TC Electronic Flashback Delay

[xxshawn]

Was that some Blame It On The Tetons by Modest Mouse I heard? Fuck yeah.

[panchobehrmann]

Invisible Sun!

[bluesBro18]

i got mine last year from pro guitar shop, great pedal great service, cheers

[ladukie69]

I use it for the acoustic fingerstyle guitar... super!!

[bugeyedmudafuka2]

these guys make great pedals.i have the nova drive and g-system.they are the best pedals iv ever used.super good sound off em

[FunkKlock]

go to? no friggin kidding!

[StrateMoW]

what's the song ?

[WantsToSleep]

Playing some Modest Mouse! NICE!

[normalsigara]

i was thinking digital can not be better than analog. Flashback totally change my mind. It give really pure effect

[dumalucky]

Analogue is always the way to go.. not digital.. but getting a good and variable delay from analogue can be so hard .. this pedal will fit well in an analogue setup and it has such a lot to offer.. thumbs up

[tamtszyau1988]

which delay should i buy? flashback or the nova delay?

[trysmudford]

@tamtszyau1988 I just got the nova modulator and flashback delay. The Nova's are good but the Flashback is so good! and great value.

[yonkeythedonkey]

There has to be an Invisible Sun!

[imorielmbs]

how many loops can i record on looper?

in sea only to loops, can i record more like in the BOSS DD7?

[forfuckssakestop]

transdermal celebration...fuck yeah!!! :DD

[smoore8807]

@forfuckssakestop was stoked to hear that one

[1stchoicemodern]

invisible sun

[Coltrainmusic]

What's the name of that song he's playing at 4:00?

[opie23]

@Coltrainmusic Think its blame it on the tetons by modest mouse

[HallyIsNotVegan]

@Coltrainmusic I believe it's "blame It On The Tetons" by Modest Mouse.

[Theprose]

Does PGS or anyone know of any new sound on sound loopers planned for issue this year or early next year? I am currently looking into buying the flashback delay for the loop function alone as it has such an easy accessible looper function when working live, with 40secs and with no double tapping and such a small footprint this is the one at the moment. Id appreciate any info!?

[Linsenpuppe]

Do I get this right: The mini-switch switches between a) quarters b) dotted eights c) quarters and dotted eights?

Is there really no simple eights position?

Can the function of the switch be changed in the toneprint programms?

[Guitarisforgrins]

@Linsenpuppe The point of the switch is offering different sub divisions... if you want eigth notes you would just use the quarter note function and double the speed.

[FunkyDevil9]

Zajebisty delay, polecam

[JRNicholson27794]

Hey andy, so there's no tap tempo, So does the pedal work out the timing of the quarter and dotted eighth notes from where you put the delay time at?

[luckyphilster]

serioudly, what is better, true bypass or noiseless swithching????? help!!



[Wilq59r]

Andy, in most of the delay reviews you did an delay oscillation, why not here? Can this pedal do it? I damn hope so!

[ed2000888]

Does this thing do any Oscillation???

[ec101dm]

@ed2000888 no, but the Ibanez DE-7 does that very nicely

[GraniteOverworld]

FUCK YES, Ultra props to Andy for opening with a Ween song! :D

[uhgvitybvouv]

@GraniteOverworld is it from ween? i thought it was strokes.. can you tell me the name of the tune? thanks

[t0psecretshit]

so on true bypass mode...there will be no delay tails after turning the pedal off?

[RQ3S]

Modest Mouse. Hell yes.

[daniel9622]

I like how Tape mode is called Tape on the pedal and Analogue mode is called Ana. Adding that L would have been hilarious though.

[NAAMxLOOS]

@daniel9622 They probably foresaw that ;)

[giggs102]

@daniel9622 HAHA. ANAL MODE.

[mitchellvanvliet]

bought this a minute ago, love it.

[jkodee]

on every mode is the delay time between minimum (20ms or so) to 6 seconds? isn't that a little imprecise when choosing the desired time? thanks

[95shredder]

@jkodee Everything except slapback.

[jkodee]

on every mode is the delay time between minimum (20ms or so) to 6 seconds? isn't that a little imprecise when choosing the desired time? thanks

[lordgraga]

@FinalSkyz: It is a song by Danish Tim Christensen called Secrets on Parade. Check out his live recordings from Abbey Road. Amazing music, THUMB THIS UP!

[FinalSkyz]

I Love the first song.... What is this ??!

[opilus]

whats the song at 4:00?

[Theseventhknight]

blame it on the tetonnsssssss @3:48.

never heard it with a ton of delay, but it works pretty nice.

[poichai]

how long will a rechargeable 9V batt keep this on? like energizer... =)

[TheFunnyzach]

@poichai not long.... please please for the love of god use a 9v wall plug

[GallowayJesse]

Dear Pro Guitar Shop,

If TC lets you guys do more toneprints for the Flashback, will you please do a dark analog delay with a hint of smooth chorus to sound like an MXR Carbon Copy

:)

[bluesBro18]

just ordered one today!

[HiMyNameIsJacky]

A flashback with a preset option would be perfect!

[ElMontu]

Hi, How much (mA) at 9V the pedal consumes? Is for calculate if I can use an Ibanez Power splitter (5 pins) with my 9V adapter (200mA).. Thank you

[liamzuid]

What delay pedal would be more Steve Vai Joe Satriani friendly, this or the dd-7?

[hackett999]

Hey PGS! What is the looper like for this pedal? Is it comparable to a looper pedal (as its main function)

[rexasul]

@hackett999 Was wondering myself for ages, nobody covers it. Check out the official TC Electronics demonstration, it's a long video so if you've heard it all, just skip to 17:05 for the bit about the looping. 40 seconds of loop time and unlimited overdubs... pretty damn good if you ask me.

[SkullaRed]

Hi I am kind of new to guirtar pedals I went ahead and got the line 6 dl4 like it a lot but its so big I dont put it on my pedal board end up not using cos of that so I decided to change it for smaller was looking at hardwire dl8 but then went to music store guy showed me this one says it better can I get any help on this please opinions on it?

[johnhorneguitar]

Love that you are getting to do your own toneprints!

[alejo2564]

If you had to choose between this, the MXR Carbon Copy or the Line 6 DL-4 which one would you choose?

[leozingy]

@alejo2564 This one. MXR Carbon Copy has terrible quality control issues (they keep breaking) and so does the Line 6 DL-4 (I had two, took real good care of them - but the knobs start sliding off and the loop mode just broke down in one... all by itself?!?!). TC has always been known as reliable (had a 25+ year old TC Chorus/Flanger and it's still going strong and works quirk-free!). I'm getting the Flashback for my keyboard setup.

[ElectronRomance]

Hey, nice demo!

Is it possible to mod the TC Electronic Flashback Delay so that I could save the presets?

Thank you!

[95shredder]

@ElectronRomance Wait for Andy to explain what TonePrint does.

[junkyardking13]

can you record a loop, let it keep repeating and then play any type of delay on top of it? Or does the loop stop once you choose something other than the loop mode?

[electrocuerpo]

Hey, I have a question, does any mode of the Flashback oscillate in pitch when you move the "time" knob? this should be more notorious with a large feedback... Thanks

[frankgodon]

what is the first song you play ? It's sound pretty good !

[jmoarch]

@frankgodon

Transdermal Celebration by Ween

Awesome choice Andy!!!

[seagullssuck2]

hell yeah blame it on the tetons

[JazzyDave]

Wow, I rarely use pedals, but this one immediately got my attention...diggin' it! Thanks for the review...

[danakerman]

$169 -- wow, that's a great price and a lot lower than I thought it would be. My main question is, other than size and price, what are the main reasons to buy this versus the Nova Delay?

[Crodon]

I love how a 7 minute demo by PGS has more views then a 23 minute one by TC Electronics themselves!

[voodoochili12]

Love the Ween! You have an excellent appreciation for both classic and contemporary rockin' riffs.

[Freeptom]

Hey Andy, whats the last song which starts at about 6:25? I dig it!

[Metallica5566]

@Freeptom Invisible Sun by The Police.

[bushkey]

this vs. the T-Rex Replica?

[Danthehorse]

Does this pedal mess with your tone though?

[ak2112]

@Danthehorse

Listen to the demo?

[MrMutron]

WE WANT A IBANEZ WH10V2 WAH DEMO!!! (thumbs up so andy can see)

[justinshootsstuff]

no tap tempo?

[crguti]

Does it work for bass?

[trod13]

Great sounding pedal and review. Seen these being demo'd too at Andertons and look really intriguing. Need to build a pedal board and one of these might go on there. Btw liked the "Blame it on the Tetons" bit =)

[ChablesMan]

I'm digging these TC Electronic pedals a LOT.

[leoxlp]

I have a question about that Stereo out. Can I plug an Amp to the "Mono" out and another Amp to the "Stereo" out and it works just like a Left out and a Right out? Stereo two-amp delay?

[SenorHammyHams]

what's the first song?

[ak2112]

@SenorHammyHams

It's Transdermal Celebration by WEEN

[primusfan7]

That's definitely some Ween in the intro there. Great choice!!!

[YearraeY]

excellent Delay pedal, i own one, i tried about 20 different delay pedals from other makers and this ranks quite high along with the vox Time Machine.

[xdux]

andy whats better please::: tech 21 boost delay tap tempo, the line 6 dl4 , this, OR the ehx mem man deluxe tap tempo please, thanks sir

[almdudler91]

what's the song's name that starts at 3:58 and goes allll the way until 4:40~?? it's soooo beautiful....

[zrobertez]

@almdudler91

It was Blame it on the Tetons by Modest Mouse!!!! I first heard that song this morning! It's wonderful!

[warrenmusic]

No one caught Invisible Sun??

[prsfan01]

3 people must be Justin Bieber fans!

[GuernB2]

This can't be cheap...

[Dreamscapevirus]

@GuernB2 $10 cheaper then boss dd-7

[icymagma98]

@GuernB2 $170

[kuesh]

Was that Blame it on the Tetons?

[mestosdaetsa]

Whre is the hairy hands???

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

@mestosdaetsa Men have hair ;)

[peaboy2009]

come on Andy! how much?

[frankgodon]

What is the price of this little baby ? Realy amazing sounds ! I love it !

[kddean66]

Andy, I'm not a stalker or anything, but I prefer videos where we get to see you play. Just staring at a screen where the pedal just sits there isn't very interesting. Can't you put the pedal in the lower right hand of the screen or something?

[sparrow1133]

i know you plan on a PART 2 video .. can you explain the " kill dry " feature, please ? why is it different from buffered/ bypassed ? thanks.

[Dimitriyus]

@sparrow1133 Normally if you are using an amp with parallel fx loop, you need a wet unit. So the kill dry is very usefull. I would like to hear some samples too of this pedal in the parallel fx loop of an amp.

[AnalogEcho]

Gentlemen, start your shoegazing.

[DanielandFriends]

Can you record a loop, play the loop, and then use a different mode on the delay pedal while still playing back the loop?

[000MidnightSun]

andy, you have a great taste in music!

[MrMutron]

Andy, are you going to demo the Roland GR-55?

[prippropro]

the beginning scared me..sounded like an evil laugh..

[TesserId]

@prippropro, I had to go back and listen again.  Yeah, very eerie.

[AndreMuerteCocos]

A postrocker  MUST have!

[akumamaiden]

早く手に入れたい！最高♪

[strangequark2000]

Ween!  Nice job, Andy.

[ArtVandaleit]

invisible sun!!!!! wow. awesome!

[JeredtheShy]

Transdermal Celebraaatiioooonnn....

[mistakendrummer]

What's the opening song?

[strangequark2000]

@mistakendrummer, that's "Transdermal Celebration" by Ween.

[000MidnightSun]

@mistakendrummer ween! transdermal celebration

[spakuloid]

I have an el Cap - but I think TC hit it out of the park with this one.

[mynameistheman12345]

Does this have tap tempo?

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

@mynameistheman12345 It has a feature called audio tapping. You strum the tempo and the pedal picks it up. This is very useful in the dotted eighth note mode. We'll cover it shortly! Thanks,

-PGS

[benbrown4544]

@ProGuitarShopDemos How would someone engage the audio tap setting?

[letsgetcarriedaway]

Motherf**cker....this comes out just after I pull the plug on an El Cap....ah well I love my El Cap. :D

[everonlyallforthee]

Nice pedal. I might actually buy on the thing if only it had an external out for a tap.

[handsomemikeG]

Andy, you always pick the raddest songs. Love the Ween intro! Transdermal Celebration is a great tune.

[alonso8a]

@handsomemikeG finally somebody got it right!!!

[JerichBlakk]

I do hope that TC Electronics updates the way they present the artist tone prints..on how they did them..

ie;

In front of amp

Effects loop

In the studio with a High end console

etc...

Because this pedal has more tones then any other small pedal out there....

[VirtualAve]

Aaaaaand, this just killed Boss' DD7

[ojosdeweber]

Transdermal celebration! yeah!

[scorpguitar79]

meh...looks okay but I'm sure for the price there are better options like the strymon el capistan,etc.

[CAPT4INSL0W]

@scorpguitar79 but the el cap is $299. Flashback is $169....

[GuitarGeek693]

what is that song from 3:57 to 4:40? i know i've heard that before

[machogriz]

what overdrive are you using for the first song? (0:00 - 1:08)

[toiletfarm]

How can anyone choose a delay with so many good ones out there?  Every time I think I'm set on one, another demo comes out and I'm back to the drawing board.

[salmonline]

...looking like something that the cat brought in.

There's got to be an invisible sun....

[adammbowman]

Hey, Andy< I know you are in a band right? What is it called. I used to live in PDX, and I would like to know if I ever saw you. You are a great guitar player. Thank you for the greatest, most reliable demos on the net!

[salmonline]

Invisible Sun... nice one.

[FenixBG]

what is a delay reviews without On the Run? :D Sounds great!

Great work! :)

[Vaerco]

5:22 a little bit of Run Like Hell by Pink Floyd

[robibm2003]

Nice pedal.

[Euphoriaman]

i believe delays need a tap tempo, unless the analog/tape and stuff like that.. gotta get em on tap mane

[spalmer718]

@Euphoriaman I completely agree...but The Flashback actually has the audio tapping feature that the Nova has. Hold down the switch and "tap" the tempo by strumming your guitar strings. Then release the switch and you have set your tempo. Pretty cool feature. I'm not sure why Andy didn't cover that one...kind of important if you ask me.

[sixbladeknife44]

Ween, nice...

[grizzledgizzard]

I like how the voice-over guy alternates between sounding like a 'classic rock' dj and a straight 1960's announcer. "Hey groovy guys, here's the new rock sensation! Buy, buy, buy!" I hope YouTube charges for these advertisements.

[SilverSkyline92]

i already own the subdecay echobox, which i really love, but this is really really awesome

[iagobroxado]

Really really liked it .

[kebyonatin]

the first song i thought it's mayonnaise. ^_^ hehe, how stupid am i...

[TheEchomaker]

@kebyonatin haha oh i see why you thought that though

[mean0machine0]

whats the song he starts playing at 3:50?

[Guitarisforgrins]

@mean0machine0

It's Modest Mouse.... forget which song though.

[thelonelyguitars]

@mean0machine0 Blame It On The Tetons by Josh Ritter, covered by Modest Mouse

[succorsucker]

@mean0machine0 "Blame it on the Tetons" by Modest Mouse

[Hazel1312]

@mean0machine0 Sounds like Modest Mouse - Blame it on the Tetons. Not sure though.

[mean0machine0]

@Hazel1312 thanks dude, this is a cool version of it.

[cowboytonydee]

Nova Delay is still the best.

[TheFunnyzach]

@cowboytonydee not if you are looking for a space-saver

[alexiskin]

it is like a tutorial of Delay Pedal 101 watching Andy twists the knobs....

[bigmaxuu]

i wish you guys could put the name of the song you play in the video

[topicrass]

i would buy this pedal if Andy could submit the Toneprints...

[ProGuitarShopDemos]

@topicrass Stay tuned...

[chadworthman]

I've been thinking of getting the mxr carbon copy until I saw this. The price is close too.

[mintsnuff]

@chadworthman Carbon Copy still sounds better than this thing. The FD sounds lifeless and too digital. Don't let this demo change your mind.

[RedSkiesFF]

@mintsnuff So instead of using his ears and judging by an audio demo of this pedal, he should trust you and your ears?

[odgeUK]

@chadworthman Feeling the same. Although the CC is a REAL Analogue delay, whereas the TC is a digital representation. But then the TC sounds soooooo close.......and all that added versatility.......

[ItsA6StringThing]

@chadworthman `Get the new Deluxe Memory Man when it comes out. Tap Tempo Analog Delay!

[U2935]

good for U2 stuff since the edge uses a 2290

[IamLiterallyRetarded]

Ween

[niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick]

cool pedal for the bedroom rocker

[JvDam]

The Delay time button is horrible. Since it has 7 seconds of delay it's pretty useless, no way to use it accurately.

Toneprint is funny but it's nothing for the guys that are in a band and want to do their own stuff. The only nice toneprint is the one with lesser delay time.

[gokolink]

would have been very useful to see you play, i had a little bit of trouble the one time i played with delay.

[cosmogang]

Ya know, I gotta give it to Andy. This demo makes the Flashback sound WAY better than the original TC demo. That one was total suck.

[bloodySunday77]

Feedback knob set too high... around 10 or 11 o'clock with long feedback creates amazing sounds that were not shown here (yet)...

[SirMik003]

I like. I REALLY like.

[bloodySunday77]

I've got it for something like 3 weeks now... I love it. Brilliant.

[guitarsteve6190]

sounds kinda digital and thin to me idk....

[Andy8Tran]

SWEET!

[edadmartin]

Hey Andy when are you putting the band back together??

[FlameSnipe]

Iv'e been watching these videos for a long time now, I love a lot of these products but never have bothered to purchase any...

[SJ9495]

i like delay pedals!
