Power / Switching The Effect On And Off; Audio In And Out; Expression Pedal Input - TC Electronic Flashback X4 Delay Manual

Power / Switching the
effect on and off
Power input
To power up your pedal, connect a power supply
to its power input socket.
The power input socket of your TC Electronic
effect pedal is a standard 5.5 / 2.1 mm DC plug
(centre = negative).
Your TC Electronic effect pedal requires a 9 V
power supply providing 300 mA or more (sup-
plied). You may also use another 9 V or 12 V
power supply, as long as it provides 300 mA or
more.
To minimize hum, use a power supply with iso-
lated outputs.

Audio in and out

Audio inputs (stereo)
The audio inputs of this pedal are standard ¼"
jacks (mono/TS).
– If your signal source is mono, connect it to the
MONO in jack of the pedal.
– If your signal source is stereo, connect the ca-
ble carrying the left signal component to the
MONO IN jack and the cable carrying the right
signal component to the STEREO IN jack.
Audio outputs (stereo)
The audio outputs of this pedal are standard ¼"
jacks (mono/TS).
– If the next device in the signal chain has a mo-
no input (e.g. your amp), connect the MONO
OUT jack of TC Electronic effect pedal to the
other device's input.
– If the next device in the signal chain has ste-
reo inputs (e.g. another stereo effect pedal),
connect the MONO OUT jack of your TC Elec-
tronic effect pedal to the left input and the
STEREO OUT jack to the right input of the
other device.
Inputs, outputs and controls

Expression pedal input

The Flashback X4 Delay & Looper allows you
to connect an expression pedal (optional/not
included). Once you have connected and con-
figured an expression pedal, you can use it to
control one or more of the following parameters:
– Delay Time
– Feedback Level
– Delay Level
These parameters will be explained later in this
manual.
You can define...
– which parameter(s) you want to control with an
expression pedal and
– the parameter range to control.
Choosing an expression pedal
For use with the Flashback X4 Delay & Looper,
you'll want to use a 25 kOhm linear pot expres-
sion pedal.
Please note that a standard guitar volume pedal
has a 250 kOhm logarithmic pot and cannot be
used as an expression pedal for the Flashback
X4 Delay & Looper.
If you already own an expression pedal and you
are not sure if you can use it with the Flashback
X4 Delay & Looper, please ask your local vendor
or get in touch with TC Support.
