Flashback 2 Delay : I love it! It's great for synths

5 years ago

I bought it to use together with Behringer Odyssey. I'm glad I did because I love what I hear. They both complement each other. Flashback has several good delay modes. Ana, Dyn, Mod and Crys are my favourites. They really work well with synths, and the sonic palette is so huge. The sound quality is simply superb.

As someone working only with plugin delays, I can say that hardware is way better and more fun to use.

From classic delays to strange, ambient textures - Flashback allows for all of this.

I still have to explore the last three free slots. I just imported 3 random presets, which were fine but very similar to those that are built-in. The entire TonePrint thing is yet to be explored by me, but I'm already delighted with this pedal even without it.

I had only one issue with updating firmware: I had to use a laptop because the USB chipset on my desktop pc couldn't recognize Flashback at all. However, the PCI card in my PC, with additional USB ports, can recognize the pedal, too (I found later that it works). It's quite strange, but before the firmware update, I couldn't even bypass this pedal.

Now everything works as intended.

I highly recommend this pedal to anyone who wants a great delay/rever/fx pedal for the synth. Lots of fun!
