TC Electronic Flashback Delay

[@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.

[@JohnnySaltine]

There's no better way to start off a video than Transdermal Celebration! Hats off.

[@ProGuitarShopDemos]

Good question. The delay signal only gets added to the dry. The analog dry through prevents any changes to the level/tone of the dry signal. If you want to cut out the dry completely, there is an internal switch for "kill dry"

[@voodoochili12]

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

[@carrivera93]

It's actually kind of an odd feature on this one, you hold down the bypass switch for 2 seconds then you mute the strings and strum the tempo in. Don't know how they thought of it, but it's a little tricky to get down

[@wezzlyn]

I'm digging these TC Electronic pedals a LOT.

[@Anghorn32]

bought the flashback, and im really glad i did! the looper is no longer the prime use of this pedal as i intended, i didnt tought that the delay effects would sound this nice

[@bloodySunday77]

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

[@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.

[@heyitsmister]

ween - transdermal celebration

[@HiMyNameIsJacky]

A flashback with a preset option would be perfect!

[@joeytruelove]

I would say the interface of these toneprint pedals is easier to get your head around since there are no multi-layer menus, just four knobs and a switch. Then you wouldn't have the ultimate control or programmability of the Nova - unless of course you start making your own toneprints, that you can do with a computer program available from TC Electronic.

[@primusfan7]

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

[@bckachelmuss]

Props indeed. It sounds like Andy's take on Transdermal Celebration.

[@ladukie69]

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

[@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 =)

[@mikh84]

Bought one of these 2 months ago, havent regretted it, also own the HOF reverb & there is a TCE sticker included with a pedal so I stuck one on the back of my Dano 59, form of advertising!

[@KleyDeJong]

oooh very excited about this line of pedals

[@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.

[@DJHallertau]

I just got this pedal from a friend to borrow can't wait to fire it up. And whata coincidence that WEEN just sadly broke up and this Badass is jamming to Transdermal Celebration. BOOGNISH for life!

[@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

[@TacooGrill]

@greendayfan19 i'd say the boss dd-7, just because the dd-7 has tap tempo abilities. this does have more features, but tap tempo is very useful

[@kingpinboogie]

Andy, your playing has greatly improved! Thanks! Great demo!

[@onwun4292]

3:38 4:45

[@000MidnightSun]

andy, you have a great taste in music!

[@tonyk21463]

Don't know if it's still relevant but before you change p/ups check the pots and capacitor in your guitar. Good quality pots (cts are excellent) and a paper in oil cap can go a long way to improving your sound and the range of tones available from even cheap p/ups and will be a lot less expensive than new p/ups.

[@analogasmr]

4:05 "Blame It on the Tetons" by Modest Mouse

[@AndreMuerteCocos]

A postrocker MUST have!

[@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....

[@w1wang]

Nice delay and thanx for all of these great videos PGS! you guys have really helped me find my "perfect setup"!

[@Theseventhknight]

blame it on the tetonnsssssss @3:48. never heard it with a ton of delay, but it works pretty nice.

[@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?

[@spakuloid]

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

[@SilverSkyline92]

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

[@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!

[@everonlyallforthee]

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

[@VirtualAve]

Aaaaaand, this just killed Boss' DD7

[@gokolink]

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

[@TesserId]

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

[@J3DWAB]

This is beautiful, I must get one!!

[@MrSlash90210]

Whats better? Boss DD7 or the Flashback? And why? I don't know, which one to choose...:/

[@poichai]

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

[@Guitarisforgrins]

@mean0machine0 It's Modest Mouse.... forget which song though.

[@monkymonk6]

Got the G.A.S. for this thing like crazy!

[@ak2112]

@SenorHammyHams It's Transdermal Celebration by WEEN

[@TheZatrahc]

love the amount of Modest Mouse he plays

[@pizzapie4me]

I'm in the same boat but not for a delay pedal. I desperately need to replace mine, but I want new pedals too.,,

[@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

[@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!

[@GuitarGeek693]

@greendayfan19 i have the dd-7 and it's a good pedal but i would buy this just for the dual delay with quarters and dotted eigth notes cause i like to do u2 style stuff. this pedal seems alot more versitile, and it's true bypass. with the DD7 you have to hold the pedal for 2 seconds before using tap tempo just like with this (except you tap the guitar on the flashback) and that can get a little annoying while playing live. with the dd7 you can get an external foot switch so there's no holding

[@iagobroxado]

Really really liked it .

[@SeeMick1]

Watch part 2 of the demo. basically, you hold down the footswitch for two seconds and then hit the strings.

[@lynch7]

What kind of cables do I need for pedals? Do most people make them themselves or buy? Which ones are they using in this vid?

[@U2935]

good for U2 stuff since the edge uses a 2290

[@niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick]

cool pedal for the bedroom rocker

[@tannerrutledge6490]

Anghorn32 if you have ever heard of the rc 3 it is a looper by boss a great one. I have an rc 3 and it has lasted for about 4 years so far and has gave me no problems but you if dont want that I would probably get the tc flashback because I rarely loop something that is over 40 seconds long and it has many more features but it is your choice hope you find what your looking for

[@JohnDCvlog]

@fendermac really? this pedal and their nova series pedals sound just as good as it looks in my opinion! :D

[@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.

[@lucasfnelson]

I think it is "Blame it on the tetons" by Modest Mouse, but I might be wrong

[@ChadWorthman]

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

[@Freeptom]

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

[@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.

[@MQRED011]

So does this not do the self-modulated crazy runaway spaceship noises thing?

[@alejo2564]

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

[@FenixBG]

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

[@frankgodon]

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

[@SeeMick1]

It means that it's emulating how the piece of tape would be read twice so you get a double repeat.

[@liamzuid]

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

[@gdrugg2006]

Is the audio tap function weird? I'm considering this pedal but I dunno, maybe a traditional tap tempo would be better?

[@uhgvitybvouv]

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

[@jblambert23]

I think it's Blame It on the Tetons by Modest Mouse.

[@sgmusic88]

@TacooGrill the flashback has audio tap tempo...

[@Quatano93]

Will knobajustments work during the spillover after turning off the pedal?

[@nymetsrock]

this. well, if you dont already have a delay. Pickups help a lot, but unless you really have trashy ones I wouldnt stress TOO much over them

[@GuitarGeek693]

@greendayfan19 --- so there's no holding witch is nice. i don't think that's an option with this pedal whitch might be a little annoying but i think this will replace my dd7 still. seems like the better pedal to me...

[@harriheinsoo]

Hey, nice demo! Is it possible to mod the TC Electronic Flashback Delay so that I could save the presets? Thank you!

[@frankgodon]

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

[@salmonline]

Invisible Sun... nice one.

[@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

[@longlaceflairs9155]

1st song Transdermal Celebration by Ween! Awesome.

[@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?

[@MNGuitars]

invisible sun!!!!! wow. awesome!

[@guidodispinzieri8913]

Please i need to know the song in the intro :(

[@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!

[@middle_pickup]

How does the audio tapping work?

[@zrobertez]

@almdudler91 It was Blame it on the Tetons by Modest Mouse!!!! I first heard that song this morning! It's wonderful!

[@Vaerco]

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

[@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

[@Hazel1312]

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

[@KrisMWest]

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!?

[@TheFunnyzach]

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

[@tamtszyau1988]

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

[@zacharycrow92]

can this do the crazy oscillation stuff that the mxr carbon copy can do?

[@gdrugg2006]

It depends on what guitar/pickups you're playing.

[@jmoarch]

@frankgodon Transdermal Celebration by Ween Awesome choice Andy!!!

[@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

[@CAPT4INSL0W]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@benbrown4544]

@ProGuitarShopDemos How would someone engage the audio tap setting?
