General

TC Electronic present a worthy successor to the first version of the Flashback X4: the Flashback 2 X4 with MASH function! Now, you can push the 3 delay presets even further than before with a simple stomp on one of the footswitches. Naturally, the looper has ben kept on-board and lets you record up to 40 seconds of audio. Next to the usual studio quality delay effects, TCE have packed the new and improved Flashback with the Crystal delay. Inspired by and based on the popular Sub 'N' Up's polyphonic octave algorithm, this lush-soundin effects helps you create sparkling soundscapes.

The Flashback 2 X4: MASH & Tap Tempo

While you'll be mainly focused on your fingers moving across the fretboard, the footswitches of this TC Electronic pedal open up a large number of options to keep the delay in check. By holding down one or more of the MASH footswitches and applying pressure, a specified parameter for every delay can be extensively controlled. There's a tap tempo footswitch to adjust the pace in real-time if needed, while the Global Tempo mode sets all of the delays to the same speed settings at once.

Modulation Engine & Six Slots For Custom TonePrints

Next to the Crystal delay and looper, the Flashback 2 X4 is home to 8 delay presets that TCE-fans will undoubtedly already be familiar with. It goes without saying that the stompbox offers the possibility to load in TonePrints via a USB cable or smart device. You can find the six custom slots using the Mode button and, when you download the TonePrint app via the TCE website, you'll find that each delay sound can be tweaked to taste before you add it to your arsenal of effects. Thanks to the newly added Modulation Engine, it's even possible to include flanger and chorus effects in these user presets.

Subdivide & Sync

Just like its widely acclaimed predecessor, the Flashback 2 comes with an extensive and potent feature pack. Not only can the level, feedback and delay be accurately set using the 3 right-most pots, the Subdiv button allows you to choose between 10 note values and your custom subdivision. MIDI IN and THRU connectors let you sync up the tempo to that of external devices and, in addition, you're free to toggle true or buffered bypass and switch the cleans on or off at will using the controls round back.

TC Electronic Flashback 2 X4 Delay & Looper Stereo Effects Pedal
Wrote the following about TC Electronic Flashback 2 X4 Delay & Looper Stereo Effects Pedal
Dit pedaal van TC Electronic is waarschijnlijk één van de meest uitgebreide delay pedalen op de markt. Het geeft je een enorm scala aan mogelijkheden wat betreft delay-profielen, variërend van een simpele short-delay, of slapback, verschillende mogelijkheden voor shimmer-delays tot aan zelf oscilerende echoputten, met of zonder aanvullende modulaties daarop.

Een belangrijk detail is natuurlijk dat je in feite 3 delay pedalen naast elkaar hebt, die ieder een eigen preset kunnen bevatten, zodat je gedurende een nummer ook verschillende delay-profielen kunt gebruiken om je geluid een extra dimensie te geven. Om de juiste symchronisatie van je echo's te creëren beschikt het pedaal bovendien over een selectieknop voor de maatverdeling en een dedicated tap tempo footswitch. En dit pedaal heeft ook nog een ingebouwde Looper, wat wil je nog meer?

Het is in het begin wel een ontdekkingstocht door alle mogelijkheden heen, maar als je er eenmaal in thuis bent, geholpen door de mogelijkheid om het pedaal via een USB computerverbinding te programmeren, kun je helemaal los gaan op de enorm uitgebreide mogelijkheden.

Bij iedere preset is het ook mogelijk om de 3 footswitches te gebruiken in "Mash" mode, wat eigenlijk betekent dat het een soort mini expression pedal wordt voor 1 van de parameters van het betreffende delay profiel. Erg leuke feature die leuke dingen mogelijk maakt. Als de expressie in de Mash knoppen niet precies genoeg is, biedt het pedaal ook nog de mogelijkheid om een externe expression-pedal aan te sluiten.

De afwerking van het pedaal is van hoge kwaliteit en het back-panel met de vele aansluitingen ziet er indrukwekkend uit. Dit pedaal is namelijk voorzien van stereo in- en uitgangen, MIDI in- en uitgang en tevens de al genoemde aansluiting voor een expression pedal.

De ingebouwde looper is goed en makkelijk te gebruiken, doordat je aparte knoppen gebruikt voor record, play en ook een play-once optie om je loop nog 1 laatste keer te spelen. De lengte van de loops is beperkt tot zo'n 40 seconden, dus als je echt uitgebreid wilt loopen zoals bijvoorbeeld Ed Sheeran, zal jet daar een dedicated looper pedal voor willen hebben, maar voor kleine loops, die verder wel binnen die 40 seconden eindeloos gelaagd kunnen worden is hij prima bruikbaar.

Als ik dan toch 1 kritische noot zou moeten hebben op dit pedaal is het zijn formaat. Aangezien het eigenlijk 3 delay pedals en een dedicated tap tempo footswitch naast elkaar zijn is het pedaal behoorlijk groot. Op een pedalboard neemt het dus een flink deel van je ruimte in beslag. Die afweging zal je wel moeten maken.

Let op: Bij de productsepcificaties staat nu (2-3-2023) onder afmetingen: 138 mm x 101 mm x 60 mm
Het pedaal is echter een stukje groter, namelijk 145 mm x 235 mm x 56 mm
