TC Electronic FLASHBACK 2 DELAY Overview

Packing TC Electronic's entire delay legacy into a single compact pedal, the Flashback 2 Delay and Looper from TC Electronic offers eight diverse delays FX, including analog tape and polyphonic Crystal delay and 40 sec mono / 20 sec stereo looping. And with the MASH footswitch, you get pressure-sensitive control with a mere stomp of your foot.

The 3-way switch provides three different delay subdivisions: 1/4 note, dotted 1/8 note, and combination mode. Stereo I/O lets you process stereo signals, generate stereo delay FX, and even use an external pedal for syncing to tap tempo via the second input. With the mini-USB port, you can connect to the TonePrint app to beam custom generated or downloaded FX to any of your three TonePrint slots. And with selectable true or buffered bypass, you can maintain your pure tone, free from high-frequency tone suck (true bypass) or prop up your signal for long cable runs and complex pedalboards (buffered bypass).

Don't Just Repeat History, Create it
Whether you're an ambient guru searching for a few dreamlike tones, a sonic astronaut exploring the outer regions of your own personal soundscape, or a performer looking to build up tracks live with the looper, Flashback 2 Delay and Looper provides the tools to reinvigorate your creativity like nothing else. Why follow the herd when you can lead it.
Innovative MASH Footswitch
The Flashback 2 Delay features groundbreaking new technology that brings a wide range of creative expression to the party, and is controlled solely by how much pressure you apply to the depressed footswitch. Years in the making, and only available in select TC Electronic products, this clever innovation elevates the common footswitch above the mundane duties of just on and off—MASH elevates your performance to the next level.
Crystal Delay and More
Flashback 2 Delay's Crystal effect uses the same algorithm as the Sub 'N' Up Octaver. By shifting the pitch up an octave through each feedback loop, Crystal delay creates an otherworldly shimmer that simply has to be experienced. And you can choose from a total of 8 stunning delay options, including hyperrealistic Tape, Modern, Reverse, and much more.
Performance Looper
With the looper built into your Flashback 2, you can record and play back grooves and lines for playing along. You can even overdub your recording an unlimited number of times.
TonePrint Ready
The TonePrint app allows you to beam FX directly to your device, including signature delays from some of the most revered icons of rock and roll. If you want something a bit more original, you can easily create your own via the free TonePrint Editor for PC, Mac, and iPad. And since good things often come in threes, Flashback 2 Delay provides 3 dedicated TonePrint slots to save your favorites.
Delay Types
  • 2290: based on the classic 2290 delay, with this FX MASH is assigned to raise the feedback and input level, effectively freezing the last repetition until you release the footswitch for a hold effect
  • Ana: this reworked analog mode boosts feedback with the MASH switch and turns down delay time for self-oscillation madness that sends the pitch flying
  • Tape: using the classic and realistic Tape mode, MASH controls delay time and boosts feedback to the maximum for epic space echo feedback
  • Dyn: with the Dynamic Delay algorithm, MASH controls the gate threshold, meaning that pushing the MASH switch down removes the gate, leaving you with a normal 2290 delay
  • Mod: in Modulation mode, pressing the MASH footswitch increases the depth of the TriChorus modulation over the delayed repeats
  • Crystal: in Crystal mode, MASH raises the octaver send, the delay feedback, and the spacing of the octaver's filter bank, controlling the shimmer effect for swells of crystalline repeats
  • Rvs: using the old-school Reverse delay effect, MASH engages the kill dry mode and mutes the dry signal, leaving only a reversed sound
  • Loop: with the looper engaged, MASH is effectively disabled
True to Tone
With optimized headroom, true or buffered bypass switch, and kill-dry on/off, this pedal guarantees optimal tonal integrity and zero loss of tone. And no matter if the pedal is on or off, your precious dry sound is always passed through the pedal unharmed, in all it's pure analog glory due to an analog dry through.

Upgraded to stereo from mono and from Donner yellow fall delay pedal to this. Night and day . the echo is lush, i feel more inspired when I play, so the notes come more naturally. Treat yourself to this pedal! m
