metallic paint, rather successful.

UTILIZATION

Simple configuration and especially well thought out. After trying a vintage Artec delay (a little soft and not with Killdry mix thoroughly) and a Memory EH toy (very successful, but I told myself that I would get bored quickly because only one type of delay, but it's my fault I should have guessed), I was about to buy the Nova repeater when I saw the commercial site on our famous Flashback. I initially found it beautiful and more compact but I told myself it would surely not all the features of Nova. Well if my little lady! from the number of subdivisions (black, dotted eighth, etc.) and tone knobs and mod that have disappeared, she does the same (even tapdelay is here!) and even more since Looper 40 seconds (yes sir), 9 types of delays against 6 for the nova. Finally the mode Toneprint "which is a little marketing is not so bad: For the scene, for example, if you need a delay for a specific song, find an approaching what you want among the presets created by our friends the "stars" and set it aside stored in the beast. You can then recall this preset just turning the dial to the position Toneprint practice ...
Manuel succinct but clear

SOUND QUALITY

It's TC, the branch and immediately understand that he made the right choice. Ie no difference or change in volume compared to its bypass with a very clean and audible delay behind ... All the delays are excellent (some may be less useful as lofi) and it's always clean. I mainly use the 2290 (based on the legendary TC 2290), analog (similar to the EH Memory toy) and Tape (very warm). The dynamic is also nice: When you play, the level of delay is mitigated, and between sentences, his level increases.
I use the flashback in the effects loop of my ENGL Screamer 50 (1st model 1997) and it works really well: no "dephasing", the natural sound of the amp is really respected (not even need to use mode Killdry the pedal!).
I also tried recording. Plugged directly into my stereo sound card, at the end of the chain after a few pedals (one 9000volts yerasov, notice provisions) and a johnson j-station as a simulated HP. Great result, the stereo offers a lot and I even made a pretty cool discovery: Normally the only effect is the stereo Flashback Pingpong (normal what), but PUTTING THE SWITCH ON SUBDIVISION BLACK + dotted eighth position (down) ALL BECOME THE DELAY STEREO WITH THE BLACK AND THE LEFT dotted eighth RIGHT IN THE MIX! Class, bravo mr TC!
Otherwise the Looper is nice (you can register as many layers as you wish), I have not bought it but it's fun and interesting to work riffs and improvisations.

OVERALL OPINION

The pros:
- Ben ... everything. The sound quality TC is there (as usual).
- The number of grouping available in a small box (in the 12th century, engineers would have eventually TC at the stake!). Using guitar of course but why not mix console with stereo inputs.
- Small handy features (tap delay, Killdry, looper, toneprint ...)
The -:
- Slayer of batteries! Duracell new one sketched in 1 hour! (Pedal has also worked with the battery not included so be careful before returning the pedal VAS). Provide a brief power supply (works very well with a universal power supply super U!)

Conclusion: The design super efficient.
145 euros is not cheap, but the flashback is a little pedal ideal which we could have dreamed and is more of TC ... or of 5 stars.
