The TC Electronic Flashback Delay is a compact delay pedal offering both clean, pristine digital repeats and warmer, degraded analog-style delay voicings in one unit, alongside tape-echo and looper-style modes. TonePrint customization lets players load artist-designed delay settings or create their own custom delay character. An expression pedal input allows real-time control over delay time or other parameters for dynamic, swelling delay effects. It suits touring and studio players wanting a versatile, small-footprint delay that covers multiple delay characters without carrying several dedicated pedals.
The TC Electronic Gauss Tape Echo is a tape echo emulation with TonePrint from TC Electronic (Aarhus, Denmark), delivering warm tape echo simulation with flutter, wow, and harmonic saturation for vintage tape echo character. TonePrint technology adds downloadable artist tape echo presets. The Gauss captures the organic warmth and gentle imperfections of vintage tape echo machines.
