Off Topic Steve Morse creating TonePrints for the Flashback Delay

I know it's not a new video but TC just posted a link of it and I'm always super-impressed by SM.

Steve Morse creating TonePrints for Flashback Delay & Loooper - YouTube

This video and Tommy's comments was the reason I bought one.

What a genius

 

[Roubster]

Yea, I definitely need one!!! I've watched this video a billion times and it never gets old.

It's a great little delay and IMO the Morse toneprint is the best. Use it all the time.

Sorry to rain on this but while these user preset things are great, and partly the reason I too ordered one, the Flashback just didn't do it for me sonically..no kidding, my T-Rex Replica sounded 100 times better and my cheapy MXR Carbon Copy had more "mojo" for old school analog repeats. Sure I don't have all the crazy options but I quickly learnt that backwards echo isn't all that useful!

Another lesson in try it out first, use your ears and preferably try it with your gear. Mine was returned within 24 hours.

Damn, how come I can't make mine sound like that?

Did you download his TonePrint? Gear is sometimes funny with what you pair it with. I've had pedals that sounded incredible through one amp and were completely ice-picky through another. Sometimes you just won't know until you try it.

How the heck can SM play with his picking hand like that? There's a few guys whose picking hand technique baffles me. EVH is another.

Ok, going home tonight and getting Steve's tone print.

Yep, just downloaded it. My amp is at our practice room(40 minutes south of here), so I won't get to try it out until Thursday. I'll let you know how it sounds. Thanks for the post. And yes, that picking hand volume thing is way out of my league.

the tone prints for the hall of fame reverb pedal are now available too.

Literally just downloaded those. In the process of adding a little mixer to my board to put the delay in parallel to the verb and thought I'd try some new ones out.

Hey, a mixer for the board is a great idea!

It's pretty handy and the 'verb sounds much better in parallel with the delay.

Best delay pedal ever, for that price! I get the felling they intend to make it blue, because all of Steve Morse gear is blue. So it's like a magnet to him, even thou he's almost colorblind

But never the less, it is an awesome pedal with a true bypass and Steve Morse toneprint is just pure awesomeness!
Love!
