I'm using this pedal on a bass guitar, so please keep that in mind as you read the review. Once installed, you are able to select which function using the TonePrint computer app. Updating the firmware is a straight forward procedure. Download the firmware file and install instructions from the TC Electronic website. UPDATE: These pedals are shipped with a firmware version that does not include the option to select either MASH or TAP as an added function for the footswitch. The only thing I miss is the option to switch the three delays into a parallel mode, as one can on the Triple Delay.Īlthough the Triple Delay can store presets, and not lose them because a knob gets accidentally moved, these are infinitely more usable on stage because adjusting the parameters is straight forward. For example, the individual repeats of a multi-head tape delay, with more than one pedal on at the same time, do not ring out as clear and audible repeats, but tend to merge so that the effect is more like a massive sustaining reverb - but without the swampy mess. I tend to use the 'Tape' preset quite a lot and these FB2 pedals are lot less clinical sounding than the Triple Delay. TC Electronic have tweaked the tones of some of the presets for the Flashback 2 series and they are significantly more musical. However, I have discovered something else. So I decided to try the same idea, to achieve multi-head delays, but with three conventional stomp boxes. One of my beefs with it is that, because each of the three delay engines share the same three control knobs for Delay Time, Feedback and Mix, you have little idea where the knobs should be to reflect the settings of each of the three presets after they have been stored. The Triple Delay is the most recent and my Thomann review is still available to read. I have a couple of Alesis Q20's with EFTP Shadows presets, a Boss RE-20 Space Echo and a TC Electronic Triple Delay.
