Fired everything up this morning, and nothing....the delay works, but the looper doesn't......it says it's working, but when I stop the loop and hit play, nothing comes out. :doh: I updated the firmware, and nothing. I really liked this pedal, but I don't want the issues. Next? Need a delay with a looper, preferably one that plays nice with my fx loop so I can have a clean looped passage and then switch to the Red channel for distorted lead lines. Back to GC to return this thing, so around $250 new/used. Gimme!

Seems TC Electronic stuff often ends up having issues...

Guess so, from what I've been reading....it's gotten a lot of bad reviews for stuff like this....just figured for $250 new I'd give it a shot.

*Also not to be an ass, but who gives a fuck?

Don't really know what to reply to that
I guess if I made the mistake, I'd want somebody to point it out to me, so I mentioned it

Your pedal must still be under warranty, isn't it?

LOL.....point taken. I gotcha. Yeah, it is......running it back to GC now. I'll fix the sig, dude. Sorry, stressed out when things break around me.....the entropy makes me afraid. :D

Not trying to be an ass at all, but is the looper level knob turned up?

I thought my looper was gone, but i had the looper level knob turned all the way to 0, sound was being made, but not coming out because the volume for the looper was effectively turned off
 
LMAO......everybody is not trying to be an ass lolol......looper level was turned up...I've had problems from this pedal since day one, and returned it....now came home with a DL4, and I'm having the same problem....WTF? This looper doesn't work at ALL. The light is on, and it says it's going, but when I hit stop and go to play it back, there's nothing there. What the hell is going on here? Is it my fx loop or what? I know that the loops in Mesas aren't the best, but seriously?!

I'm getting feedback/electrical resistance noise, just like when I use the EQ in the loop and it builds up throughout the day.....is it not the pedals but my parallel loop? Is there an amp guru around here that can help me? Where's glgp80 when I need him? :doh:
 
I have a flashback x4, its been great so far and I bought it used. I know about the switch issue where some were reporting issues, but this is the first I heard of the looping going out. :(

;) I know where you're coming from. I really hate it when stuff breaks, especially when it's almost new.

Wife: "Is it broken?"
Me: "No it's just taking a rest... OF COURSE IT'S FUCKING BROKEN!"

:lol: :LOL:
