Always loved TC Electronics products. Top notch. Great video! Thanks.

A switch to allow you to run delays together (like the triple delay) or individually would have been the bees knees

I bought a Strymon Dig largely because of you. It’s probably the one pedal on my board I can’t live without now! Thank you so much Bill!

It does have stereo in, you just need to use a trs cable and open the pedal to move 1 component inside to activate the stereo input. It sounds harder than it really is but it's super simple, the documentation online explains it very well

I'm waiting for the Triple Delay II

Wow what a great sound. Looking forward to hearing you use it in a track.

Cheers Bill, love the single pedal version of this...

I'm sold! Great review brother!!!

Gorgeous guit man ! Damn !

One of the earliest examples of delay used to great effect on a song to sell records is the opening of Elvis Presley's Baby Lets Play House. The stutter step B-Babys were triplets and the delay was dotted eighth note I think. Then early Pink Floyd on to Brian May Brighten Rock and The Edge Streets Have No Name. Always been interested in that kind of stuff and why I enjoy this channel.

Nice!

Thanks for the great demo! Clear and to the point. Curious about expression pedal brands or preferences you use with the flashback delay pedals. I owned the older version of the X4 and currently use the Triple delay. My attempts to get an expression pedal properly set up have been confusing and frustrating. Any advice? Maybe using it with the editor.....hmm.

Greaaaaaaat

Hi Bill,could you have a look at the new Boss SY1?

Have you ever come across and had the opportunity to play a Danelectro Reel Echo? I bet you'd get cool fx with the slide for time and the built in looper.

Great review! I’m torn between buying this and the triple. Are they both capable of producing a dual delay i.e. ‘The Edge’? Cheers.

Excellent video👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼What is better Flashback x4 or Flashback 2 x 4 playing live Rock?🙏🙏

I use original X4 for few years and your video totally broke my heart :) now I want this v2, because of subdivision knob. In v1 it's done quite awkwardly. At the other hand, even in v2 they didn't do anything with awkward delay/looper switch, the main pitfall of this great blue peace of iron.

Is it normal that when changing presets some delays don't respond immediately in the split second after changing them?

Dual delay is one of the most common delay use.. It should be added in the knob selector not only in the toneprint.

Can you assign the looper to a preset?

How do you get such great sound for your voice in your videos?

Good morning, Another great video. I currently have the first version. And I'm facing a big problem: I lose my settings after a while. I tried to solve the problem through updates, but it does not change anything. My question is simple. Does v2 have the same problem?

Your videos are truly awesome!!!! Any reason why this Flashback 2 x4 is not in your Amazon recommended list?

So it's a 2 by 4 ??

It saves presets with different subdivisions??

Had the original x4. My main gripe is I’d rather have a ditto like looper in place of the tap tempo. The looper on it is a pain to use because you have to change the delay sounds by hand if you’re in looper mode.

@Luke Robinett tc electronic got back to me and said you can't use delay in the looper mode. It's ridiculous really. How could the first model use it but the newer one can't ?

I love these pedals 😃 I own the original x4 and a flashback mini. The x4 is my favorite pedal of all, I only need that and a drive pedal and I’m happy. I want this one as well 😜

hello what reglage for reggae music?

First of all, I love your channel and your music as well, and I just have one question, when you go from preset A to preset B does it cut the delay sound or it leave a little tail, like the Hall of Fame X4 does?

We will have to wait and see if they do a Triple Delay 2.

that dynamic delay is a cool idea. Does the analog feedback go nuts like analog delays do. as opposed to that controlled endless digital-style feedback you demonstrated early in the video?

@stephanhoing8269

Speaking from my experience with the Flashback 2 (which should also hold true for the Flashback 2 x4): Yea, the Analog Delay can get pretty nutty if you crank the feedback knob up. I would use everything beyound 2 o'clock with caution. But if you throw some Delay-knob-fiddling into the mix (which on the Analog-setting is also controlled by MASH), you can get crazy with self-oscillation. And who doesn't like that? :)

Cool demo. When you're synced to midi, what's the longest delay setting you can do? 1 measure? 2? Does the looper decay?

@chordsoforion

Longest delay time is 7 seconds. The looper does not decay.

U cool dude

Man, I just read that the two banks are shown by red or green LEDs. I'm red/green colorblind! Dang it I hate it when pedal manufacturers do this! How hard is it to make the LEDs red and blue, or red and white, or anything other than red and green!!!

2290 and Crystals sounds great but Analog and tape are just really average to my ears. Great for the price, but its just too damn big. Think I'd more likely go for the EHX Grand canyon for similarish money.

Hi, great vid, can you use different delay types at the same time? Like 2290 mod on left and analogue on right in stereo, or ping ponging different types across two channels in mono.

@@chordsoforion Thanks. Bought the Triple Flashback...used. It was noisy and colored my tone a lot. It's going back today. Using DD500 whioch is better and just bought a DD-8 which arrives today so I can compare. People say good things about the DD-8. Question- does having mostly digital pedals on my board completely negate any benefit of adding an analog pedal to the party? I just bought The Duellist- a very nice analog Drive Pedal. Not sure if it will work or not.

A real drawback is the fact that you can't make a preset with two independent delays in series. For example, I like to use an extremely short delay to fatten the tone, followed by a dotted eights note delay with modulation. The pedal has by far enough processing power to do that, it's a limitation that could be fixed with a software update. But that will never happen in this company.

One negative about my TC Electronic Flashback, no trailing when switching between patches. Signal cuts off hard/dry. Very unnatural sounding live playing. Boss DD 200 better solution

Never mind

I hope they make a triple delay 2....if they added a mash switch to it........perfection.

I wish somebody, instead of demoing Frippertronics, which nobody cares about, would just configure this thing for how they would use it in a live Classic Rock band show and demonstrate playing six classic rock songs with the six presets and how to push the pedals to get there. Let's here one preset for "China Grove", one preset for the lead break to "Money", how to play the delays on "The Wall", how to play the delay used on "Immigrant Song". Let's hear the background track to "Eye of the Tiger", and show how a guitarist might play that song in a show. Now is that asking too much? Apparently, yes.

i hate every delay you showed. sounds very bad
