I was wondering what people thought about these. I like my echolution 2 but am looking for something that is easier to change presets on. Everything I have read seems good but you can only tell so much from youtube demos.
tc flashback delay series.

Re: tc flashback delay series.
Yeah I literally can't find anything wrong with it. I want an Alter Ego version, if only because I like some of the weird and vintage delay sounds they have on it more than the ones on the stock Flashback, but other than that it's pretty much a perfect delay pedal. I currently have a Roland Space Echo toneprint on mine as a preset, and it sounds so amazing. I've never quite heard a delay tone like it. It's pretty cool that all of that stuff can be changed with just the touch of a button on your phone. I'm a big fan.

I have a Flashback, can't remember which model it is, but one with just one footswitch on it. It does what I like a delay to do, and it does it well. The looper is surprisingly useful and easy to use.

PGS has the Alter Ego X4 on stupid sale right now. I ordered one. Wasn't really in the market for another delay, but why not.

Re: tc flashback delay series.
The Flashback is absolutely phenomenal. I'm getting one as soon as I have the cash. It can basically do just about every type of delay imaginable. I already have an Analog delay for my leads, but I'm mainly getting the flashback so I can do all kinds of weird type delays, but more importantly, to get a delay with a much longer delay time. My Analog delay can only go so long.

Re: tc flashback delay series.
I love my Flashback. It can get you almost anywhere you need to go as far as delay. I downloaded a TonePrint of a "tape" delay that sounds smooth and a little wonky at th same time, and I swear I use that one 90% of the time - but there are many great sounds in this pedal.

Holy crap, y'all. The Alter Ego X4 came yesterday. It's so, so good. My Carbon Copy is officially for sale. When digital sounds this good, I don't need actual, for-real analog.

Re: tc flashback delay series.
I use the the Alter Ego version 1. I think it is a great delay pedal, awesome tones from it. The Echorec model is amazing. Covers my classic rock needs and then some. It'll probably be the only delay I ever purchase.
Just wish that version 1 had a better paint scheme.

Yep, with white letters on top of that color.

Yeah, in pictures at least, it doesn't seem like that would be especially easy to read.

I saw a standard (4 knobs, one button/footswitch) in the local big box music store today on the used shelf for a bill... Looked brand new... If it's there on Thursday I think ima grab something it... I love all the different variations available at the twist of a knob.

The only reason I didn't go with the Flashback / Alter Ego is because you can't control the depth and speed of the modulation. But other than that, pretty incredible sounding.

Re: tc flashback delay series.
I ended up going with the flashback triple delay. I don't need the looper and like the layout. I downloaded the tone print editor I like using it a lot. I have seen a lot of people talking about not being able to adjust the modulation on the pedal. But you can adjust it in the editor which is good enough for me. I also like how you can pick the type of modulation as well.

Re: tc flashback delay series.
I've used the Flashback, the X4 and now the Alter Ego and have enjoyed all of them. I move between the Echorec and DMM modes often; plus I just downloaded a Brad Whitford tone print that is just fantastic! Add in the tone print editor and you can't go wrong. Congrats!

Re: tc flashback delay series.
I've had the small version and the Flashback x4. Both are excellent pedals. Great ergonomics & pedal design. Decent support too, I had a problem with mine on one of the settings but a firmware update fixed it. Very durable. Stereo outs is a nice feature too, and I could not find a delay pedal that had a better reverse delay for the money. The reverse delay effect is really good on the X4.
