TC Electronic Triple Flashback
TC Electronics has some great delay pedals in the Flashback series. While this one is truly fantastic, it is also a bit nutty. Giving you three delay pedals in one is crazy enough, but then giving you the ability to stack them all at the same time is simply insane. This pedal can get away from you if you are not careful! There is so much delight to be had with this pedal, especially when done so with reckless abandon. Don’t let all the insanity fool you however, this is a wonderful pedal.

HornFX Review
Interface: 3.5/5
Surprisingly, this pedal is not that hard to understand. There is so much in this pedal, but it is quite well laid out. It can, however, get a bit confusing when you are switching between delays 1, 2, and 3, while trying to remember which sound is which, then remembering to flip the toggle to the right delay so you can edit it. It can become a bit overwhelming and frustrating.
Versatility: 4/5
With a multitude of delay types and the unique ability to put the delays in series or in parallel, this not only a quite diverse pedal, but a unique one as well.
Tonal Reproduction: 4/5
Like all other TC pedals, this machine does service to your tone. You will be happy with this pedal’s sonic integrity.
Live application: 3.5/5
Like its big brother, the X4, this pedal suffers mightily from its size. On many boards, this would simply be too big. The midi, expression, and TonePrint options make this behemoth a pleasure to use live, especially when trying to make some beautifully layered, otherworldly sounds.

The Sonic Multiverse
Ever heard a tape echo run through a ping-pong delay and then into a reverse delay? No? Trust us, it sounds amazing. With the FLASHBACK TRIPLE DELAY you can go as crazy as your imagination allows and with the added function of running the delays in series or in parallel, you can go from lush divine delays to otherworldly soundscapes in an instant! Time and space have never been easier to manipulate.
Trippin’ on Triplets
As if having three high quality delays running at the same time isn’t enough, we’ve also added a dedicated subdivision knob that lets you assign different rhythmic patterns to each delay. You’ll get everything from dotted eighths to triplets and on to several types of dual delays. So whether you’re going for a smooth rhythmic-roll or a full-on psychedelic-trip, FLASHBACK TRIPLE DELAY is sure to deliver!
TonePrints in Tandem
FLASHBACK TRIPLE DELAY is the only delay pedal that lets you run several custom-tuned delay sounds at once. Imagine running delay TonePrints from Steve Morse, Guthrie Govan and John Petrucci all at the same time; the result is spectacular! Add to that the option of creating your very own delay tones via our free TonePrint Editor and you’ve got yourself one of the most versatile delay pedals ever made.
