Flashback 2 X4 Delay and Looper Pedal Review

Great delay

This is the most user friendly multi delay I've used. Much easier that the also awesome Boss DD-200. The really crazy thing is the cost. I got this as a Black Friday deal so I basically got 6 flashback 2's (and a tap tempo) and a looper for the price of one single Flashback 2.

Awesome and powerful delay for the money

I am a worship guitarist so I need delays ranging from spacey ambient delays to slap back or other rhythmic delays. I have found multiple delays on this unit thag work amazing, my favorite is the binson tc tone print. Now I did read multiple bad reviews concerning the unit not properly saving presets or reverting to the factory preset when switching from one to the other. I experienced… read more that for myself and was a bit frustrated until I realized it was all user error and could possibly be something that should be included in the user manual. If you click the toggle to save the led will blink and it will save your settings.... maybe. If you hold the toggle to save until the led stops blinking it for sure saves and I haven't had an issue since. I hope that helps any other users that are having that issue.

Great sounds. Lacks proper documentation.

There's not a bad sound in this pedal but I must deduct one star for being told WHAT the pedal can do rather than HOW to do it. I already knew it would sound great the question was always how good and easy the Toneprint editor was going to be. It has tweaks for days but never tells you how to transfer an edited Toneprint to a preset footswitch. It can't be done until you disconnect… read more the editor from the pedal. Then you can store the Toneprint to a preset. Without this knowledge you'll be bending over all through your gig rotating a knob to the different Toneprint slots. The rest of the editor is fairly intuitive but there's lots to figure out for yourself that could have been easily explained. The online videos don't even scratch the surface and the downloadable instructions are little more than a quick start guide. The Mash thing is cool and useful but the parameters assigned to Mash are all or nothing and values are not editable as they are with an expression pedal. The Toneprints from the stars are not editable and they are all disengaged when your expression pedal is all the way heel down. Not good. But the TC library of Toneprints are editable and a good place to start to customize your own TPs. Several times while gigging I found a delay to still be happening after I had stepped on the preset footswitch to cut the pedal off. I had to rotate the effect selection knob to something else for the delay to stop. It was like the pedal kept accessing a delay from the selection knob even though I was just using the 6 presets.
