Lately, it seems like the stomp-box world has focused on building a better delay pedal, with dozens of contenders offering powerful new effects. While a few traditionalists have steadfastly clung to the analog realm, the most significant progress has taken place in the digital-modeling world with delay units that offer accurate reproductions of tape, analog and digital delay effects, and much more.
The TC Electronic Flashback X4 is a significantly expanded version of the company’s acclaimed Flashback Delay stomp box, providing an impressive selection of delay effects, a dedicated looper section and the benefits of TC’s TonePrint technology. About four times the size and seemingly four times as powerful as the Flashback Delay pedal, but less than twice the price, the Flashback X4 promises to deliver exceptional value to delay junkies who want it all (and more).
