I have the flashback x4 it sounds great but you have to set the presets depending on the room as it is easy to go overboard with the delay mix because it sounds cool and use too much. My favourite settings are the Space Echo and Analog w/ Mod as well as a couple of toneprint I made using the editor I recommend it, it seems to be a bit warmer then other delays (at least based on videos as I haven't played a Strymon or Eventide) whether this is good or bad is personal taste .

With the flashback x4 and the triple delay you can have 4 toneprint. I owned both and liked the triple delay the best. They have the same delays I just liked being able to use 2 or 3 delays at once if I wanted. If you want the looper go X4 if not go triple.

To those of us of a certain age, the tc electronic delay models are pretty convincing recreations of the vintage sounds.

If you want to get picky, the simulations of multi-head delay machines ought to recreate all of the possible replay head permutations. This is why I do my David Gilmour impersonations via a Catalinbread Echorec.

I have the Alter Ego X4 and I can't say enough good things about it.

Re: flashback x4 and flashback triple delay

I have become a bit of a delay fiend Over time. I bought a boss DD7 years ago. I then got an MXR carbon copy as well when I needed to have two different settings at the ready for gigs. If I was buying a delay from scratch I would have just got an all in one unit like these TC units so I could have everything I needed in one pedal.

I'm a full-blown delay junkie. If you have some specific questions, shoot me a PM.

hi big flannel,

Does the Alter Ego do TonePrint?


Have any of you compared the bigger TC units to a Strymon or Eventide?

The Alter Ego X4 does feature toneprint. The toneprint editor software allows you to fine tune any of the vintage "units" (echoplex, Blue label DMM, echorec, etc.) however you desire.

I have not personally compared it to the Strymon offerings. Mainly because I don't feel the need to. I'm very satisfied with the quality of sound and features.

Should have gotten the Alter Ego x4 when they had them on sale for $180 or whatever....

Being a fan of Floyd, you'd love it.

I can say that with total certainty.

Re: flashback x4 and flashback triple delay

It's got a couple of Binson presets, right?

Yes, sir.

One is normal Binson fare. The second is based on a particular unit owned by one of the PGS guys that developed a weird phase-y modulation over time. Something about the spinning disk getting warped over time.

The second one is my favorite.
