Expression pedal input

You can connect an expression pedal to this de-
lay unit (optional/not included). Once you have 
connected and configured an expression pedal, 
you can use it to control one or more of the fol-
lowing parameters:

►

Delay Time

►

Delay Feedback

►

Delay Level

These parameters will be explained later in this 
manual.

You can define… 

►

which 

parameter(s)

 you want to control with an 

expression pedal and

►

the 

parameter range

 to control.

While Flashback Triple Delay has three Delay En-
gines, the Expression pedal will only control the 
parameters for the Delay Engine selected with 
the Delay 1/2/3 selector switch.

Choosing an expression pedal

For use with this delay unit, you should use a 

25 

kOhm

 linear pot expression pedal.

Please note that a standard guitar volume pedal 
has a 

250 kOhm

 logarithmic pot and cannot be 

used as an expression pedal with this delay unit.

If you already own an expression pedal and you 
are not sure if you can use it with this delay unit, 
please ask your local vendor or get in touch with 
TC Support.

Assigning delay parameters 

and parameter ranges to 

an expression pedal

You can control any combination of the Delay 
Time, Delay Feedback and Delay Level param-
eters with an external expression pedal. You can 
make and store these settings separately for 
each of the three Delay Engines, and they are 
stored as part of the Delay Engine preset.

To set up parameters and parameter ranges, 
proceed as follows:

►

Connect an expression pedal to the Exp 
Pedal jack.

►

Switch on the delay.

►

Choose a Delay Engine (1, 2 or 3) using the 
Delay 1/2/3 selector switch. Make sure that 
this Delay Engine is active – its footswitch 
should be lit. You may also want to switch off 
the two other Delay Engines.

►

Set the expression pedal to the maximum 
position.

►

Set the knobs for the parameters you want to 
control to the desired maximum values.

►

Set the expression pedal to the minimum po-
sition.

►

Set the knobs for the parameters you want to 
control to the desired minimum values.

►

Press and hold the footswitch for the preset 
to store these settings.

►

Repeat for the two other Delay Engines if you 
want to control their parameters with the ex-
pression pedal, too.
