Flashback 2 Delay : In one word - wow.

8 years ago

The Flashback just got better - at an even lower price point.

Analog dry-through, with great sounding delays, new algorithms for tape / analog (dive bombs - yay!), it can be configured to keep the delay repetas after it is switched off, and the MASH switch is great fun to play with - and with a bit of practice can be very useful. And of course, the three TonePrint slots are the icing on the cake.

The only drawbacks I find apply to all TonePrint enabled pedals, and have to do with the editor: a few crashes here and there, doesn't allow editing on Android, you can't export your saved presets from your computer to your phone / tablet, and the user manual is quite outdated, so it isn't always obvious what each of the (many!) parameters does.

On the flip side, using the editor opens up an infinite array of sonic possibilities, way beyond what the simple appearance of the pedal would lead you to believe. And of course, even without using the editor, it's still an amazing sounding pedal.

Now if only TC would allow us to tweak the built-in presets without having to waste TonePrint slots...
