A
nother of TC’s recent additions to its
‘Mini’ line of pedals is an updated
Flashback. As with its predecessor,
the Flashback II Mini relies on TC’s Toneprint
library to unlock the sounds inside its brain.
As such, don’t be fooled by the sparse control
layout - you get delay time, feedback and level
controls, plus TC has added its assignable
MASH footswitch. This allows you to use the
switch as a continuous control rather than
simply on or off . Ideal if you want to, say,
fade in the level of your repeats. With so many
sounds, the Flashback Mini is a delay fan’s
dream, and off ers amazing value for money.
I
f you’re looking for a no-compromise
solution, Source Audio’s Collider is
a bright, fl ashing behemoth of an
ambience solution. Combining the company’s
Nemesis Delay and Ventris Dual Reverb, it’s
home to fi ve delay types and seven reverbs,
128 presets, and a whole lot of control.
The Collider really does have you covered
for all outcomes - simple, yet great-sounding
room, hall and plates through to modern
shimmer and swell reverbs. The delay side is
no less limited, with the vintage ‘oil can’, tape,
analogue meeting reverse delay. If reverb and
delay are the cornerstone of your sound,
the Collider allows for some extremely
creative sonic experimentation.
