tc electronic Flashback 2 Delay

The Flashback 2 is a compact pedal that delivers a broad range of delay effects, which can be quickly and easily selected and adjusted using the four control knobs and mini switch. TC Electronic’s proprietary TonePrint technology allows a significantly broader range of parameters to be fine-tuned and new presets created via smartphone using the free TonePrint app, and these can be wirelessly transferred to the pedal’s three memory slots. TC Electronic has been a pioneer in the field of digital echo effects since the release of its classic 2290 studio delay unit, and the company’s many years of expertise have gone into this pedal as well. Its fully stereophonic design makes it suitable not only for electric guitars but also for keyboards and other electric instruments, while its true bypass function and analogue dry signal path ensure a clean signal chain. When used in mono mode, the “stereo” input can also be used to connect a tap tempo switch.

The Flashback 2 delay serves up a practical selection of typical echo effects for instrumentalists, including simulations of vintage effects units. On top of that, the pedal’s Reverse Delay and Crystal settings, the latter of which integrates a pitch shifter, also put other-worldly sounds at the player’s disposal, and a practical looper is additionally included. The TonePrint function in turn allows players to extensively customise their settings by giving them access to numerous further parameters that are otherwise only found in significantly more expensive products, while the app also provides presets from a range of renowned artists, allowing their signature sounds to be adapted in no time at all. And last but by no means least, the MASH switch makes dynamic effect control possible, a feature that is simply not available with conventional pedals.
