I still enjoy my tube amps, and still enjoy stomp boxes. So I recently picked up the TC Electronics Flashback Delay.
If I could pick one thing that put this pedal head and shoulders above others I have tried is the fact that it simply does not alter your tone.
Was using another high quality delay pedal, and while a good delay, the moment I hit the pedal I could tell simply by the change in tone it was on. Not the case with the Flashback.
They (TC Electronics) claim that there pedal leaves the dry tone completely untouched when there pedals are engaged. I'm not sure how that is possible, but I have to give them credit.
I can be mid note or chord and turn on the delay, and you can't tell it is on till you hear the repeat.
The delays themselves sound fabulous as well.
Liked the flashback so much when I went to get a reverb pedal went straight to there "Hall of Fame" pedal. Same thing. Original tone is unaltered.
LOVE IT!!!
If you still enjoy your tube amps and like some high quality stomp boxes, I have to give these two pedals major props.
I'm saving up for the Corona chorus next.
They have kind of had the same effect on me Fractal has. I'm so pleased with the Axe FX line I simply won't bother looking at anything else. Just not interested.
Was so impressed with the flashback and there ability to keep the dry tone intact, I'm not bothering to look at any other brands for these time based stomp boxes.
