    The TC Electronic Flashback X4 v2 is such an inspiring delay pedal that I was having trouble focusing while doing this review.
    The Flashback X4 is a delay and looper with some new cool modes not found in the previous version of this pedal.
    One of my favorite features on this updated version is that they added the MASH function on three of the footswitches. This gives the player endless possibilities for real-time expression.
    You still have in-depth programmability with the tone print editor app and tap tempo available to you at all times.
    One of the new modes are the Crystal delay, a shimmery type of delay and there are now six slots for your own tone prints.
    The Flashback X4 is probably the only delay pedal you will ever need!

    Just wanted to say thanks for doing a walk through on the x4. I have an older one and love it. Not many videos out there on it surprisingly. Was considering grabbing an expression pedal to hook to the exp jack. Ever tried it...worth it. BTW loved the secret society letter Haiku rules thing you did. Generally go with what I'm hearing around me while playing but if the band gets in a static rut it's nice to add to my trick bag to shake em up.

    Thank you for this excellent video. I just received my Flashback 2x4 and haven’t even plugged it in, but had almost no idea how to use it based on the manual that came with it. I checked out to electronics official video and it was very poor, but you explain step by step how it works. They should be hiring you or paying you for this. :) I’m still a bit unclear how to save and recall presets added. You went over this a little more quickly at the end of the video, but I’ll try it out today. Thanks again. Oh yes, your video is a couple of frames out of sync on RUclips for some reason.

    I've owned my Flashback 2 x4 for about a year now, and have only just started experimenting with TonePrints and storing my own "presets". Many thanks for clearing up one thing I found confusing: that the six preset slots are separate from the TonePrint slots... I got that right, didn't I?

    This might be a dumb question but when you used more the one delay does it give the same effect as 2 delay being stacked. Also can you use a tape delay for 1 delay and reverse delay at the same time

      Artifice 312 this if you need classic, basic delays and want to experiment with the pc editor and the MIDI capabilities.
      The Grand Canyon offers more strange, experimental delays out of the box, has a beautiful shimmer and THE ONLY LOOPER ever put into a delay pedal to ever make sense!

  • @mrbaiser4133
    @mrbaiser4133 3 года назад

    A real drawback is the fact that you can't make a preset with two independent delays in series. For example, I like to use an extremely short delay to fatten the tone, followed by a dotted eights note delay with modulation. The pedal has by far enough processing power to do that, it's a limitation that could be fixed with a software update. But that will never happen in this company.

    The mash effect is not usable. I've seen many demo videos on mash....it's ridiculous. Vomical. It does not augment or add anything musical to one's delay playing. There is no formal structure or development in the piece. Not sonically pleasing, but not interesting artistically. Otherwise great delay pedal!

  • @JCBigCat
    @JCBigCat 4 года назад +2

    1) if you’re rehearsing a delay maybe keep it audible, no sense in putting Level at 10 o’clock.
    2) would have been cool if you showed what Mash does on each setting
    3) it’s a thumb down from me but I’ll watch more videos from you
