Published on 05/20/11 at 16:03- 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 ...
