The TC Electronic Flashback X4 Delay Pedal is a more expansive version of TC's compact Flashback model, and offers 16 delay types, ranging from Tape and Tube echo to Analog and Reverse delay. There are four slots for importing signature TonePrint presets, as provided by legendary TC Electronic users, such as Steve Morse and Doug Aldrich.
The Flashback X4 has four foot switches, three of which can be used to switch between presets and one is for tap-tempo. With no complicated menus, the Flashback X4's controls are all switches and knobs. There are controls for Delay Time, Feedback, Delay Level and Looper Level. There is a switch for engaging the 40-second looper, changing the footswitches to operate as Record, Play/Pause, Play Once and Undo controls.
