Using the Looper
Flashback X4 Delay – Manual (2014-06-24) 26
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 several 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. This means that you can record
loops with delay effects.
Please note the following differences between
Delay mode and Looper mode:
– When the Looper/Delay switch is set to “De-
lay”, you are usually working with one of the
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 “De-
lay” and no delay preset is active, the pedal
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 “Loop-
er”, you do not have access to presets. In-
stead, the current settings of the delay con-
trols (Delay Type, Delay Time, Feedback, De-
lay Level) apply. 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.
Recording a loop
Set the Looper Delay switch to “Looper”.
– To start recording a loop, tap the Rec foot-
switch.
– To stop recording, tap the Rec footswitch
again.
You can start and stop recording while the loop
is being played back.
Changing delay settings
while recording loops
As you can change delay settings during loop re-
cording, you can get really creative when stack-
ing your recordings.
For example, you could start with a dry bass line
(Delay Level set to minimum), then add some
chords with a subtle Tape delay and top it all
off with a solo drenched in a luscious “2290 w/
mod” delay.
