TC Electronic's Flashback Triple Delay steeps your rhythm parts, lead lines, and ambient swells in up to three totally independent delay generators ? in series (stacked) or parallel ? to create delay effects ranging from conventional to otherworldly. And when we say independent, the Flashback Triple Delay single-handedly delivers. Each delay engine can be configured as any of 12 delay types ? lush tapes, vintage hardware units, fluttery slapbacks, and more ? and then tailored by note length, number of repeats, wet/dry mix, and subdivisions for distinct or complementary styles. And speaking of subdivisions, each delay gives you 11 subdivision options, from simple dotted quarter notes to more complex dotted eighth- and eighth-note configurations, along with a tap tempo switch to quickly lock in parts to a drummer or backing track. Advanced delay users will dig diving deep into the pedal chassis and toggling true bypass to buffered bypass to achieve true spillover. There's also a Kill-Dry option inside that removes your dry signal from the output, which is great for running your Triple Delay into parallel effects loops. And of course, the Triple Delay supports TonePrints, giving you instant access to endless presets via the TonePrint editor, which can be then saved directly into four pedal slots (TP1-TP4). If you're a delay lover who just can't seem to get enough delay from traditional effects, then you're going to love the TC Electronic Flashback Triple Delay from Sweetwater.





Four TonePrint slots





TonePrint-enabled pedals, such as the Flashback Triple Delay, allow you to use the TonePrint mobile app to send custom-designed artist presets directly into your pedal wirelessly. You can also use the TonePrint editor software to create your own custom settings. The Flashback Triple Delay allows you to load up four different TonePrints directly from the pedal for more flexibility onstage. When you need instant access to your tone, just choose one of the four TonePrints you've loaded and away you go.





Expressive I/O





TC's Flashback Triple Delay features analog-dry-through circuitry to preserve your analog tone, along with stereo I/O for creating expansive soundscapes. Around back, you'll also find expression pedal and MIDI inputs for remote preset changes and external MIDI synchronization.
