had the generousity to add a “dry mute” function to the pedal, which means that it can easily be used in a larger looping setup, for instance on the Aux send of a mixer for adding an additional loop.Īs an echo/delay pedal the Flashback has plenty going for it, with full compliment of delay settings and no reports of “tone suck”. On the positive side, sound quality is excellent and there’s also one additional feature that makes this pedal attractive. There’s little excuse for this omission really, the feedback knob is still physically there…so minus points to T.C. Apart from that, the only other function is that a double tap stops and erases your loop.Įven when you’re overdubbing there’s no way to control feedback while looping, so for an evolving loop you’re going to have to go back to the echo modes. After that the switch takes you in and out of overdub. Press to start recording, press to end recording and start looping. This only has one switch (the main one) to control it, so don’t expect many features. Of course, main interest is the actual loop setting. As an echo pedal with 6 seconds of delay it’s already usable for some forms of looping, just dial in a longish delay time, a bit of decay, and start adding a few sounds into the loop. For someone just wanting to give looping a try this is an ideal unit at a very reasonable price.
