Alter Ego Delay English Manual Version 1.0 4

Introduction

Aaron Miller, Founder of PGS

“In February of 2010, TC Electronic flew Andy 
and I to their headquarters in Denmark. Andy 
went along to create a number of TonePrints, 
and I was presented with the possibility of a cus-
tom Flashback. I saw this as a really fun project 
to work on. We get to do some really cool cus-
tom products with our manufacturers, and it’s 
the part of my job that I enjoy the most. I mean 
– really, who gets to do this kind of stuff?

After spending about 30 minutes with the Tone-
Print software, I realized that this software could 
create nearly any sound that you want it to. My 
mind began to race with the possibilities, and I 
knew relatively quickly what we would create.

Being a complete delay geek, I own so many de-
lays that it’s quite frankly embarrassing. There 
is no excuse for it, it’s an addiction. There are 
two delays that I own that I consider some of my 
most prized possessions. Very dear to my heart 
are my original Binson Echorec, and a vintage 
Electro Harmonix Deluxe Memory Man.

We are proud to present the result of the joint 
collaboration between TC Electronic and Pro-
GuitarShop. Alter Ego Delay is a new take on the 
very successful TC Electronic Flashback, fea-
turing two new presets modeled after a couple 
classic delays: the Binson Echorec, and the EHX 
Deluxe Memory Man.”
