TC Electronic Flashback Mini Delay

Buy Now: goo.gl/4mmkDg
Next we’re looking at the powerful yet compact Flashback Mini Delay from TC Electronic. This TonePrint enabled pedal allows you to tap into the same high quality delay tones as the bigger Flashbacks but with just the bare essentials. Browse TC’s TonePrint Library to find hundreds of delay tones created by pro guitarists which spans from pristine 2290 tones to LoFi analog echo and even experimental reverse delay. Just like the Vortex, Shaker, Corona and Hall of Fame mini, the Flashback Mini allows you to create your own presets via the free TonePrint Editor software. You can fine tune the available 7 second delay range to fit your needs and shape the tone and modulation just how you like it. Transfer TonePrints to the pedal via the pedal’s USB port or use the revolutionary Beam App to load the Flashback up right on the spot. The Flashback Mini still allows audio tapping, a feature that lets you easily match the rhythm with the delay time by holding down the switch and strumming. Plus, the analog dry-through signal path and true bypass switching ensures your pure dry guitar tone is never converted or altered as it leaves the pedal.

I love his ability to show every pedal for what it’s truly good for. He doesn’t just play his style or the guitar, he plays the pedals, and they sound damn good in every review!

[@jacoba4578]

Mine just arrived in the mail today, and I'm so happy with it. It's such an unbelievable pedal.

[@TheGospelGuitarist]

Something about that Les Paul is mesmerizing. Now with those pickups, wow. Nice unit to.

[@You2tuber1]

I really like TC Electronics, they have great effects.

[@berniekay50]

What a superb guitarist he is

[@SpecialistGuava]

Just got this pedal. Rebuilding my rig after years of not playing. This is perfect for me. And cant wait to check out some of Andy's prints.

[@rubenca5586]

Man I never thought I'd say this, but he's become one of my favourite players even though I've only seen him on review play through's haha

[@cuda426hemi]

I would love to see Andy tear into the El Capistan tape echo delay pedal - that thing is SICK and I've owned many old Echo-Plex' to compare to.

[@marklitton3872]

i'm digging the sound on that Troy Van Leeuwen song. Seems like an awesome pedal

[@jadgift]

great review mate, still updated jeje

[@doodleedledoo]

This is not clear to me at all. How many presets can you load into the pedal at any one time? If the answer is one, does that mean I need to beam a new preset into the pedal with my phone every time I want to change the preset?

[@savanaviolenta]

One

[@gabopalacios2028]

Yes. If you want to change your delay you have to beam a new one every time. I know it sounds like a deal breaker but trust me: once you've listened to almost every delay on the TC's library you get to love just a couple of them and you'll find yourself playing most of the times with just one delay sound. I had the Flashback x4 and most of my presets were the EP3 mode but different tempos and feedback

[@doodleedledoo]

OK cool thanks for that!

[@Richrichy1024]

What was the intro song played? I'm wondering if he took that from a song because that was amazing.

[@karlhenrikarendt]

TC Electronic products are awesome.... I will for sure buy the TC Alter Ego in near future! Still happy with my Flashback though!

[@steven_uk]

I'm afraid I strongly disagree. I bought a TC electronic pedal and it was faulty. I contacted TC electronics and their reply was short, glib, and didn't help. I would advise everyone to avoid TC products.

[@karlhenrikarendt]

There is no company without an unhappy customer :-)

[@karlhenrikarendt]

(Just return the faulty product to the shop where you bought it - according to guarantee etc.)

[@steven_uk]

Bought it while on holiday. Now I have to spend $25 sending a $100 pedal to Denmark to get fixed. Does that seem fair to you?

[@karlhenrikarendt]

As a business man I can understand that they can not pay freight to everyone who think they have a faulty product. Maybe 90% of those who think they have a bad product, actually just didn't understand how to use it correctly. I'm not saying thats your case. The procedure is that you give a faulty product to a shop where you bought it. Then they handle it with the manufacturer, and then return a fixed or a new product to you. When you buy it abroad, then its not so convenient to bring it back to them. I understand it's not a nice situation for you, but I think we are a lot of people who has tried to buy something abroad, and had some kind of an issue with it. I hope the 25$ won't kill you :-)

[@evilmonkey4410]

A review of the Red Panda Context Reverb/Delay pedal would be awesome! I've been looking at buying it, but a more "official" type of review of it would be really awesome. (I also notice that you have it in stock as well. ;D)

[@johnb4024]

[@louisdegrois8740]

What is the basic sound of the pedal, without the Tonerpint? Is it a digital type, tape, analog, etc...

[@ProGuitarShopDemos]

There is no 'basic sound' without a Toneprint. Think of the Toneprints as presets that firstly select one of the many modes -- analog, digital, tape etc and then the settings within them. The default Toneprint in the Flashback Mini is their analog delay with vibrato. Andy

[@louisdegrois8740]

@@ProGuitarShopDemos thank you so much!

[@NickCasale]

is it possible to load the "Space" toneprint from the X4 on this thing?

[@danieleduardochandeleon1572]

yep, with the troneprint software

[@gearzilla4112]

What if I don't want to mess w the toneprint/app stuff?..how many presets or sounds does it get on its own? Or do I have to use the app?

[@gabopalacios2028]

One. If you don't want to mess with TC's app you'll get just one delay sound. I'd say it comes with the 2290 delay sound stock

[@johnb4024]

What was the last song he played?

[@dmitritiidt]

Is it have a tap tempo function?

[@dangercat3000]

It doesn't. You hold the switch and strum instead. It mutes the signal. Convenient feature for a mini pedal, but not if you want to change the tempo on the fly.

[@jakollee]

I don't really see how the strum-tempo is any different from tap-tempo for on-the-fly changes; both take a few moments away from your playing, no?

[@jensenbell]

Andy, I'm still searching for the perfect single repeat that mimics Scotty Moore's tape echo in the back of the amp. That perfect delay time around 250 milliseconds... no slower than 300 no faster than 150... there's a sweet spot in there... you can hear it if you listen to Elvis' "baby let's play house". I love the tone of my Lovepedal Echo baby but I can't dial in that sweet spot no matter how hard I try. I can find it on my HARDWIRE delay (that I bought from PGS years ago!) but when you turn it off and on again it's the wrong speed... and the "clicks" on the time knob sometimes give you two wrong choices... sometimes not. Can you do a demonstration of a delay that can get that Scotty Moore tape sound and hold it's time? ... and is smallish.. I know I could spend $300 for a Strymon, but besides being a lot of money for a single repeat, it's bulky and big for such a small job. Maybe I'll write them and encourage an El-Cap mini. :-) - Anyway when something comes out that gets that sound, I'd love it if you demo'd it like a 1955 Elvis recording. - As always, Thank you!

[@downwithdixie]

I think their are specific toneprints made just for slapback (they narrow the delay range so you can find your sweet spot). Or just make your own toneprint and set the range from 150-250, bam!

[@downwithdixie]

downwithdixie *there

[@digipeet2866]

does it has a tap tempo???

[@ProGuitarShopDemos]

Great question! The newer Flashback 2 Mini has a Tap Tempo option within the TonePrint app. This here first version has Audio Tapping which sets the tempo by holding down the switch and strumming the strings. Both methods work well.

[@spencerwsmith]

what is the overdrive/distortion used around the 5:00 mark?

[@JAFOpty]

How many tone prints can you store in the pedal? One at a time? Awesome demo

[@CapeAlan]

Hey! I own the Transition Delay and you can use 1 toneprint at a time. So you'll pick out a toneprint, beam it through your pickup and that's the tone you'll have until you make an adjustment or beam another toneprint.

[@JAFOpty]

Alan Shickabunis Interesting, thanks for the clarification Alan!

[@JakeTheMDog]

Review the Big Sky from Strymon, that pedal is epic

[@BenChambless]

that would need a LONG demo. So much in that pedal

[@JakeTheMDog]

I know, I bought it maybe three weeks ago, but it feels like I've only seen 50% of it. It's really, really awesome!

[@jesterraj]

Does it have the spillover ?

[@pizzapie4me]

Raj Dann yes

[@lajaceta]

Is the flange sound coming from the delay pedal? Or a alternate pedal?

[@jakollee]

That sound doesn't come stock with this pedal, but many combination delay/modulation sounds can be downloaded from TC Electronic's TonePrint Library on their website.

[@brianthomason817]

I've read nothing but bad reviews about the TonePrint software, including several that say you can screw the operation up if not done properly. Anyone have any input on that?

[@savanaviolenta]

Nothing you say it's true.You can't screw nothing

[@gabopalacios2028]

Nope. False. The only issue is when you upload a new tone from the app and your guitar's volume is low, then the delay sounds like a lo-fi delay. That's it

[@AirMike61]

Die Einstellmöglichkeiten sind schon toll- helfen aber nicht auf der Bühne, wenn du etwas wechseln willst

I have both. As of right now I take the dd3 any day

[@savanaviolenta]

DD3 is very limited,on the mini flashback via the Toneprint editor you have a Huuuge amount of different delay types .Mini flashback anyday

[@BrettSmithDaniels]

I have a dd6, which obviously has more features. Done around 500 gigs with it and I love it. But this is smaller, and my board needs to be road-friendly due to the amount I gig. Everything is heading the computer software root anyways, so I'd say this.... Because you can always get 2, have the same amount of space taken up as the boss, and twice the options 😎

[@danyvaldi5596]

If there's no Andy Review then the pedal doesn't exist.

[@antonioalbares]

I tried to love this pedal but it’s just too digital, there’s no warmth, no tone decay, it’s just mindless perfect repetitions of what you played. I got myself a 50 bucks Mooer analog delay and imho it destroys this wonder of technology and human creativity

[@Prajnana]

Which Mooer do you recommend? Is it similar to the Donner Echo Square?

[@jasonwalsh8281]

You repeated the cliche, how original. Echo echo echo.

[@antonioalbares]

@@Prajnana I haven't tried Donner, but the analog delay is chea and great, there is also an ibanez mini delay that is as good. And if you want to pay more money, go for the mini Carbon copy. All of them, offer analog feeling to the delay.

[@costabotes9107]

Horrible tones.
