TC Electronic Flashback Delay and Looper Pedal

Four stars purely because I havn't had a chance to try the Flashback at stage volumes yet or it would be five .

If your looking for a digital echo pedal with a choice of echo colors i.e. analog , reverse , tape echo etc . I'd go for the Flashback . It does exactly what's asked of it with enough iceing on the cake to out strip the competition .

The ability to set the delay time by holding the pedal down playing a count on muted strings is a winner & much more intuative than the usual tap tempo system . It is also a useful looper permiting endless overdubs & the fact you can download settings created by well known players via a usb connection is another bonus .

Good digital echo unit at a reasonable price . Only quibble is the lack of an instruction manual but then this can be viewed on the T.C. site if required. Needs a power supply to keep it going ,as stated , as do most digital echo pedals.

The warning about the battery is a good idea as it loses charge so quickly you might otherwise think there is a fault. On DC, the pedal is brilliant, hours of fun and inspiration. The looper and ovedub is so useful to try out some ideas quickly without the faff of recording. The quarter note etc switch is also handy for a quick change so you don't have to change dial settings. Great pedal, great service.

Fantastic and inspirational sounds. A quality pedal.

This delay is well designed and well built. Small footprint makes it easy to slot onto a cramped pedalboard. Having a knob to select delay types makes it way more comfortable to use than having to scroll through parameters etc. The sounds are all well gauged the '2290' and 'analogue' being my favourites. The looper function is fine for some 'sketch pad' ideas as the looper time is generally enough to play a full twelve bar or complete verse. The tap tempo function works a treat and is very easy to use. As an added bonus it also has the Toneprint downloads which I haven't tried as yet but look forward to checking out. All in all, it's a lot of pedal for the money.

This is one of the most feature laden delay pedals I know of and I am still playing with it to find out all it's capable of. So far so brilliant!

After playing one of these, i instantly sold my other delays pedals to justify getting the Flashback delay. It's very versatile with different modes of delays with effective parameters, ranging from subtle to the extremes. As like other TC Electronic tone print pedals, the unique tone print option makes the line of pedals stand out, with even more tones available to download from the website.

A very happy purchase.

Tried a few, but this one is by far the best. You get alot for your money out of this pedal

After buying this pedal and playing with it for a couple of days, i returned it as all the styles of delay sound the same and the online toneprints are way too over the top.

I would recommend the Boss DD20 much better sounding and with the ability to store four presets and program in BPM as well as MS.

this pedal really is good. for me it was between this and the MXR carbon copy but in the end the flashback won the battle heres why...

in my opinion the carbon copy was a great pedal however lacked versitility this little gem from TC electronics however couldn't be more different. i'm usually more concerned about pedals with too many options but the flashback is truly a master of all trades i cand say that all the modes are useful and i was able to get lots of pleasing tones from mine. the controls felt just right as well making it a sinch to dial in the prefered sound, and the dual delay mode makes for some very interesting effects. the tap tempo feature is really handy too and its probably this that put the flashback over the top when compared to its rivals, just hold the switch in strum the desired interval and presto perfectly synced repeats.

however there are some bad points too in my opinion the analogue setting is not as convincing as real stand alone delays a minor point however as the tones available are great in their own way my biggest gripe with this thing however is the loop function and the bypass switch after the first dub of your looping madness there is a very noticable volume drop that i cant seem to compensate for to get balanced loops. also because the switch isn't very high i find myself kicking the delay mode switch off the loop function when i'm trying to record my overdubs, these might be more due to my general lack of proficiancy as a player but i thought it should be mentioned.

still a 5 star product crammed with tonal possibilities that will meet the needs of even the most elaborate soundscape artists out there, the tone print feature and tap tempo alone make this pedal a serious bit of kit that i suspect will find its way onto a lot of pedalboards out there. this pedal has done wonders for my tone adding depth, chime and lush modulation to an otherwise very muddy signal. for the price you cant go wrong. go buy it!

Does everything I wanted it for and a bit more. Really pleased with 'transparency' of sound. Love the lofi, tape, slapback, . and great value for the money.

Great pedal so far. I am yet to really fully test all the functions but lots of different good quality delay sounds and built as solid as a rock

This pedal is built very well. The various delays give a very wide range of effects to choose from as well as the downloadable Toneprints. I highly recommend this pedal to anyone and can't wait for the Overdrive to arrive.
