TC Electronic Flashback Delay

I bought this cool new pedal recently, the TC Electronic flashback delay.
It's a very cool pedal with all sorts of features including the TC exclusive Toneprint.
What toneprint allows you to do is download a toneprint made by several artists, for example Steve Stevens has made a delay print, you can download this in your pedal and you get the type of sound he created.
What's important to know is that it's not a preset, it's more of a designed pedal, so you can adjust the settings in the toneprint, very cool!

Brief Summary:
-11 delay types including a looper and the toneprints.
-Tap tempo.
-Over 6 seconds of delay-time.
-Stereo input and output.
-True bypass.
-A nifty switch adjusting from regular notes to dotted eight.
- Feedback Level and delay time control.

Sound:
This pedal has got a tremendous sound.
It has all the different kinds of delay: analog, digital, tape etc.
I can go on and on about every different type but the most important is, every one of them is pretty good!

Construction:
This thing is built like a tank, I could easily throw it down my stairs without breaking it.
The bad thing about the construction is the tiny switch, sometimes you miss it which -I guess- can be really bothersome when playing live.
Pretty cool is that it has got stereo in as well as stereo out.
They've taken into account that some players might use more than 1 stereo pedal.

So overall a great pedal, with great features.
The only bad part is that we, consumers, can't create our own toneprints.
Let's just hope the manufacturers are kind enough to let us use this software, someday.
