The Flashback X4 Delay & Looper allows you to connect an ex-
pression pedal (optional/not included).
Once you have connected and configured an expression pedal, you
can use it to control one or more of the following parameters:
– Delay Time
– Feedback Level
– Delay Level.
These parameters will be explained later in this manual.
You can define…
– which parameter(s) you want to control with an expression
pedal and
– the parameter range to control.
Choosing an expression pedal
For use with the Flashback X4 Delay & Looper, you’ll want to use
a 25 kOhm linear pot expression pedal.
Please note that a standard guitar volume pedal has a 250 kOhm
logarithmic pot and cannot be used as an expression pedal for the
Flashback X4 Delay & Looper.
If you already own an expression pedal and you are not sure if you
can use it with the Flashback X4 Delay & Looper, please ask your
local vendor or get in touch with TC Support.
Assigning delay parameters and parameter ranges
to an expression pedal
You can control any combination of the Delay Time, Feedback Lev-
el and Delay Level parameters with an external expression pedal.
To set up parameters and parameter ranges, proceed as follows:
– Connect an expression pedal to the EXP PEDAL jack on the
Flashback X4 Delay & Looper.
– Switch on the Flashback X4 Delay & Looper.
– Choose a preset (A, B or C) on the Flashback X4 Delay &
Looper.
The LED of the selected preset will light up.
– Set the expression pedal to the maximum position.
