The Flashback X4 Delay & Looper is actually two products in one:
– a delay pedal and
– a looper that allows you to build audio loops by stacking sev-
eral recordings of what you are playing.
To operate the looper module, set the LOOPER/DELAY switch to
the “Looper” position.
Using the delay in Looper mode
You can still use the delay when working with the looper module
of the Flashback X4 Delay & Looper. This means that you can re-
cord loops with delay effects.
Please note the following differences between Delay mode and
Looper mode:
– When the LOOPER/DELAY switch is set to “Delay”, you are usu-
ally working with one of the Flashback X4 Delay & Looper’s
three delay presets.
In other words: Either preset A, B or C is active, and the LED
of the respective footswitch is lit.
When the LOOPER/DELAY switch is set to “Delay” and no delay
preset is active, the Flashback X4 Delay & Looper is in bypass
mode. No effect signal is coming out of the pedal, only the
unprocessed signal is being passed through.
– When the LOOPER/DELAY switch is set to “Looper”, you do not
have access to presets. Instead, the current settings of the delay
controls
(DELAY TYPE, DELAY TIME, FEEDBACK, DELAY LEVEL) ap-
ply. This means that “what you see is what you hear” – and
what you hear is being recorded as part of a loop.
Accordingly, if you do not want to record any delay effects as
part of your loops, simply turn the DELAY LEVEL knob down to
minimum position.
