Flashback 2 X4 Delay

9 FLASHBACK 2 X4 DELAY User Manual
5.3 Using the looper
With the looper built into your FLASHBACK 2 X4, you can record and play back
grooves and lines to play along with. You can even overdub your recording an
unlimited number of times.
The rst round of recording always sets the length of the loop. The duration of a
loop can be up to 40 seconds in mono and 20 seconds in stereo, regardless of how
many overdubs you make.
If an overdub exceeds the length of the loop, a third round of recording begins.
This gives a very natural logic and musical feel when recording loops.
The DELAY and FEEDBACK knobs are inactive in Loop mode.
Recording and playing loops:
• Set the Delay type selector to LOOP.
• Feel the groove and prepare for recording. Tap the 1st/REC footswitch to
start your recording and begin playing. The LED ashes red.
• To stop recording, press the REC footswitch again. Flashback Delay
immediately switches to playback mode and starts playing the loop.
In playback mode, the LED is green.
• To overdub your recording, press the REC switch once more.
The LED now blinks.
• Use the LEVEL knob to adjust the volume of the loop.
• Press the 2nd/Play/Pause footswitch to stop a loop that is playing back.
Press it again to start playing the loop from the beginning.
• To stop a loop at the end of its cycle, press the 3rd/Play Once footswitch.
The LED will ash until the end of the loop cycle, and the loop will stop.
• To undo the previous overdub, press the 4th/Undo footswitch.
Press again to add the overdub back in.
• To delete all recordings, press and hold the 4th/Undo footswitch.
Note that loops are not stored across power cycles.
5.4 Expression Pedal Setup
Connecting an expression pedal allows continuous control of feedback length,
delay time or delay level. You will be able to dene which parameters are
controlled with the pedal, as well as the range of control. For example, if
controlling the delay level with a pedal, you may not want the “heel down”
position to turn the delay level all the way o, and you may not want the
“toe down” position to actually reach maximum output level achievable with
the Level knob.
It’s important to note that the FLASHBACK 2 X4 does not work with standard
250 kΩ guitar volume pedals. You will need a 25 kΩ linear pot expression pedal
for proper function.
Follow these steps to assign one or more parameters to an expression pedal:
• Connect an expression pedal to the EXP PEDAL input.
• Connect your pedal to a computer or smartphone/tablet via USB cable.
• Open the TonePrint app.
• Navigate to the Product Settings tab and click the 'Calibrate expression
pedal' button.
• Follow the instructions for calibration.
• When the heel and toe positions have been established, click 'Done'.
• Navigate to the Expression Pedal tab to assign parameters that will be
controlled with the expression pedal. The pedal response curve is indicated
in a graphic display, and a peg will move along the curve as the pedal is
rocked back and forth.
