TC Electronic - Hall of Fame & Flashback 2

[@luckyphilster]

Good to see Knobs demo something that's not a ring mod, multi synth, 50 dial, made in the backyard of an Alaskan recluse that's worth $50000

[@steveclavers6757]

you'll take what you get and like it

[@christianc9409]

Philip Taylor he somehow manages to take the most brutal and sputtery fuzzes and makes them relaxing somehow

[@josephwright5921]

I hate ring modulators!

[@javiceres]

Philip Taylor :B

[@jean-marcknight8816]

🤣😂

[@christianc9409]

Thanks for showing how these would sound if I'd use them. I don't play blues licks and outdated hair metal

[@Robert-dt3is]

Right?! Every freakin demo video is like some metal/blues lick

[@OHHnoYOUdidntMAN]

preach from the mountaintops haha!

[@THEQueeferSutherland]

This.

[@stuartlovinggood3797]

Hey, it's Andy with Pro Guitar Shop Demos

[@dreamofwaking702]

Andy is a God though

[@THEQueeferSutherland]

I'm not a babyboomer. I don't have middle-aged white man blues. I don't wear dad shorts. I don't have a beer gut and I don't care about Stevie Ray Vaughn. So thank you for making a video of how pedals sound in actual usable situations for guys like me.

[@Knobs]

You're welcome. Don't sleep on dad shorts though.

[@THEQueeferSutherland]

Knobs Dad shorts are fine...just not on stage.

[@boykeschaafsma1117]

You don't need a beer gut to care about Stevie. I know plenty of young guitarists that love him.

[@Aardvarked88]

"I'm a hipster" would have sufficed.

[@factckzone7533]

Okay, but 'douche' would have sufficed... :P

[@elgoogkcuf]

just got the hall of fame 2 yesterday. loving it so far.

[@Pablo_25593]

I just came back from seeing Opeth, Mastodon and System of a Down at the Download. I was looking for something to help me sleep peacefully and suddenly this video appears. Thank you, Knobs!

[@purpleholsterz]

Pablo255 that's a fucking sick lineup dude!

[@AndyAcker]

Holy WHAT!!!!?! Epic night.

[@XiyuYang]

I don't think TC themselves can do a better demo. Also, finally something on this channel that I can actually afford!

[@joellebrodeur1015]

They showcase how amazing these pedals are. They're "sleepers".

[@frenchguitarguy1091]

The best video for these pedals by far

[@trantienlinh1979]

Yes ! Matching red-blue 3" connecting cable ! ! ! ! Total best !

[@josephwright5921]

As a synth guy, I appreciate the synth in the middle. Please add just a little more!

[@reedpeterson6512]

Great demo and explanation of both pedals. I use a very simple pedal board (tuner, wah, compressor, equalizer, and noise gate into the front of the amp; chorus, delay, and reverb in the FX loop), but these two pedals make it extremely versatile. (It's a lot of fun to just mess around and see what kind of crazy sounds I can make!)

[@polishbroadcast]

Fantastic run-through and gorgeous playing. I've not heard anything as unique or wonderful as the Church setting on all the TC reverbs (Trinity, HoF, Arena). Even the Big Sky and Space can't quite get there.

[@TheBrandonLewis]

Knobs has the best video production on KZbin! They look like Wes Anderson and That Pedal Show had a baby. I play both guitar and synth, and this has become my favorite show.

[@robertusmaximus42]

Amazing. You make me go from not caring about a pedal, to practically throwing my money at the company... as if TC hasn't gotten enough of it already.

[@bitronicc1887]

These two pedals really are a treat, I took a chance on them last winter without doing any prior research and have been very happy with the results. Only minor nitpick is that they're digital rather than analog, but they process analog to digital back to analog well enough that it's worth it. Plus they're stereo, true bypass, and are designed with enough headroom to handle line level signal, which is great if you're wanting to do outboard work from your DAW without having to reamp back down to Hi-Z. All in all, they're the highest quality two pedals I own, other than the TS9, Big Muff Pi Wicker and the Swollen Pickle.

[@MicahBuzanANIMATION]

Very happy with my Flashback. Getting ready to get the Hall of Fame. These are a match made in heaven.

[@wspeed657]

Possibly the best video of these 2 pedals. Thanks

[@QuangPham-kx3re]

You make some of the calmest yet most detailed pedal demos out there!!! Please keep it up as I can’t wait to see more from you!

[@DUSTdevils]

Knobs, you are becoming one of my favourite places to visit later in the day... it is a place that is always comfy... thank you.

[@fakerju]

TC Electronic are preety cool cubes also for synthesizers purpose. I am using that rev with Korg Minilogue and I think it`s excellent.

[@amphitheatre]

i need another vid with these two! i wanna see double mashing with both active.

[@fresnel110]

How did your album project turn out?

[@Knobs]

I haven't had a bundle of time to work on it, but it's happening. It's probably best to forget it exists and then I'll surprise you one day

[@TheOneVictor]

Knobs I feel like that's the ultimate best approach to that situation XD

[@davmakesmusic]

@@Knobs crap I forgot it existed until I saw this again >:(

[@SimonTheMagpie]

No behringer comments yet? Fuck money :D

[@havardf9411]

Heeeeeey Simon

[@vasilshkutov2890]

Just got Flashback 2. Long, joyous days ahead.

[@thekramer1097]

Have you tried it with an external tap tempo? Is it true that just can be used in mono with that option enabled?

[@i6g7f]

@@thekramer1097 this is true, but determination of the right "Delay" is not that problematic in my eyes. "Feedback" low, "Level" max, whiling pulling a string on the guitar with the beat of the song template, adjust with "Level". You soon will hear good and bad "Delay" settings, so this way, no tap-in device is needed and Flashback 2 can use the stereo signal input. I've learned that via software turning the mash button into a set-delay-by-tap button should work too.

[@oceandwell]

I am terribly hungover and this is soothing my brain like nothing else can. Like balm, your videos are.

[@oceandwell]

Honestly, whatever you're playing 8:15 onward, makes me feel like weeping.

[@Knobs]

I get the emotional hangovers too

[@lzryd]

Most excellent demo. So glad you did it in stereo. A+. Love both pedals. I think HOF 2 with mash and editable? Easy win at that price point. Not a fan of recent TC stuff. Huge fan of my TC transitions, TC Petrucci Chorus/Flange & TC Paul Gilbert Mojo Mojo Overdrive...set to 11. Good quality in that era of TC. *enters Aural not Oral dream sequence* So now the stereo part of the signal chain is going to be: Old Big Box Catalinbread Stereo Semiphore with tap tempo depth gain and like 7 wave forms. Into TC Hof 2...from this video... Into Tc Transitions (not very different than Flashback 1.0 )... set to Ping Pong... Stereo Out into Roland JC120, JC77 and/or an orange dark terror into 4x12 with celestions. Chorus on one amp. Maybe Vibrato in other? Set to complementary speeds. Warbleville. I can already hear it. Im imagining a swirling vortex that would scare Johnny Marr shitless with a Cat5 Faux TurnTurnTurnado. Then add the overdrive section is going to physically move people with it live. Hopefully. Detroit.

[@javiersepulvedavergara944]

What a beautiful sound

[@zdude335]

loved the synth break

[@raviolitrail]

Awesome video! Dont forget the stereo input on the flashback 2 also serves as a tap tempo input.

[@alex_lgrd]

Yo the music was so lit

[@NoUploadJustComment]

I'd love to see some more mainstream pedal brands on this channel. Really great stuff as always.

[@frenchguitarguy1091]

Yeah Electro-Harmonix have plenty of amazing pedals, attack decay, ring thing, 8 step etc that need these kind of demos to truly make them shine. Too many rock licks in a lot of other videos

[@brandonvu5429]

I would love to see a video of improv your favorite pedals/personal pedalboard.

[@EnterEscape]

Pedals that would be nice if Knobs demoed, since I'd probably never get my hands on them: smallsound/bigsound Pretty Years Merris Ottobit Jr. Lightning Wave Astro/ Doom/ Ghost (and cv control them) WMD Protostar/Geiger Counter Pro Endangered Audio Research Spectravibe (and cv control it)/ AD4096 mkii Walrus Audio Vanguard Dual Phase Moog CP-251/ FreqBox/ MuRF Subdecay Starlight DLX/ Quasar DLX (the purple one)/ Prometheus DLX Dreadbox Epsillon/ Kappa KOMA Elektronik BD101/ FT201 Vermona Filter Lancet Patchblocks

Didn't know Wes Anderson made pedal videos!

[@NoOne-ye5jf]

I wanna hear what this setup sounds like: Flashback > HOF > Flashback 2nd in > HOF 2nd in > amp

[@paolo-1283]

NoOne try mooer ocean machine by devin townsend. you can stack multiple reverbs and delays in any order

[@douglasrobertodacosta]

Awesome video. It made me want to upgrade my Flasback to 2, and pick up the Hall of Fame instead of another reverb. Added to my Corona and Polytune Mini, almost just TC on my pedalboard. :-)

[@yegorm6748]

got shivers at 6:48

[@archbox8593]

Wow 😀 the Audio to this Video was so chill and cool sounding. Well done 👌🏻

[@LeonTodd]

The Wes Anderson of pedal demo videos.

[@diegolaio]

That Synth break!

[@ArleyMcBlain]

this demo sold me

[@HeyItsLollie]

The relocated speakers were my biggest concern about this new redesign, and it is a bummer to see that concern confirmed. On the flip-side, the removed parallax barrier on the upper screen and the relocated MicroSD slot is still enough to make me consider upgrading from my current N3DS-XL. Decisions, decisions.

[@rayg3116]

SOUNDS GREAT! Love your demos.

[@jeromemeyer3512]

Best channel ever for pedals thank you !

[@omninuss6847]

That intro sounds super weill suited for sampling in some trap instrumental, I really like it altough its super simple.

[@tomcordellmusic]

the synth break is moist

[@ETILHK54]

I would be interested in seeing HOFmk2 against relatively recent MXR reverb.

[@ndd1220]

Knobs, you can somehow make any pedal sound amazing and relaxing. What sorcery is this?!

[@DCondricvideos]

This is just crazy! Woooow!

[@gebhardmeilinger8578]

Yeah...this is my favorite garden-set. And KNOBS is my favorite fx-channel. ( I am tired of high-speed-killing-music-guitarists with white socks.....)

[@joellebrodeur1015]

Truth!🙌. Knobs is the best. I watch their demos repeatedly.

[@grahamkelly8299]

I think its only a matter of ''time'' before these two pedals become legendary. tc are the best at this stuff especially for the price and flexibility.

Nice playing! Thanks for the video:) Very helpfull;)

[@kurtholloway7102]

Musicians would have paid $50,000 for this in 1984...

[@Mark_Bayer]

Was it really that tough tonget these sounds back then?

[@Dudemeister]

But what happens when you hold the Mash for more than 1 second? Do they just get uselessly loud and intense?

[@Knobs]

Think of Mash like an expression pedal, not an oscillation button. You set the intensity with the pressure you put on it.

[@8-TrackCustomAudio]

What guitar and amp do you use for your demos? Your clean tone is always so easy on the ears.

[@id3072]

In the comments of an older video he said he uses a Danelectro guitar. I don't know what amp he uses. He said it's a cheap one.

Usual pedal demonstrations are rife with unnecessary overdriven shredding whereas this was perfect 👌 also the video itself was mad, good work!

[@ManivOleg]

I have first versions of both pedals and they're great, but now I want both of 2nd version. whatever, first versions are also good

[@JakeRose7]

Damn I just bought both earlier this year, wish I had known to hold out for v2

[@patagonianratz]

Well looks like it's trade - in time for you, buddy

[@funkyfurballs1078]

Yeah, the flood of great reverbs is a bit overwhelming... I thing the HOF2 and Polara are bargains...

[@rblyle382]

Funky' Furballs I nabbed a polara and are waiting for a flashback 2. That combo should be sicm

[@mazklassa9338]

The signal is boosted way too noticeably in volume when the mash is engaged. Defeats the purpose imo. Should be subtle entry into the soundscape. Also, does the background signal remain wet once the mash is engaged?

[@kimhansen6384]

It can be changed in the Toneprint Editor.

[@lepanzon]

I want them both

[@leewenrui]

dude i love the format and style of your videos, wish someone would do similar for bass pedals

Sandwedge Dan haha i would if someone send me money to buy pedals to demo

[@leewenrui]

Sandwedge Dan but hey, maybe ill try for the few pedals i do have.

The best demos are the ones that have good tones for not a lot of money. Camera audio is a bitch tho.

[@yudaman231]

[@KidHellacious]

Really cool. I hate that when I get a delay pedal that I'm really stoked on, 5 years later it's almost outdated with what kind of crazy stuff is coming out today :(

[@JoshCottrell21]

Love TCE I have theie Hall of Fame Mini and Corona Chorus pedals. I'm now thinking it may be time for an upgrade to the HoF2. I just got an MXR Carbon Copy though, so I may have to hold off on the Flashback. But dang... Nice sounding pedals.

[@MichaelEliran]

What TonePrint settings are you using?

[@Knobs]

All stock Toneprints that the pedals ship with

[@LauraSquirrel]

Some very pretty sounds in there.

[@theycallmejpj]

RIP Gate reverb - we hardly got to know you

[@dani1punch]

yoo the gate was one of the best things about my old HOF

[@rblyle382]

theycallmejpj I'd assume that one of the toneprint slots could still be used for gate.

[@cmath8577]

The gate rev in HOF was not really all that...I wish it had a reverse verb though dam

[@chitarragenova]

I thought I needed better ambient pedals bc TC electronic are too standard, turns out I just don't know how to use them. Too late bc I ordered a Walrus Slo. Anyway, great as usual mate

[@flynn_22]

Not sure weather to get the flashback or the avalanche run

[@arrangearrange]

Flynn Hanbury Tenison I think AR is really cool but you're much, much better off getting a true verb and separate delay unless you can't get away from swell and some other things on there. You'd be amazed what you can come up with using a nice verb and delay way beyond AR

[@arrangearrange]

Flynn Hanbury Tenison I wouldn't go TC necessarily tho.

[@robertmailloux3720]

Is there an infinte mode on the HOF 2 aside from stepping on the mash?

[@steveclavers6757]

[@splattercakes101]

What guitar are you using in these demos?

[@Knobs]

Danelectro Dead on '67

[@kimhansen6384]

Amazing pedals, I have a lot of them. Not sure if I will update them to Mk. II. I have no use for the Mash, but like the 3 Toneprint slots, and maybe the upgraded algorithms.

[@44Jovis]

hey sorry if im being a moron - but i recently got a flashback 2 and am having this issue where there is no dry signal when the pedal is on. I have done every combination of the dip switches (kill-dry) on the back and nothing seems to sort this issue. returned the pedal and got another and had the same issues! starting to feel as though i'm going mad. can anyone help a hapless soul out?

[@cartergriffin8755]

wish they had mash for the t2 reverb, I think it would serve better purpose there

[@savanaviolenta]

I don't think so it's too modulated reverb anyway you won't need making some silly unusable sounds with this shittie mash switch it'll get you bored very fast especially on the a flashback 2 this oscillation emulation how many times you gonna use it in a song I mean really just think of it better get an exp pedal and the bigger brother X4 or the Triple delay

[@Deeplycloseted435]

All of the TC verbs and delays are the same under the hood, just with different presets loaded. So you can make any and all T2 presets on the HOF2.

[@theboofin]

Ha, just bought this pair today.

[@bisaleethonger4756]

Better to get these two or the Plethora x5 please any comments please.

[@rocksoff731]

Apparently it's a crime to like blues or be a dad? I hope you guys know how cliche you sound. I love the blues and rock music but also jazz, folk, country, and experimental guitar as well. It's called having an open mind. I just recently started experimenting with ambient tones by stringing together my delays and reverbs. Knobs, you are awesome. I am hypnotized by your demos.
