An Even More Powerful Flashback

The TC Electronic Flashback 2 delay is an amazingly versatile delay effect in a compact, pedalboard-friendly stompbox format. Featuring eight amazing delays plus a 40-second looper, the Flashback 2 is leaps and bounds ahead of standard delay pedals, which typically feature only a handful of delay effects. Some of the highlights of the Flashback 2 delay include three spots for saving tones pulled from TC's TonePrint Library, a new crystal delay, and TC's groundbreaking MASH footswitch control. If you thought the original Flashback was powerful, just wait until you experience the TC Electronic Flashback 2.

Loaded with tone-shaping tools

Connect an external footswitch (not included) to set the Flashback 2's to tap in tempo hands free. You can select from three delay modes — eighth note, dotted eighth note, and both eighth and dotted eighth note together — which are independent from the delay style. What's more, the way the Flashback 2 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, the Flashback 2 delay also includes TC Electronic's TonePrint technology, which allows you to download custom delay styles made by some of today's top guitarists.

Three TonePrint slots to customize your delay

TonePrint-enabled pedals such as the Flashback 2 delay 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. The Flashback 2 pedal allows you to load up three different TonePrint presets simultaneously for more flexibility onstage. When you need instant access to your tone, just choose one of the three TonePrints you've loaded and away you go.

MASH footswitch for expressive effects

The innovative MASH footswitch gives the Flash 2 pedal amazing creative potential. In addition to toggling the delay effect, this pressure-sensitive footswitch can be used in a similar fashion to an expression pedal. Use it to swell the delay mix, bring modulation to the repeats, and even increase the feedback amount. Or assign other parameters to the MASH footswitch for even more sonic creativity.

TC Electronic Flashback 2 Delay Features:

  • Powerful delay pedal in a compact form
  • MASH footswitch technology puts expression control under your foot
  • 3 tone print slots for saving your favorite tones
  • New crystal delay tone
  • 8 delay types including the 2290-style delay
  • Quarter-, eighth-, and dotted eighth-note subdivisions
  • 40-second looper with infinite sound-on-sound recording
  • TonePrint technology gives you instant access to custom presets made by top guitarists
  • Optional footswitch (not included) lets you tap in delay times
  • Stereo I/O
  • Analog-Dry-Through circuitry preserves your analog tone
  • Easy single-screw battery access

Crazy Good

I have owned many delay pedals, digital, analog & tape. Mostly pricey boutique brands (you know the names). I recently put together a small practice board and needed a do-it-all delay pedal to save space. The Flashback seemed the perfect size & it gets a lot of good reviews so I gave it a shot.
I got way more than I expected.
The Flashback has several high quality delays rivaling some pedals costing twice as much. I'm talking about studio quality sounds here. I'm already considering one of the bigger versions for my live board.
The Mash feature might be a neat gimmick for some people but I will never use it. Just not my kind of thing.
I did not expect much from the TonePrint app but I was pleasantly surprised. I found not one, but TWO excellent Chorus effects (without delay). To me, these settings are worth the price of the pedal by themselves as I love some good chorus AND, this being just a small practice board, I wasn't even considering buying a Chorus pedal for it so... Bonus!
To summarize: This thing is crazy good. And an insane bargain. TC Electronics has a permanent place on my radar from now on.

Ambiance and more

I'm a big fan of digital delay to round out my sound and punch through the mix in just the right way. I play in worship where that expanded, "heavenly" kind of sound is just the ticket. So I lean hard on the Flashback's classic 2290 delay, medium wet with just a whisper of a 2nd feedback. Delicious and tone transparent. I've also used the Tone Print app to download tasty settings for an Edge-style plate reverb and a rockabilly slapback. And the footswitch Mash feature is a blast, turning delay into an expression! The Flashback 2 is a solid performer on all counts.

I use mine after pre-amp in the FX loop on my Catalyst 60, after MXR analog chorus and volume, just before the reverb. I find the 2290 is helpful to really open up the chorus when I use it.

I like tap tempo, and you do have the option through the software to trade in the Mash capability for tap. But I really like that Mash option for manipulation, so I appreciate that you can plug a tap tempo switch into the stereo input - I use a Source Audio switch which is tough and stage-worthy. If you go that route, you need to use a TRS cable and plug in only halfway into the Flashback (or get a specialized TRS cable).

Super Fun to use!

Lots of different sounds . Bright clear delays. Only two draw backs are 1. Loop is only 40 seconds long. 2. You can't use any of the delay effects over your loop. Other than that I am very pleased and would recommend.

Great Great Great Digital Delay!

TC Electronic's FlashBack II Delay is a great workhorse, jack-of-all-trades delay pedal. You get a plethora of settings based around classic delays, you get 3 settings that can be customized using TC Electronic's Tone Print technology, allowing you to use custom built settings from the pros or create your own! Did I mention, its also a LOOP pedal?! Love this peadal!
