All your favorite Flashback 2 delay tones — and then some — come to an unbelievably slim form factor in the TC Electronic Flashback 2 Mini delay pedal from Music Experience. This mini's eight versatile delay types range from crunchy tape echoes and flawless digital repeats to a mesmerizing new Crystal shimmer effect, which are all accessible via wired USB or wireless TonePrint transfer to suit any ensemble type or genre of music. On/off, MASH, and tap-tempo functions are accessible from the single footswitch, giving you expression-pedal-like control and Edge-worthy timed repeats without auxiliaries. This means even more space savings for your cramped pedalboard. Right onboard, a simple 3-knob control scheme affords quick access to your favorite delay tones. Meanwhile, true bypass switching (buffered bypass capable) and an Analog-dry-through signal path mean great tone whether the pedal is in use or not.
Got a special digital or analog delay in your full-sized Flashback 2 you want to replicate? Import it instantly into the Flashback 2 Mini via TonePrint. All the base tones are here for pitch-perfect tone translation, as well as an immense artist library to provide endless inspiration.
One of the Flashback Mini 2's standout features is its Crystal octave shimmer effect. It uses the same polyphonic octaver algorithm that has helped make TC's Sub 'N' Up a Music Experience best seller. The Crystal effect unleashes ethereal synth-type pad tones upon your guitar, which work great for building atmosphere and laying down base chords for soloing.
Just ask such artists as the Edge and David Gilmour what the secret is to a perfectly timed delay line. The answer is tap tempo. The Flashback 2 Mini lets you access those time-critical 8th-note chased delays without hooking up an external tap switch. Once tap tempo is enabled via the TonePrint app, just hold the switch until the red LED turns green. Now you're able to hang with your drummer no matter how much they deviate from your inner metronome.
The innovative MASH footswitch gives the Flashback 2 Mini breathtaking creative potential. In addition to toggling the delay effect, this pressure-sensitive footswitch can be used in a manner similar to an external expression pedal. Use the MASH switch to swell the delay mix, bring modulation to the repeats, and even increase the feedback amount. Or assign other parameters to the MASH footswitch in the TonePrint app for even more sonic creativity.
When you don't feel like tweaking knobs to find the perfect tone, check out TC's TonePrint library. That's where you'll find hundreds of presets — some by the biggest names in guitar — to share and download right into your very own Flashback 2 Mini delay pedal. These can be downloaded and imported over wire USB or beamed instantly to your pedal using a smartphone and the free TonePrint app.
TonePrint Minis are compact and full featured with analog circuitry you can trust and True Bypass outs to preserve your tone. You can even change the bypass of your Flashback 2 Mini to a tonally transparent buffered bypass within the TonePrint app to drive long pedal/cable runs.
Old school saturated tape echoes, warm, gritty analog delays, crispy clean digital repeats and everything in between. Sounds like a lot of gear to haul around, right? Wrong! Containing all of the superbly realistic and musical sounding delay tones from its larger siblings, FLASHBACK 2 MINI DELAY packs a mean punch in a lean stompbox.
The extremely realistic algorithms are all painstakingly developed to deliver warm, lush, and responsive tones, echoing TC Electronic’s decades of delay experience. And if you need that little extra something to your sound, there’s a world of tone to explore under the surface thanks to TonePrint technology. Use the app to dive through cascading, shimmers of delay, modulated echo tails, or kaleidoscopic oscillating feedback – tailor your tone to your rig! Add to that the choice between tap tempo and the groundbreaking MASH footswitch that lets you phrase your delay like an expression pedal and you’ve got the pound-for-pound delay pedal champion!
Famously wielded by such masters as the Edge, Brian May and David Gilmour to name a few, the big, bold, delay-driven riff is a higher art form. The way an already fat tone can be turned into a fearsome weapon of mass seduction by the right set of subdivisions and the right delay timbre – it’s a thing of beauty. FLASHBACK 2 MINI’s tap tempo lets you sync up your riffage to make sure those repeats are dead on. Just enable tap tempo in the TonePrint app, hold down the footswitch for a second until you see the red LED turn green, and show your drummer who’s the boss!
FLASHBACK 2 MINI DELAY features a groundbreaking new technology that brings a wide range of creative expression to the party, and is controlled solely by how much pressure you apply to the footswitch. Years in the making, and only available in select TC Electronic products, this clever innovation elevates the common footswitch well above the mundane duties of just “On” and “Off”. More importantly – MASH elevates your performance to the next level.
Great tone is hard to come by but sometimes, it takes something as little as a good buffer in the right place to bring life and brilliance into a dull-sounding signal chain. FLASHBACK 2 MINI DELAY gives you the power to choose between either a totally transparent buffered bypass to drive your precious tone through long cable runs or crowded signal chains or a squeaky clean true bypass depending on your setup. All you have to do is place the pedal where you want it and use the free TonePrint app to see which bypass mode sounds best through your rig!

FLASHBACK 2 MINI DELAY’s Crystal effect uses the same algorithm that made the incredible SUB ’N’ UP OCTAVER, one of our best sellers.

And you can choose from a total of 8 stunning delay options, including hyper-realistic Tape, Modern, Reverse and much more. FLASHBACK 2 MINI DELAY is nothing short of brilliant!
