Simple Control Layout

To craft the expression of your delay/looping settings, the Flashback offers delay, feedback, effects level, and delay/loop settings controls.

10 Different Onboard Delay Settings + Looper

Your Flashback's bottom right control knob gives you 10 different delay settings to play around with, as well as a loop setting to loop some licks. Some of these settings include 2290, analogue, tape, lofi, slapback, modulated, ping pong, and other settings. With all these modes in conjunction with your knobs, the Flashback gives you truckloads of sonic possibilities that'll read more keep you busy exploring for hours.

True Bypass Configuration

The inner circuitry of TC's Flashback features a true bypass configuration, which is an often overlooked characteristic of pedals. A pedal without a true bypass will cause your signal to lose a little bit of its original integrity while it passes through when the pedal isn't engaged. This baby's design will keep your signal full of its original character without any loss or unintended change.

Cool Audio Tapping Control

This feature allows you to set your pedal's tempo by strumming your axe. This switch can be set to three separate settings -- eighth note, dotted eighth note, and eighth and dotted eighth note together. This switch is located right between your Flashback's delay and feedback controls.

Download TonePrints -- Get Your Favorite Artists' Delay Sound in a Flash

The setting all the way to the right on your Flashback's mode selector control knob is the "TonePrint" setting. TC has worked with some of the most well-known guitarists in the world, capturing their delay settings to be downloaded right into your Flashback pedal. Each setting is transferred to your pedal via a USB cable or TC's smartphone app for iPhone or Android users. Featured artists include: John Petrucci (Dream Theater), Paul Gilbert (Mr. Big), Steve Morse (Deep Purple), Ron Bumblefoot Thal (Guns N' Roses), Doug Aldrich (Whitesnake), Orianthi (Michael Jackson), and Guthrie Govan (The Aristocrats).

TonePrint App for iPhone and Android

TC Electronics launched the groundbreaking TonePrint concept earlier this year. Now, a truly mind-blowing technology adds fuel to the fire of creativity and flexibility.

The smartphone app compiles all TonePrints for their TonePrint enabled guitar pedals in one place and allows you to beam TonePrints to your pedals in a matter of seconds. The idea behind the technology is as simple as it is ingenious: Each TonePrint has been converted to a unique-sounding magnetic impulse that you can beam via your smartphone's internal speaker, through the pickup of your guitar and directly to your TonePrint pedal. The sound does not carry any data so it doesn't matter if you are in a raucous arena or a library no other sounds will interfere with the data being sent from your smartphone.

How It Works

The app contains all TonePrints which means that you dont need an internet connection to beam TonePrints. Simply place the smartphones speaker close to a magnetic guitar pickup when beaming, and it literally only takes seconds for the app to perform its magic. Best of all, the TonePrint app is completely free of charge.

TonePrint App Main Features

- Beam any TonePrint in Seconds.
- Fast. Flexible. Intuitive.
- Completely Free of Charge Not Based on inApp Purchases.
- Cached files No Internet Access Required.
- Browse TonePrints by Pedal, Artist or Featured.
- Collect Favorite TonePrints for Super-fast Access.
- Constantly Updated with Amazing TonePrints.

Why an App?

When TC Electronic launched the TonePrint concept, they knew that they eventually had to come up with a solution that made swapping TonePrints easier. Most guitarists have their pedal board in a rehearsal space and their computer at home. Some may have brought a laptop, but the process still needed to be made faster and more intuitive to really take advantage of the great potential that this artist-driven concept has to offer. They are extremely proud to present a super-flexible solution that allows all guitarists with TonePrint pedals and a smartphone to truly explore the ever-expanding list of great and unique TonePrints created by some of the best guitar players in the world. Now great tones and tons of musical inspiration can be beamed and enjoyed on-the-spot as well as on-the-fly.

The TonePrint Concept

TC Electronic offers five TonePrint enabled guitar pedals that allow you to upload custom tones created by some of the best guitarists alive. These artists had access to any effect parameter imaginable not just the ones represented by physical knobs. Therefore, TonePrints sound just the way each artist wanted the pedal of his or her dream to sound like.

Most of the time I have the TC Electronic Flashback Delay set to snapback. But if I need to, I can get all kinds of echo and delay. The pedal is quiet and sonically delightful. True bypass so the pedal doesn't affect the sound when not engaged. I think this is the best delay pedal in its price range, and better than some that are far more expensive.
