tc electronic Flashback 2 Delay Reviews

Does the job really well

I use this in front of my amp mostly for the slap-back driven tones of Jimmy Page etc. It has a lot of delay types and is very versatile. A really great delay pedal all round.

This pedal worked perfectly and is very reliable, but it just does not sound good something fake sounding. I think it does a lot of things ok instead of doing one thing right with all the delay options. I dont like the selector knob it is hard to know what delay you are on. I have the hall of fame and I like it but the Flashback did not do it for me.

TC Flashback 2

Great and versatile delay pedal in a compact package. Pros - Digital (2290), tape, reverse and mod modes all sound great to my ears. I mostly use the tape delay emulation and it always adds a nice touch to any ambient sound. - Using the TonePrint editor, you can get a lot of other sounds, you could even turn the Flashback 2 into a chorus or a flanger pedal. - Easy access to different time divisions (you can change them with the TonePrint editor too), very useful if you like the dotted 8th sound. - Stereo in and out - The mash switch can be used for some fun stuff. In analog and tape modes, it can make the delay self-oscilate. In 2290 mode, it can sustain your notes - Easy to use looper Cons - The analog mode sounds too dark to me. You could probably change that in the toneprint editor but the default one just doesn't do it for me - The TonePrint editor is both in-depth but also confusing to use, not much guidance or help from TC. - The crystal/shimmer mode which adds repeats that are pitch shifted up 1 octave sounds harsh. I haven't been able to make it sound good so it's just sort of useless for me. In conclusion, this is a really good delay pedal at an affordable price. You get a variety of sounds, some better than others, and more if you figure out how to use the TonePrint editor effecively. The different time divisions was the thing that convinced me to get the Flashback 2 instead of other delay pedals in this price range like the Boss DD-8.

TC Flashback 2 Delay

Good, just need to find your tone.

Really nice delay. I like it much more then DD3. Mostly using it on tape dly mod....and MASH is really cool :)

absolutely love this

the mash button has completely changed my way of playing and influenced the style of our band. but you need to get into the software and make your own patches to use it best.

Love it

Careful, if you want to use an external tap tempo, you need a stereo (TRS) patch cable, not a regular one.

Overwise: works a charm, every setting is a bliss, and the looper is great.

Easy to use and versatile

7 different delay effects are the basic flavors for everyone. I used 2 more different delay pedals and this pedal has some strong and weak sides.

I find 2290 and tape delays are very good (my first 2 selections) which are not available in boss dd pedals. But boss has better modulate effect in my opinion. Analog effect is not good as mxr carbon copy for sure.

Additionally this pedal has 2 more features which the other pedals do not have. Toneprint and the mash features. In the mobile app of toneprint, I found a lot of different harmonized delay effects (less than half of them are interesting...), some of them are very unique to be honest. And you have

opportunity to build your own effect which makes tc electronics be very innovative brand. And the mash feature behave differently per each different delay effect; it is enjoyable to play with it.

For the built quality, I have a few pedals from tc electronics and i like this brand quality...

It makes playing bass funny again

I bougth this Delay together with the Chorus from TC. Now I can play along with some songs from Pink Floyd or create my own sound. It doesn't have to be a guitar player only who can show off on stage.

It takes a while to get used to alle the knobs and possebilities. But once you get your hands on it - you'll enjoy it.

Awesome!

The only delay pedal you need either on gig or bedroom use!

Great Delay pedal

An extremely versatile and affordable pedal with plenty of features, also a decent looper at the same time! There are extra 3 channels that you can mod with any kind of sound there is in Toneprint.. The mash effect just adds to its unlimited capabilities!! Totally recommended!!

Awesome delay

My first delay pedal. Great for beginners and advanced musicians. Most of the time I use Mike Stern toneprint.

Good Solid Build Quality

This pedal is well built and feels like a quality product, I have the Hall of Fame Reverb pedal and its the same. These pedals sound great and work well together. The Flashback Delay gives me all the classic delay sounds I need and it sounds fantastic. The mash feature is great for some creative soundscapes.

Pro’s - build quality, features, sound, tone print options,price

Cons - none really, although the ability to store/recall presets would make it perfect, but I guess thats why the larger more expensive version exists!

Great versatile delay

It was almost a spontaneous purchase with very little research before buying. Price looked good and I wanted a delay pedal so after a few YouTube videos I ended up with Flashback 2. It’s a GREAT pedal, build quality is solid, it’s packed with delay modes and allowed me to play around and figured a few delay sounds I like and could fit into the music I play. It’s easy to dial a new sound between songs but I’m even thinking about their multi preset version. Foot switch pressure feature is amazing to make noises or background sounds, I thought it could be just for fun but we got it into some songs. It’s also possible to make it a tap tempo switch using the app. Looper function seems just like an extra thing but it’s very convenient and easy to use for practice I use it much more than I expected for a home practice.

Great delay sounds, and cool mash function

Shame there is no built in tap tempo, but I believe you can customise it now using software. Mash switch is cool too.

Flashback 2 Delay

Very sofisticated and programmable pedal showing good quality and versatility - a true surprise !

The best delay for its price

This is an amazing delay pedal. Many options killer sound.couldn;t be more happy with a delay

Very Robust, Good options

The TC Flashback Is etremely well built, while very compact it offers the guitarist of keyboard player a good range of delay options including modulation and crystal fx... a dedicated lood pedal as well its very versitile for the price. The only criticism it that when recording with it there is a small bit of backround noise, but overall a welcome addition to the pedal board of any player

Amazing value for money

The amount of possibilities you get in a pedal of this value is great!

Excellent Pedal

Its my first guitar pedal and I'm very excited with the quality and the features!!!

build quality very good!!!

the mash function very fun to play.

TonePrint very good and easy function.

the pedal it does what a delay pedal have to do easy and quick.

Highly recommend
