You can acheive many cool sounds with this pedal ! Many people consider that the Strymon Timeline or Eventide Timefactor are the best delay stompboxes, but this little guy can do a lot of different sounds for 1/3 of the price. Had a lot of fun experimenting with it !
Again, this is a demo like I would want all UA-cam demos to be: lots of different sound examples and no talking. Straight to the sounds. Hell yeah.

I have this delay and I love it but there is no way on earth that I can make it sound as good as you just did! Outstanding playing!
Wow, thanks so much Darren! That's such a great compliment :)
Well, it was great playing! :)
you can eventually get as good as him or even better with good understanding of how tempo works. this is the key to unlocking any delay or other modulation
I just bought a used one for my 2nd pedal board and I am amazed by all the features. It's not a one trick pony by any metric! Great video!
I loved your playing to best demonstrate. A lot of these vids are of someone just playing trash and expect us to understand how versatile this delay is. Thanks!
correct
@TheDarkP0et Thanks so much ! The analog sound is one of my favorites on this pedal :)
The MOD and the 2290 are probably my favorite , I use the MOD most of the time ..adds a lot of reverb actually ,, love it ,, reminds me of the Eric Johnson Delay
Hey Mono great demo, nice idea the "10 favourite sounds from a pedal" please post more demos like this.
Thanks for the feedback ! I should definitely do some more of them with my favorite pedals in the next months !
After all these years still an awesome demo!
Thanks :-)
I love the riff you played for the analog preset. The natural harmonics sound heavenly with delay. :)
Nice to hear a stereo pedal actually demoed in stereo. Bought one myself a while back. Awesome pedal at a good price.
Thanks ! This one in particular is a ''must-play-in-stereo-pedal'' !
The first but sounded like something from colma by buckethead. also I love the dynamic setting, i love polyrhythms.
To hell with the pedal. I listen to this video just for the music. Beautiful sounds, man. Beautiful playing.
Thanks man!
pretty cool delay settings, especially the modulated and the first one!
Thanks bro ! I think they were all awesome and I found some cool sounds on some delay types I never use (lo-fi, dynamic...)
Best delay demo I've heard. Tastefully done. BRAVO!!
Thanks a lot, I appreciate it :)
We need more stereo demos on UA-cam. Thank you!
+Keegan Larose No problem man ! Especially with this pedal, how could I demo the ping pong mode in mono ?! ;)
Really nice. From other demos, I was afraid the different FX types would all sound the same, but it seems like you have to turn up the FX Level knob quite a bit, and then everything suddenly sounds amazing. Thanks :D
That's exactly why I turned the FX knob further more, because I wanted this demo to showcase the differences between all the modes! Thanks man :)
I love this pedal in the stereo output. That's what I want to do with 2 sets of stereo speakers and use ping pong to go from the left set of speakers to the right set of speakers. My Crate Power Block amp will do this since it has left and right stereo effects loops.
That lofi tone is life. Thanks for sharing!
Wow this pedal sounds great. This is the first time I've heard it I believe. Great playing as well. I like the way you did the demo.
Thanks ! I'm sure you've already heard this pedal in an another format (flashback mini, flashback x4, flashback triple delay). So many variations on the same thing :-P
2 of my favourite ambient guitarists in one thread, now all we need is Andy othling and tycho
And Matt (frodo) Kidd from aural method
That's a great compliment to be cited amongst such great artists, thanks :)
No problem, I see the ambient music style showing up a lot more often in other genres as of late and its great that this style is becoming appreciated by people other than musicians.
Thanks a great demo... It helped me choose this pedal over many others...
You're welcome! You cannot go wrong, great pedal for the price!
Love this first versión!
Really? Is it better than the Flashback 2? Just curious, as I have this one.
Love the reverse delay. Nice demo!
Thanks Craig ! Reverse is awesome :D
This video gives the pedal life.
Amazing. Well done Antoine
A great pedal, I believe this will be in the history books.
I absolutely love the playing for the first effect!
Dotted eight delays! Thank you :)
al fin alguien que hace un review en stereo gracias!
gorgeous sounds. loved it!
great stuff always good to get some ideas for nice settings
Ping Pong sounded amazing!
A very useful format. I am subscribing.
Thanks Kyrill

More demos like this please.
For sure ! I have a new playlist on my channel with more ''10 favorite sounds'' guitar pedal demo videos to come !
Monochrome Seasons Great news, thank you.
Could you please show us thats going on at 3:41
I been trying to play that for 3 days now, any suggestions?
The MOD demo sold me on this pedal. Is that all from the pedal?? Like no additional reverb or other effects etc??
I just saw in another comment he said he’s doing volume swells with his guitar knob, so it’s eliminating the pick attack, which gives just the lush mod sound. Sold me on this pedal too!
I see the fx level is very high I find this delay very "shy" my dd3 works better for me, I almost gave up on the Flashback but watching this video changed my mind, I think it just need more wet signal as I see here
I think, more wet signal would be a little bit too much for my taste, but I agree it's nice to have the option!
it is not shy at all. for the price it is (it costed me 98 dollars new in some discount page) this is pretty fucking awesome.
do not expect a strymon or the more advanced version of this (flashback x4) of course. those are on a whole diff level.
what do you think of the andromeda or nemesis?
Absolutely great!!!
Really cool sounds. Is the delay the only pedal you are using?
thanks for a great demo
no problem man!
Monochrome Seasons got my tc in the post partly thanks to this aha
I like to hear when people buy pedals based on my demos, that's flattering :)
great demo !
I’m running this in stereo but I’m not hearing the first note I play; on the delayed note. What am I doing wrong?
Why does my donner yellow fall delay sound better than the TC flashback 2? I thought I was upgrading!
do you have setting for U2 edge sound?
How do you turn the tap/strum tempo off on the v1? It worked great but now every setting has the same tempo.
Thanks a lot!
Grégory Bove no problem!
2290 sounded buckethead esq.
cool sounds... congratulations.
Thanks Marcelo!
Need to see you playing instead of just all pedal
Does this work with an electro acoustic guitar?
Is there a tap function?
The tap tempo is very different than any other pedal. You have to keep pressing the switch, strum the tempo you want on your guitar and release the switch. I find it's pretty accurate for a pedal that does not have a dedicated tap tempo switch!
Can I get the tabs to the first one you played
Awesome! Any tabs for this?
Great sounds and format - but ard to see which setting after 3:15 due to the light artifact
hi sir! do you remember how the loop mode works? does it have undo redo or work like ditto looper? and does the loop mode works on stereo? tc have not reply my email yet.. lol..
from what I remember, there is infinite overdubs, but no way to undo unless deleting the whole loop. the looper worked very well for me and is a nice addition to an already complete delay pedal. looper works in stereo but you get twice less time (20 seconds in stereo 40 seconds in mono). pretty much like the ditto except no undo/redo and less recording time, but who needs 5 minutes for 1 loop? ;)
Monochrome Seasons yeepp! Absolutely! I don't need 5 minutes of recording time.. but i need undo redo button lol.. i guess i have to buy a proper looper pedal haha.. (because i think its a waste of money to buy a proper looper pedal just for a simple looping activities)
+Resi Saputra The Ditto is not too expensive though! but either way you're gonna have fun with it, I'm sure ;)
I hear it doesn't come with the power adapter DC cable. Where can you purchase one?
CJCGtr4U Any music store has standard 9 volts adaptors, it's pretty common!
Really nice. Thanks
Is that in the fx loop. And you have stereo, does that mean its in two amps?
Snooze00 It's going to 2 amps, but it's not in the effects loop!
Nice!
Can this delay pull out pitch bending fx by manipulating the delay knob?
Yes, but almost any delay can do this when moving the Time or Delay knob!
how though? Mine doesn't seem to do it
What is your delay pedal George? :)
+Monochrome Seasons it's the one you are using in the video. The pitch doesn't change when I move the delay knob
Oh, I might be wrong, then! Are you using long feedback and level on your delays when you play with the delay knob?
The modulated delay is the analog w/mod in the x4?
It makes sense, but I cannot confirm 100% that it is the same delay and algorythm than on the x4.
An amazing sounds! Great stereo demo! I have one myself and it's really does a great job. Question: how did you recorded it in stereo?
I plug my guitar in the INPUT, and my other 2 cables plugged in the OUTPUT go to 2 amplifiers.
Those 2 amplifiers are miced with one Shure SM57 microphone each and those microphones are plugged into 2 channels of my audio interface so I can record them simultaneously. After I pan the first amp Left and the second amp Right!
thanks for your answer! :)
Awesome demo. I have this pedal too. I'm thinking of adding another delay for stacking with the flashback, what would you recommend? thanks
+Richie san lazaro Thanks :) The Flashback sounds more like a digital delay, so I'll suggest to get something that sounds different, like and analog or tape-sounding delay. It depends on your budget and how many features you want on your pedal. On a smaller budget MXR Carbon Copy and Malekko EKKO 616 could be great options, but if you have the money I can't hide that I'm sold to the Strymon El Capistan and the Diamond Memory Lane Jr. I own both delays since a long time and I love them :)
just saw your Strymon El Capistan - My 10 Favorite Sounds video. Definitely worth the big bucks. Thanks man. Cheers!
I'm glad my videos helped you make a decision :) thank you !
It is a digital delay,and a great one.Maybe you want to try the Alter Ego X4 -the best analog sounding delays.
alter ego v2
Can you use an expression pedal with it?
The pedal doesn't have an expression pedal input, so no!
hi there, what's the effect at 2:33?
Modulated delays mode.
thanks, I guess you're using a volume pedal there as well?
it was my guitar's volume knob, but a volume pedal will work even better :)
thanks :)
does it keep its performance after a nasty fuzz pedal
Can Öner definitely. Depending on the setting, I've found mine to be very transparent. The only knock I have is setting tap tempos seems to be inconsistent and allows initial sound through so it's not great for changing live/on the fly (however this could be that I don't fully understand it yet).
When I use looper on flashback X4 it cuts signal and sound.. with and without delay...
I dont have effects loop in marshall sl 5

Good to play reggae
Is the Flashback a good choice to stack with Strymon El Cap, right now I have the Strmon El cap, Blue sky, carbon copy, and cronoa choirs. Liking to replace the carbon copy with the flashback. Thanks
It all depends of what you want to use it for ! I use my El Capistan as my main delay and stack the Flashback in Ping Pong mode to spread the delays between two amps. That's the primary reason why I bought the Flashback. If you want a kind of ''always on'' delay, the Carbon Copy will be just fine ! The Carbon Copy copy sounds ''warmer'' than the Flashback delay, even in the ''Analog mode''. I say, If you don't need all the extra delay types, stick with the Carbon Copy, but if you want more versatility, go with the Flashback !
Yeah I'm looking to do some more ambient sounds for pads and church stuff. So I need something that has more versatility.
Great :) Then, yes I recommend it ! If you get the Flashback, try it in ping pong mode in stereo stacked with the El Capistan with a lot of repeats ! It's the best way to get a wider swell/pad sound that takes a lot of space for ambient music !
Was that a cat or dog in the background??? lol
Yeah it was a cat ;)
