The Flashback x4 Delay pedal from the famous brand TC Electronic is the evolution of the old single. This new model home TC Electronic has within twelve delay mode, a looper, four slots for many TonePrint, all downloadable for free from the official website and of course the possibility of having three types of delay ready for use thanks to the three stomp A, B and C. This is the general overview of the features of this pedal, but now we go into more detail.

Connections: On the rear panel we find the connections that include a mono input and a stereo, and mono output a stereo, an expression pedal to control port (your choice) of delay time, feedback and level, a mini USB port and MIDI In and Thru.

Front panel:

FIRST CONTROL: In front panel, from left, we find the knob used for selecting the types of delay. The Flashback x4 features (compared to its predecessor, the Flashback) a couple of ways in addition, the manner and Tube Space, we also have the ability to associate a delay in analog modulation and in 2290 the same. By selecting these two types of delay that we will have a delay in its present felled as modulation classic TC chorus of home.

Using the same knob, you can select one of four slots reserved for TonePrint (in the previous model it was only one). What is TonePrint? It is preset created ad hoc by users more or less famous but selected, up to date. After enormous demands from around the globe, the TC was “unsympathetic” and indeed released software for creating TonePrint. The latter are loaded inside the pedal through the mini USB port which is located in the rear panel or through an application developed for both Android for iOS, bringing the smartphone to the pickup of the guitar.

DELAY TIME: knob that allows us to set the delay time.

FEEDBACK: knob that allows us to decide the adjustment of feedback.

DELAY LEVEL: knob with which we can choose at will mix as our sound “neutral” with that of Flashback x4.

LOOPER LEVEL: knob that allows us to change the level of the looper.

Among the knobs DELAY TIME and FEEDBACK and those of DELAY LOOPER LEVEL LEVEL and there are two small switches, the first allows you to change the subdivisions in quarter notes, eighth notes or quavers crotchets more bets and the second pass Looper mode.

The four underlying switch operated with the foot, in the delay mode is used in this way: the first three A, B and C allow us to have as many preset with the possibility of immediate recall, while the fourth is for the TAP time. When the Looper is active, footswitches change function controls Record, Play / Pause, Play Once and Undo. There are 40 seconds of memory available for operation looper, with which to capture the overlaps progressive in different running one-man-band; the engine of the loop (with undo embedded) is independent from that of delay (the
sentences put in the loop may have replied …).

This is a brief description of Flashback x4 pedal home TC Electronic, a pedal in my humble opinion very valid with a good quality / price ratio I hope to be helpful, for all sorts of information I invite you to visit the official website TC Electronic at http://www.tcelectronic.com.
