tc electronic Flashback Delay & Looper Pedal

[@Nichi-Ji]

Plus 1 billion likes for playing maggot brain in this demo

[@danielbrown8556]

Holy fuck I’m looking forward to this

[@Deneteus]

You had me at 3:13, which is exactly what I bought it for. Mine should be here tomorrow!

[@poindeckster2]

two taps to cancel the looper. also, you can press and hold the pedal for tap tempo with your guitar too (just pick the tempo)

[@nataliekuda336]

I know this is late but THANK YOU! I was really just looking for how to adjust the tempo😭

[@MichaelKingVids]

This is random, but The Edge of U2 found his world to music open up when he discovered the amazing potential with the delay pedal.

[@joesantana5704]

If, delay were the DEVIL?? Edge, definitely sold his SOUL????

[@NStuffMusic]

Yes you can start and stop the loop without losing the loop. It's a 40 Second looper

[@lrmars]

Excellent demonstration and musicianship!

[@NStuffMusic]

The TC is a little different kinda beast. It has a lot more options than the Boss or the Carbon copy as far as different "types" of delays goes. They did a great job on the design and layout. tonally I would say the quality might be a little better than the other two. Wampler and T-Rex also make some KILLER delay units!

[@clapdrix72]

Like the Eddie Hazel love at 3:15-3:34 !!

[@bestboy897]

great demo awesome playing

[@NStuffMusic]

It does not have a hold button, but you may be able to get an external footswitch for the flashback x4 that would function as a hold button.

[@Freeptom]

Awesome pedal! Loved Maggot Brain!

[@carbonbased7291]

Cool, that was what I tried to go for as well! Got no tubescreamer but the peavey's going to make some enjoyable noise I suppose.

[@timberwolfenstein]

For the money, the Flashback is a solid product and would make a good addition to anybody's pedal arsenal. It does have its limitations though. The looper is somewhat lame and the foot switch has a slight audible click. With that said, the sound quality is superb. I was lucky and got one used from n' stuff for $100. TC Electronic makes an upgraded version II and their Nova Delay. There's also the "Alter Ego" which is basically a Pink Floyd inspired mod of the Flashback.

[@Chris-bx6ux]

As soon as I heard Maggot Brain, I RAN to the comments

[@danbrown4606]

Me too😂

[@Chris-bx6ux]

This guys deserves all the likes more Maggot Brain

[@MichaelKingVids]

On a pedal like this you're not going to be able to continue the same loop for however long you want. You'll need something like the Boss rc-3 loop station. But still, the loop function on this pedal can loop some great sounds for a bit, with feedback control up especially. I think it's great to have a looping and reverse function on a delay pedal. The more you can do with one pedal the better.

[@jamess7333]

Any chance you (or anyone in the know) could elaborate on this a bit? Why wouldn't the loop continue indefinately on the flashback? Or did you mean that you cannot add as many layers? Also, if you could give some recommendations for a looper that would be great - I am currently looking at this, the ditto x2, the digitech hardwire dl-8 and the Boss rc-3. I was initially drawn towards the flashback and hardwire as I don't have a delay pedal, but it seems that you can't use delay and loop simultaneously with either of the models, in which case I would prefer the pedal which works most efficiently as a looper. How does the TC ditto x2 fare against the Boss rc-3? And are there any other similarly priced loopers worth looking into? Any help would be much appreciated as I am getting treated for my birthday next week and I want to make the most of the opportunity :D

[@jamess7333]

James S Also, I am hoping to be able to create loops in irregular time signatures and ideally be able to remove particular layers at will. Is this possible with any of the afforementioned models, and if so, which ones? Tempo tap would also be handy. Basically my prime concern is to choose the pedal which is most versatile at building layers, bonus effects and programmed drums are a nice bonus but secondary in importance. Thanks for any help!

[@iagobroxado]

Really cool demo.

[@Rolovillagra85]

Hi! Thx for the video!. I got a Lanikai CK-TEK Ukulele and I'm starting to play along live with 2 voices. (Some reggae and jazzy songs) What pedal would you recommend me to get first? I was thinking in the TC Hall of fame, and then a good Delay; or do you think the FB (or any other delay) should came first? (Don't have the money to buy both now) Im still in doubt, cuz I can still record in my PC with tons of effects and delays. Will appreciate your answer, thank you!!

[@johanivarsson4639]

Great reveiw! How does the audio taping works?

[@aki_gong6271]

Is there anyway to loop with delay applied, or even looping a signal that has delay applied to it?

[@bennylabenze9668]

Amazing video, great demonstration and explanation. The light on mine won't even go on anymore, I've only had it four days, for a moment it was working, but i couldn't hear it through the amp, I did check to make sure my amp was working and it still does. Now i switch the battery still no lights; there might be something I'm doing wrong; I'm not technologically sound either, honestly. Anyway, as of right now, no lights on the FLASHBACK at all looper or any other setting, please let me know if you have any suggestions or guidance on this device I should know going forward. Thank you.

[@Ripprock1]

Did I hear america eats it's young. Whos' album stash did you sneak into.

[@danpd1921]

Which it's better, flashback delay or vapor trail delay?????????????

[@AndryVasyluk]

you forget about audiotape, very cool feature......

[@mikh84]

Thinkin about getting one of these getting a bit dissatisfied with my Line 6 Echo Park, I already own Hall of fame reverb by TCE

[@ReignofMercury]

Hey there, great demo! I was just wondering if you could start the loop again after stopping it, or is the loop lost completely once you stop it? And how many seconds of looping time does this pedal have? Cheers!

[@nightowlnativeflute9496]

I think I found what I’m looking for. Thanks

[@williamratcliffe7833]

How do you turn the tap/strum tempo off on the v1? It worked great but now every setting has the same tempo.

[@Jack-ce7pu]

Can you loop with effects on or not?

[@NStuffMusic]

Negative..

[@davekash1]

I believe hes asking if you have the ability to loop while using delay

[@PaulTheSkeptic]

Can you do the delay and the looper at the same time?

[@PaulTheSkeptic]

***** Yeah, I bought one. I don't really like it as a looper very much. Not long enough. Get's the job done when you're in a pinch though.

[@larsvankoningsveld6179]

Lol

[@elmeromero6559]

hi ur info video is very helpful but I got a big doubt If use the TAP TEMPO mode many times can I spoiled or damage it? I'll appreciate ur reply t-you bye =)

[@carbonbased7291]

exactly, that was what I wanted to tell you! :D it makes quite a neat noise. but what I experienced with the Boss DD7 is that is actually became quite a sharp crescendo and I definitely want that! Did you manage to do that on the Flashback as well?

[@Jesperadoo]

Exactly where is 300ms of delay on the knob? A bit under the D of the "Delay" print?

[@gibbynikmusic9633]

How did you not show the tempo set feature?

[@cezarsantana]

does it have a tap tempo function??

[@seanfullertonmusic9885]

Cezar Santana....Yes, but not by actually tapping the switch. Hold the footswitch down, and strum the rhythm you want, then release the footswitch. That's how it works with this pedal. :)

[@NStuffMusic]

It is a Digital pedal that has analog voicing presets. It's a great delay very transparent sounding. $159.00 at nstuffmusic.

[@ScoobieSwisher7413]

I wonder what it sounds like with distortion.

[@hanneshertach8013]

What's that song at 2:20?

[@lukekennedy152]

+Hannes Hertach "Where the streets have no name" by U2

[@ritzenhauf]

the manual says double-tap is supposed to empty all the looper memory, but i can't get it to work :/

[@fernmatic]

can you be using loop and have the Delay working at the same time ?

[@thecliftons4384]

Nope

[@SaldeCodillo]

does anyone know if you can have delay effects on while your creating a loop?

[@WalterMusic]

Nop. I wanted that too.

[@jasonchavez3080]

Salde Codillo 2 of the same pedals?

[@NickGuitarMalfara13]

would you say its better than the carbon copy?

[@varethika]

can you save the loops you've created through the usb ..?

[@marco06061994]

Is it digital or analogic?

[@KilledTheFixtion]

Is it just me or is it really hard to get the loop function in time?

[@gmmc_central]

It's because it wasnt onthe floor so he had to press the switch as fast as he could with his finger. If it was on the ground it would be perfectly in time

[@froydian9185]

Can't loop and use delay at the same time. Line 6 DL4 is worth the higher price.

[@ysayesound4346]

Thanks for this info - needed to know that

[@Circletakesthejake]

ya thats a big problem thanks

[@nichtimmer9134]

Need no price, have payed 000$€ ...muhaha ;) ...present from a friend who get it and dount need it, but its an guitarplayer like me!

[@cmvb]

see the ditto looper by TC

[@gabrielkroger]

Hit the like button at 3:20 for Maggot Brain

[@jesterraj]

how u tap tempo ?or set the delay to the music u wanna play

[@larrystreich5628]

How would you set this to get a David Gilmour "Run Like Hell" sound? Anybody??

[@tonirazz5565]

Larry Streich If you want ANY specific sound have a look into the TonePrint libary first. I'm pretty sure you'll find it there.

[@vanshipman]

Anyone have any thoughts on this pedal vs the Echoplex pedal?

[@megaFINZ]

I think the dynamic mode explanation is not very clear. Effect is quieter when you play louder and it's louder when you play quieter or stop playing.

[@mass627]

Does it has tail when switched off ?

[@paulbishop2161]

+mass627 Yes, if you use it in buffered mode. In true bypass mode it does not, of course. There's a dip switch inside that allows you to switch between buffered and true bypass.

[@mass627]

Paul Bishop thank you!

[@jeffreyjohnson4400]

DEMOS TAPE DELAY with Funkadelic's Maggot Brain at

[@loorik09]

i need to know how to set up my boss RD20 XL can you make a video?

[@taurushamilton2739]

Maggot Brain Yess!

[@icu469]

The pedal does not work with a 9 volt battery. Why did TC even put a 9v battery compartment in it if it doesn't work.

[@RonZabrocki]

Big problem I found is you cannot change the tempo with a tap without it shutting off your volume! Great sounding pedal but a deal breaker!

[@brunoluznunes]

Thank you so much for your comment. It help made my decision. I think a Boss DD7 might be the right choice

[@RonZabrocki]

Bruno Nunes I went with the Visual Sound Tap Delay. Incredible sound. Easy to use. About $160 and it has the tap tempo feature built in. The Boss units require a separate tap pedal to work that function. I couldn't be happier. Nothing fancy but killer sound.

[@elmeromero6559]

Ron Zabrocki hi I got a big doubt If use the TAP TEMPO mode many times can I spoiled or damage it? I'll appreciate ur reply t-you bye =)

[@alexandersasha3265]

Volume pedal should fix that?

[@jrszacker04]

nice

[@mathieusimard]

can you use looper and delay at the sametime? ex. loop a delayed guitar sound by the tc

[@chaconwillburnu]

Any bassist in Cali?

[@danbrown4606]

Maggot brain 👌

[@cool794613852]

Shane from the Walking Dead plays guitar????

[@dimsimsareyum]

3:12 MAGGOT BRAIN!!!

[@zjeeper9]

I think this guy like U2.

[@bullacio]

looper doesn't have a volume level control

[@wittayanormalbasicstudio5079]

If it can tap tempo on real times ,It's Best.

[@tonirazz5565]

Wittaya Sreewilai from what I know it works a little different: you press and hold the switch, then play quarters on the guitar and the pedal will track you. Not guaranteed, I read that in a review.

[@chancewatkins5071]

Very nice. Thanks for sharing; Jesus Christ Bless

[@icu469]

My flashback pedal gets some nasty feedback if I turn the level and feedback up to much. Also it will not change from dotted 1/8 notes back to 1/4 notes without unplugging the power. Also does not work on 9v batteries. Great sounding delays but I'd look elsewhere due to the things I've mentioned. Sorry TC Electronics but u guys really need to solve these issues.

[@NicolasMcLoughlin007]

Great pedal but...not tap tempo. What a pitty

[@rush2795]

MAGGOT BRAIN

[@NStuffMusic]

+rush2795 Everyone can use a little Funkadelic in their life..

[@rush2795]

N Stuff Music awwww yeah

[@rcduvall77]

Rush2795....Think back to when you started playing...I'll bet you were too scared to ask these questions. It probably took you 2 years to figure it out cause you were scared to ask the obvious questions, MAGGOT. You are just a coward and bully hiding behind a computer screen!

[@NStuffMusic]

Slow down there for a second, pal. Maggot Brain is a song written by Funkadelic. Take a few seconds and practice some due diligence before you start a tirade on someone. You must work for the media..

[@rush2795]

Randy Duvall just google maggot brain Mr Duvall

[@whereismymind2047]

take the close up on the pedal, thats common sense dude

[@nicomoreno8763]

MAGGOT BRAIN!!!!!

the looper is a gimmick, can't set the duration
