The
TC Electronic Flashback 2 X4
is the flagship Delay Effect Pedal from the legendary manufacturers. The Flashback 2 X4 has been revised, and now includes not only top-class Delay sounds, but also a practical Loop recorder. 9x Delay algorithms are available for traditional Tape Echo and Slap-Back or modern Dynamic, Crystal or Reverse Delays. You can also store your own pre-sets or TC Electronic Tone Prints in one of 6x memory locations. In addition to the Tap Tempo function (with subdivision), the TC Electronic Flashback also offers 3x MASH Footswitches with pressure sensors that can be used to control Effects parameters in real time.
The main features of the TC Electronic Flashback 2 X4 Delay include:
I haven't had this very long, but I am already blown away with the sound quality and the sheer scale of what it can do. Very easy to use, including beaming tone prints from the App.
The only drawback, if you can call it such, is the complexity of the tone print editor, which could be a little daunting.
£175 for an absolute beast of a delay, with just about any permutation your mind could dream of, from simple slap back to mind boggling sweeps ans swoops. Add in the MASH function, which can alter programmable parameters and the sky is you limit.
Very impressive piece of kit.
Good quality, but a three-trick pony, and one trick i really don't like. It's all personal whether it does what you want it to or not. I was hoping for it to do something other than what it does. It may yield better results when I get time to dig deeper into it.
I have previously had an original Flashback 4 and Alter Ego X 4 which were both superb and were faultless, so the new version was of great intrerest with the extra pre set slots and mash switches, I use mine for my vocals and its great to be able to use a pedal for my voice in the same way you would for a guitar and this new version is just way better.
Huge range of options by itself but even more with the toneprint app. Looper and mod effects make it much more than a delay pedal and it’s built like a tank!
