DYNAMIC
Imagine you had someone turn up the volume of your delay pedal
as soon as you stop playing for a second... and turn it down again
when you resume playing.
Why not let the Flashback X4 Delay & Looper be that someone?
That's what the "Dynamic" delay type does. It's especially useful
for fast solo parts where you don't want the delay repetitions in-
terfering with your playing.
2290
Once upon a time... (i.e., back in 1985) TC Electronic released the
2290 Dynamic Digital Delay. It set the bar for professional delays
for years to come and is still held in high regard among delay en-
thusiasts.
Use the "2290" setting for the most crisp and clean delay you can
imagine. This is the standard.
2290 W/MOD
Take the 2290's pristine sound, send it through three (!) chorus
pedals... et voilà. If you're into the sound of The Edge, you don't
want to miss this setting.
Oh, and while you're at it, try playing around with the
Switch.
SELECTOR
SLAP
A delay type for all things country – but you can also use this for
many other genres.
Use this setting to get your rockabilly on and pay homage to the
rich staccato heritage of Brian Setzer, Chet Atkins and Scotty
Moore, or as an alternative to reverb.
LOFI
Fed up with hi-fi? Try the "Lofi" setting to get that dirty feel.
From punk to rock – play around with the knobs, but no matter
what you do: It ain't gonna sound pretty.
PING PONG
Like the ball in the eponymous game, the delay repeats jump from
left to right (provided you're using both outputs for a stereo sig-
nal). The effect is really wide.
Ping Pong is a lot of fun to play around with in stereo – but it
sounds great in mono, too.
