My board is down to 3 pedals again it will fit! LOL!! But I'll wait til' people start givin' them away for $100 something :)

Happy B~Day Greg! Hope it was a good one!!
 
trying to sleep here at the hilton anatole in dallas but HP is having a massive corporate shindig in the lobby and a guy was playing all along the watchtower on electric accompanied by a chick on electric harp and drum machine for dinner entertainment....hooboy...

an interesting side effect of having the flashback and now the x4 a gforce is i tried to emulate the ep3 toneprint with the gforce and it helped me get a nicer delay sound out of it.
looking forward to tweaking the x4 more when i get home. the roland space echo has promise and now with 4 toneprint slots i can experiment with more of them.

I thought about getting this but I may end up spending the extra $200 for a Timeline.
 
Can you control the delay times I with an external tap? I currently control 2 delay pedals and a tremolo with a single Boss FS-5U pedal. I would like to keep the Boss tap and get rid of the 2 delay pedals in exchange for the X4.

I had this pedal in my hands the other day and have heard nothing but good reviews,I guess the flashback regular is out the door!!! Oh Happy Birthday!!
Thanks man!! I wouldn't say the Flashback is out the door, it's a great delay pedal but the X4 just so much better!


Better tone wise? Aren't all these tone printable the same?

I bought the vox delaylab couple weeks before they announced the flashback 4. First I was a little disappointed but the vox is pretty stellar. I use my delays with killdry so my original signal stays clean avoid that whole a/d/a deal. I'd still like to compare these two as far as the delay tones but for features, can't beat the vox. 10 banks of three. Digital read so you can dial in exactly the mil sec. Killdry, spillover, etc. Anyone out there tried both?

I had a regular Flashback and really liked it. Only problem was that I wanted/needed some presets. I also bought the Vox Delaylab and I love it. I compared my Flashback and Delaylab side by side for a few hours and they both sounded great. Like you mentioned, a big plus for the Delaylab is the digital read and 30 possible presets. If the Delaylab didn't exist I would be all over the X4 though.

OP, nice demo :thumbsup:
 
Just got my X4 2 days ago. Best delay I've ever owned. Insanely lush sounds.
 
I have a Nova Delay, Nove Repeater, and a Flashback (original). The Novas handle a hot parallel loop a little better and the presets on the Nova Delay are nice. The Nova Repeater is WYSIWYG, stupidly easy and happens to sound great. Both are a smaller footprint than the x4.

My delay needs are minimal, I don't need all of them and am trying to figure out which one(s) to sell.

I'd have to agree on this. Ive owned a couple Timefactor's in the past, while they are great delay's I like this one better!!
 
I would be all over it if the expression pedal input accepted an external tap (like the Timeline). :(

I haven't tried the Timeline and I don't want to because I've heard they are incredible. There's no need for me to get the GAS going for one of those :lol: :LOL:
 
Im looking at this pedal and the Alter Ego :D They should do an X4 for the Reverb also :D

I don't know why I want a pedal board now :doh:

Same here. It's a deal breaker for me cuz I'd have to rearrange everything on my board.
