This delay is just crazy. :-) I personally pity a bit that I bought Flashback X4 because its looper is kinda useless if you have Ditto already (I did) and it doesn't have subdivision making your tempo faster (eights/16th) for cases when it's just crazy hard to tap it. Of course X4 is good, but I don't know what it has and this one doesn't. :-)
I have had this delay for a month now and was just thinking of selling it to get a timeline. This has ingnited a whole new inspiration! You showed me what I was missing out on in a pedal I already owned! Your demos are literally perfect. No longer do I have to sift through minutes of talking. this is groundbreaking. Also, I never thought of the modulation/tremelo toneprint preset thing. Truley impressive. Keep doing it.
Dude, I've just come across your channel, but I totally fell in love with your videos! Really peculiar style and awesome reviews/demos. You definitely helped me make up my mind on the delay I'll add to my first analogue pedalboard (yep, it's this one). Cheers!
Jeez, now I'm gonna have to go out and get this pedal too. This is the second knobs video that I watched and went out and bought the pedal. You guys are going to make me broke. But I love your videos so much!
abracadaver KNOBS I bought this pedal a few days ago and it's really amazing. I think it will be replacing at least one of the delay pedals I'm using now, if not more. Who needs money when you can just stay at home and play music all day long! Thank you guys and TC Electronics!
Knobs do you have the setting for the 3 delays for the part where you're explaining the series/parallel switch? Great job on these demos, will you do any od/distortions?
oh my, once you switch to parallel, it becomes a downpour, like the kind of downpour you would see outside a window, and the sound is all different. Beautiful.
I was just thinking to myself "this would be perfect for me if it had MIDI sync" when I looked up the back panel Can't believe a pedal so fine tuned to my needs exists
I got mine last week and I'm delay heaven...wish there were more memory slots cause I keep coming up with all kinds of awesome delays. Just did a track with the ambient pads and rhythms and a guitar solo using the triple delay. Tap delay worked great with the drums and bass locked.
That was so much more than a pedal demo. It really captured the mood of a distant memory, like a fadied Polaroid picture.Thankyou. TC Electronic: i will not buy this however. Only because I see how a ”Triple Delay 2” version could fix a few small qwerks and be brought into line with the Flashback 2 line’s way of doing things. When than happens (and it must) I will be first in line for that one. So thanks in advance for that. :-)
so_hypd Yeah, it sounds soooo good, and damn these sounds are inspiring.... and that's coming from us, who thought we knew the ins and out of this pedal, but Knobs just opened an entirely new sonic dimension :)
Hi Knogs, great videos you have guys! :D love it, I hace a quesiton on the 4:01 the sound comes from just that one pedal or is another one working at the same time?Thanks in advance for your answer, !! once again guys you rock!
GUy guys I need to ask you. Im too high to figure it out from video. but is this pedal like this? delay 1 A B C different save-able presets delay 2 A B C different save-able presets delay 3 A B C different save-able presets is it? please tell me it is...
I have this pedal and love it 😍 but can anyone help me solve the live problem of no global tap tempo? Has anyone solved it? Has anyone purchased the midi tap tempo? If yes then which one? Disaster Area SMARTclock or Molten Voltage TEMPODE? or ???
Wilder Buchananhorton Tap tempo controls all the delays.. if u have all 3 engage it will set your desired tap tempo for all 3.. Should be same wether in parallel or series..
You should start a pedal museum. I'm sure you've allocated a museum's worth of pedal related gear. It would be something to be behold by any audiophile especially if made to be interactive in some state/way.
can someone confirm this: I've heard that with this pedal the global tap tempo doesn't work well. it only affects channels that are active meaning if a delay is off then you can't set the tempo to it and then turn it on. not sure if i should buy this or 2-3 individual delays
Just fire up all the three delay engines tap the tempo and then switch off one by one and then when needed switch them on again I think that way they will have the same global tempo
@Knobs: Hello! Hey, I have a quick question if you don't mind: I've recently purchased a Flashback Triple Delay. But I've noticed that, specifically with the Reverse Delay Type, there is no change whatsoever if I move around the Subdiv Knob; however it does work with all the other Delay Types and even the TonePrints. Do you know why this might happen?
gasp ! how much does this "magic box" cost ? When will it ever stop ?!??😀oh to be rich/crazy enough to buy one,. ..love it tho' and, as usual a superb demo from KNOBS👍🏼 🐂💨💨💨💨💨💨
Unfortunately the units delay engines aren't midi switchable (on/off). That's a pain and a fact that is rarely being addressed... This is sad because midi switchers are becoming more and more affordable and truly practical and innovative. Using a G-lab GSC 4 I can't turn on and off the 3 delay engines via midi and that will be the reason I will have to sell the Tripledelay for another unit with midi switching ability...
Ioannis Tziallas yes - TC Electronic really missed an opportunity with this pedal. It's sad that they haven't even tried to fix some of the lacking issues with a firmware update or anything.
FWIW - TC does listen to input from customers. They made some solid improvements on their flashback delay with the flashback delay 2, so I'm guessing while this triple delay (which I just bought used for cheap) is a bit of a shit show in terms of functionality, will get a V2 version in the coming years that we can all get excited about.
scottiboi1983 why shit show i have this pedal ,its a great sounding pedal,very versatile,love it.Im not biying anymore delay pedals o have enough and the Triple delay sounds fantastic IMO.TC should learn not to make V2 of each of their released pedals,hqve yoy heard Strymon to make BlueSky 2 or Timeline 2 no they release at least new pedals with different names but not V2 .Anyway the Triple i think wont be updated,its complete in the spirit of TC,theres an exp pedal input so this Mash technogy i guess will be reserved for their smaller pedals
I loved the sound of this pedal when I owned it, but that dang 1 2 3 switch was so flimsy I was worried I'd break it at one if my shows. other than that, it was great. they should have really made it with a multi preset bank instead of only 3 save locationd.
But does is credit my purchase of the ill promised and poorly engineered X4, tempo killing, letdown? You know....the one that doesn't know how to get along with itself and laughs at expression pedals?
Probably the most inspiring Triple Delay demo we've ever seen!
DRoy He's definitely discovered his own way of doing things :) Always a pleasure to hear and behold his demos.
This delay is just crazy. :-) I personally pity a bit that I bought Flashback X4 because its looper is kinda useless if you have Ditto already (I did) and it doesn't have subdivision making your tempo faster (eights/16th) for cases when it's just crazy hard to tap it. Of course X4 is good, but I don't know what it has and this one doesn't. :-)
+TC Electronic It is the best I've "heard" because I listen with my ears, not my eyes!:D
This is my delay pedal from heaven...
+TC Electronic How does this one differ from the Flashbackx4 ?
This is the best pedal demo I have ever seen. Crying does fix things.
Crying detoxes the body, built up toxins are released threw tear ducts
your videos are like watching a sunset on the beach with good friends
bears this is so accurate
I've got one of this and although now I have no money, I feel rich and full of ideas... :_)
thnx TC
Pedro Venegas-rodríguez awwwww, thank you so much, man! :)

Seriously, solid job. Most intriguing pedal demos visually and technically I've seen//heard in quite some time.
I came here for the pedals, but now I just keep watching because of your videos. They're awesome!
This it's the best demo video I have ever seen. It is so beautiful.
Not even 2 minutes into the god damn video and I am convinced that I need this.
best delay demo ever
pure artistry
I have to say, Your demos are extremely good.
Visually probably the best I've seen.
Keep up the good work.
You guys are artists.. thanks for the great videos!
The sparkle blue finish is so cool
Best shortstory ever told!
The crab! You gave me triple flashbacks to the Animation Festivals in San Diego...!
These Knobs videos are amazing!
What an amazing production.
Dude, I've just come across your channel, but I totally fell in love with your videos!
Really peculiar style and awesome reviews/demos.
You definitely helped me make up my mind on the delay I'll add to my first analogue pedalboard (yep, it's this one).
Cheers!
I've watched this demo dozens of times. Bought my own today.
wow. this is my favorite pedal video of all time. thank you
Jeez, now I'm gonna have to go out and get this pedal too. This is the second knobs video that I watched and went out and bought the pedal. You guys are going to make me broke. But I love your videos so much!
abracadaver Sorry :(
It's ok! I still love you guys!
abracadaver KNOBS I bought this pedal a few days ago and it's really amazing. I think it will be replacing at least one of the delay pedals I'm using now, if not more. Who needs money when you can just stay at home and play music all day long! Thank you guys and TC Electronics!
abracadaver Hey!!! So glad you're into it. Enjoy the wash.
Knobs do you have the setting for the 3 delays for the part where you're explaining the series/parallel switch? Great job on these demos, will you do any od/distortions?
oh my, once you switch to parallel, it becomes a downpour, like the kind of downpour you would see outside a window, and the sound is all different. Beautiful.
For the longest time I believed that the Flashback x4 would be enough for me. Now THIS?! You have to go and show me THIS?!
It's why I sold my X4... :p
But no looper though. Do you find the 7 second delay is good enough to work as just a riff looper if needed?
Best demos on RUclips!
Everything you guys do is amazing! Yes!
I wish I could like your videos more than once
'We've retired to a life of ease'.
After hearing this, it sounds like I'm listening to a life of ease.
Beautiful. Nice one, Knobs and TC Electronic.
Sounds like the Afterlife.
Really nice videos! Especially with the graphics. Taking it to the next step!
I was just thinking to myself "this would be perfect for me if it had MIDI sync" when I looked up the back panel
Can't believe a pedal so fine tuned to my needs exists
How’s the midi sync? Does it work with subdivisions?
I've plopped this pedal on my board without really getting into it.. Well until I watched this.. Thanks Knobs, great video
Great video. Much of the music here sounds like some of the great ambient electronica producers.
I was gonna go this or Strymon DIG. I'm so getting this now.
This is just absolutely stunning :)
Please keep doing what your doing.
Loved the video!
beautiful. absolutely beautiful
I got mine last week and I'm delay heaven...wish there were more memory slots cause I keep coming up with all kinds of awesome delays. Just did a track with the ambient pads and rhythms and a guitar solo using the triple delay. Tap delay worked great with the drums and bass locked.
Gonna have to just get a memo book to save your musical discoveries in. I do this constantly with my volcas along with photographing settings.
That was so much more than a pedal demo. It really captured the mood of a distant memory, like a fadied Polaroid picture.Thankyou.
TC Electronic: i will not buy this however. Only because I see how a ”Triple Delay 2” version could fix a few small qwerks and be brought into line with the Flashback 2 line’s way of doing things. When than happens (and it must) I will be first in line for that one. So thanks in advance for that. :-)
Beautiful video
@Knobs What amp, guitar and recording equipment are you using? Always sounds so amazing in these videos!
because of you guys i ordered the black fountain 2 weeks ago and now this,
YOU
CONSUME
MY
WALLET
Wonderful intro, quite inspiring actually.
so_hypd Yeah, it sounds soooo good, and damn these sounds are inspiring.... and that's coming from us, who thought we knew the ins and out of this pedal, but Knobs just opened an entirely new sonic dimension :)
What do you use to record these videos? You're great! Tender and inspiring.
does knobs use a looper pedal for this one? or is it guitar - tripdelay - amp?
This pedal has been my bread and butter since sticking it onto my board.
Hi Knogs, great videos you have guys! :D love it, I hace a quesiton on the 4:01 the sound comes from just that one pedal or is another one working at the same time?Thanks in advance for your answer, !! once again guys you rock!
Does anyone know how well this pedal works with a bass guitar?
Have you played the Walrus Bellweather? I'm not sure whether to dive into that or this Triple Delay,...advice??
This is a required product!! So versatile.
which specific toneprints did you load for modulation?
Your playing is great
Wow great demo
fuking love your videos! and I wish I had time to watch them all :'(
is it true that this clips like mad if any type of distortion, fuzz or over drive is turned on?
Hey knobs will you ever review the tc helicon T2?
I love you.
The cutest damn guitar pedal demo ever.
Should I go with this or an EQD avalanche run?
GUy guys I need to ask you. Im too high to figure it out from video. but is this pedal like this?
delay 1 A B C different save-able presets
delay 2 A B C different save-able presets
delay 3 A B C different save-able presets
is it? please tell me it is...
fantastic, might buy one now
+SineRider bought it and love it so far
What amp do you use ?
I have this pedal and love it 😍 but can anyone help me solve the live problem of no global tap tempo? Has anyone solved it? Has anyone purchased the midi tap tempo? If yes then which one? Disaster Area SMARTclock or Molten Voltage TEMPODE? or ???
Question, does the tap tempo control all of the delays? Or just the one selected?
Also does that change in paralell or series?
Wilder Buchananhorton Tap tempo controls all the delays.. if u have all 3 engage it will set your desired tap tempo for all 3.. Should be same wether in parallel or series..
Thank you!
Do i need one - after watching this - YES,YES,YES ! ....without further delay....
this or the echosystem?
Enjoyed this video! Lol
You should start a pedal museum. I'm sure you've allocated a museum's worth of pedal related gear. It would be something to be behold by any audiophile especially if made to be interactive in some state/way.
Best effects peddle ever

Just fire up all the three delay engines tap the tempo and then switch off one by one and then when needed switch them on again I think that way they will have the same global tempo
Loving the demo but you could've gone to the effort of a stereo setup. Ping pong?
Does it do delay tails? Meaning, if you press the button while the delay is going, does the delay continue to go until it fades out?
no..
almost a poetic demo ^^
Ohp! So, Knobs is a midwest joint?
i can't see these DIP switches after removing back cover has anyone seen them? thanks
Hey TC Electronic, this may be unrelated, but release a Ditto X4, please! Need a good looper...
@Knobs: Hello! Hey, I have a quick question if you don't mind: I've recently purchased a Flashback Triple Delay.

self-oscillation?
It's my birthday in three months so hopefully I will be getting this
Please make a demo of the Grand Canyon Delay and Looper by Electro Harmonix. :)
Mine doesn't do that! (Turning off a slot and then turning on it again and the delay keep sounding :( )
I see you playing that Album Leaf melody
Those "reverb" sounds, a bit Aphex Twin 🤤
4:01 😍
gasp ! how much does this "magic box" cost ?
When will it ever stop ?!??😀oh to be rich/crazy enough to buy one,. ..love it tho'
and, as usual a superb demo from KNOBS👍🏼
🐂💨💨💨💨💨💨
I want TC electronic to release an Alter Ego X4 with triple delay functionality. Aw yiss.
Why mono?
Unfortunately the units delay engines aren't midi switchable (on/off). That's a pain and a fact that is rarely being addressed... This is sad because midi switchers are becoming more and more affordable and truly practical and innovative. Using a G-lab GSC 4 I can't turn on and off the 3 delay engines via midi and that will be the reason I will have to sell the Tripledelay for another unit with midi switching ability...

It has ping pong delay?

That part at 4:28!
WOW
Jesus all these amazing pedals and me with no money for any of them
great review, now where's my card....
please make Fractal fx8 demo
*kisses cheek*
Still a better love story than Twilight.
5:56 hotline miami soundtrack :D
But does is credit my purchase of the ill promised and poorly engineered X4, tempo killing, letdown? You know....the one that doesn't know how to get along with itself and laughs at expression pedals?
So much want
Same chord to start with every time
I hope buy it before die... :(
