The brand new TC ELECTRONIC FLASHBACK 2 X4 DELAY with Black Spirit 200


Loaded with tone-shaping tools





Flashback 2 X4 includes a dedicated Tap switch to keep your delay effects right on the beat ? hands-free. You can select from 10 preset note subdivisions plus one custom setting, which are independent from Flashback 2 X4’s 10 delay types. The way this delay pedal handles your dry signal is also unique, giving it an all-analog path that blends with the effected signal. On top of all these great features, Flashback 2 X4 also includes TC Electronic's TonePrint technology, which allows you to download custom delay styles made by some of today's top guitarists.





Six TonePrint slots to customize your delay





TonePrint-enabled pedals, such as TC Electronic’s Flashback 2 X4, allow you to use the TonePrint app to download custom-designed artist presets. You can also use the TonePrint editor software to create your own custom settings. Flashback 2 X4 allows you to load up six different TonePrint presets simultaneously for more flexibility onstage. When you need instant access to your tone, just choose one of the six TonePrints you've loaded and away you go.





Three MASH footswitches for expressive effects





Three innovative MASH footswitches give Flashback 2 X4 amazing creative potential. In addition to instant toggling between delay sounds, these pressure-sensitive footswitches can be used in a similar fashion to an expression pedal. Use them to swell the delay mix, bring modulation to the repeats, and even increase the feedback amount. Or assign other parameters to the MASH footswitches for even more sonic creativity. The guitarists here at Sweetwater appreciate the level of creative expression Flashback 2 X4’s MASH footswitches provide.
