TC Electronic Triple Flashback Delay

TC Electronic · pedal

The TC Electronic Triple Flashback Delay runs up to three independent delay engines at once, each individually footswitchable, with a toggle to select which engine to edit and a shared tap tempo footswitch. A serial/parallel switch changes how the three interact: parallel sends the dry signal to all three delays at once for tight, rhythmically interlocking repeats, while series chains delay one into two into three for huge, cascading, three-dimensional echo trails. Sixteen selectable delay types span crisp digital, warm analog, tube, tape, lo-fi, reverse, and slapback voicings. One of the sixteen is a ping-pong delay. Four TonePrint slots let players download signature delay settings from touring artists. It suits players wanting deep, layered, three-dimensional delay textures.
