This thing is fully qualified to take its place next to my Keeley 4 knob and my Wampler Plexi-Drive. I believe in making music on a budget, but pedals are a good place to not skimp. The unit also has stereo in and true bypass, which I very much appreciate. If you want to really nail a delay sound to an exact time, that’s a good way to do it. I like the fact that there’s a setting called “Tone Print” where you can save your own patch, presumably from the software. But the thing I really dug was the little switch which timed the delay – quarter notes, dotted eighths, and quarter notes AND dotted eighths. There’s a stereo out for rich people who gig with two amps, and the looper works exactly like you’d imagine. Instead of tap tempo, you can strum the speed you want, which is interesting. I’m sure one day I’ll be bored enough to do that, but I made out just fine moving the knobs. You can also connect it to your computer and create your own sound, or download an app and somehow do the same thing on your smart phone. This pedal has lots of different types of delays, from digital perfection to tape wobble to analog to modulated delays, etc and so on. There’s a reason people love these pedals – they sound fantastic. Which I obtained from Guitar Center in a trade for one of my other pedals (Wampler Plextortion) and a little cash. Much YouTube research led me to the wonderful TC Electronic Flashback Delay and Looper. I keep it in case of emergency, but hope to never use it again. I can’t stand the Floor Pod Plus any more. When you make the step up from solid state cheap modeling amps to decent quality tube amps, you learn to better appreciate good tone. But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t make the Floor Pod Plus sound… any good. It has all of the usual effects in it, including delay, which is something I really like. Update 2/21/16 – I’ve lived with the Flashback for several weeks now, and have updated a few opinions of it.
