One of the finest “stomp-boxes” they’ve ever made is the TCE Flashback X4 Guitar Delay Effects pedal.



Features
This amazingly versatile pedal offers a seemingly overwhelming magnitude of high quality features. The pedal has 16 (yep, you read it right – SIXTEEN) glorious delay types, three preset modes, the standard Tap Tempo switch, and TC’s exclusive TonePrint technology. This pedal enables 40 seconds of loop time, with an option to “undo” included. TrueBypass is a natural inclusion in this high quality pedal, as well as Analog-Dry-Through. Lastly, you have the standard inputs/outputs on the sides of the box. The interface has a beautiful, aesthetically pleasing design, with a dominating shade of blue. The controls knobs are all neatly placed in a very functional manner. Although it may look intimidating at first, it’s really not, this pedal is properly designed to suit guitarists with varying levels of experience and skill. The physical side of the box is properly justified by its array of features, its dimensions are 13 x 7 x 4 inches, and it weighs 3.4 pounds.
