(EN) Introduction

Congratulations! You have just bought a delay pedal that is a stepping stone to a world of 

inspiration, innovation, and tone.

We are proud to present Flashback Delay, providing TC Electronic’s legendary delay sounds, intuitive 

controls and instant satisfaction. Our delays are widely heralded as the best for a reason, but that’s not 

all. We love tone as much as any guitarist out there, so we are very excited to present a brand new, 

groundbreaking concept: TonePrint!

TonePrint gives instant access to custom-tweaked sounds. We have gathered an impressive list 

of guitar heroes and had them tailor their signature sounds – the tones that made them famous. 

TonePrints will not just bring you close to the sounds of your idols, they give you their actual sounds! 

Using TonePrints is both easy and fun. Just download the TonePrint you want from www.tcelectronic.

com and, voila, your favorite artist has just put a TonePrint in your pedal. Forget emulation – let’s talk 

collaboration!
