Flashback 2 X4 Delay

8 FLASHBACK 2 X4 DELAY User Manual
5. Operation
5.1 Signal chain placement
The FLASHBACK 2 X4 can be used several ways depending on your situation. While there isn’t necessarily a right and wrong use, here are the most common scenarios.
Example 1: Before the amp’s input
When using the FLASHBACK 2 X4 before the amp’s input, it is generally best to place it after your other pedals. If any stereo eects are used before the delay pedal,
you can preserve this stereo signal by connecting to both of the FLASHBACK 2 X4’s inputs and sending the output jacks to dierent amps or to a stereo input on a mixer.
Example 2: In the amp’s FX loop

The FLASHBACK 2 X4 input can handle a very wide range of signal levels thanks to
high internal headroom, and can easily be used with guitar or line-level signals.
Simply connect the amp’s Send jack to the the pedal’s input, and connect the
output to the amp’s Return jack.
5.2 MASH switch
The MASH function on the FLASHBACK 2 X4 is a very exciting and innovative
feature that allows continuous control of a desired parameter through pressure
on one of the footswitches. This opens up countless creative possibilities,
particularly with the user-dened TonePrints.
The standard toggle function of the footswitches reacts to single, quick presses
of the switch to engage a preset. If you press the switch slightly harder and
hold it down, the MASH function will engage, causing the associated MASH LED
to light up slightly. As you press down harder on the switch, the LED lights up
brighter and the parameter that has been assigned to this function will change
accordingly. Releasing the footswitch will exit the MASH function and the LED
will turn o, but the pedal will still be engaged. This operation is the same for
MASH parameters assigned to footswitches A, B and C.
Note that the pressure needed to reach the maximum MASH level is only 10 kg
(around 20 pounds), which can be achieved just by squeezing with your ngers.
You shouldn’t need to lean too much weight on the pedal. With some practice,
this feature will become familiar and expressive much like a wah or
volume pedal.
Using the TonePrint app, you can assign your own parameters (up to 3!) to this
unique feature and save a custom preset that allows you to create sounds that
very few delay units have been capable of before. See Chapter 3 for more details
on TonePrints.
