Flashback X4 Delay – Manual (2014-06-24) 9

Thank you for spending your hard-earned mon-

ey on this TC Electronic product! We have done

our best to ensure that it will serve you for many

years to come, and we hope that you will enjoy

using it.

Flashback X4 Delay & Looper

Flashback X4 Delay & Looper builds on the suc-

cess of TC’s popular Flashback pedal. It pro-

vides 12 delay types in pristine TC Electronic

quality, tap tempo and three preset slots for an

instant classic.

Flashback X4 Delay & Looper is TonePrint-en-

abled, allowing you to load up to four signature

Flashback delay settings as created and used by

the biggest names in rock – from Steve Morse

and Doug Aldrich to Joe Perry, Steve Stevens

and many, many more.

We believe that Flashback X4 Delay & Looper

offers the best sounding delay as well as enor-

mous flexibility within a compact delay pedal –

and we are certain that you will feel the same.

True Bypass

Here at TC, we have a simple philosophy: When

you are using one of our products, you should

hear something great – and if you don’t, you

shouldn’t hear it at all. This is why this pedal

sports True Bypass. When it is bypassed, it is

really off and has zero influence on your tone, re-

sulting in optimum clarity and zero loss of high-

end.

You will also be delighted to hear (literally) that

this TC Electronic effect pedal will let your dry,

unprocessed sound pass without ever convert-

ing it to digital – keeping your original tone pure

and without any latency. This feature is called

analog dry-through.

Sometimes, it is advisable to switch an effect

pedal from True Bypass to Buffered Bypass

mode. For more information, see “Switching

the pedal from true bypass to buffered bypass

mode”.
