@Mr_NicePrice: Thanks for the compliment.
Delay is one of the most versatile effects you can add to your pedal board.
The TC Electronic Flashback Delay features 6 seconds delay time of every delay type you could ever wish for, and it also doubles as a looper.
Besides all that, the Flashback delay comes with TonePrint, so you can easily ToneTransfer your favorite delay settings. The Flashback delay also features TC Electronic's audio tapping technology, allowing you to set delay times by strumming your guitar, and a toggle switch allows you to switch between 16th notes or dotted 8s, for a more U2-like sound.

This powerful pedal is as simple as can be. There's an input jack, and output jack, and 9v charger outlet on the sides. On top it has 3 controls: "Gain" "Tone" and "Volume."

Ease of Use: The Vox Satchurator is a distortion effects pedal designed by Joe Satriani in conjunction with Vox. As functional distortion stomp boxes go, this is a solid and simple piece of kit that does what it is intended to do competently well. The layout is a simple gain, tone, and volume knobs, two stomp switches, off/on and 'more' gain, and an additional 'Pad' switch which I'll expand on to later on.
In terms of design it can be best described as a cross hybrid of retro/boutique sensibilities topped with some modern niches. The metallic red finish is certainly a looker and the cream retro knobs compliment well with the overall aesthetic scheme. // 8
Sound: Soundwise 'Joe Satriani' this certainly ain't, and it's a welcoming notion. Of course no single stomp box is ever going to emulate perfectly a certain aspiring sound, and while this can certainly get close to the aforementioned tone, it shouldn't be the ultimate incentive. It has a surprising versatile range of tonal palette that can vary from a smooth Drive to the extremes, and a few very interesting tricks to boot.
The most interesting implementation of the Satchurator is the 'more' switch, where instead of more conventional volume boost there is a gain boost. It allows a hassle-free provision of what essentially is a two gain channel selection in live playing situations and the level of gain differences is cleverly determined depending on where the gain level is set beforehand.
The purpose of the 'pad' switch is theoretically useful. It claims to allow other conflicting noisy pedal to be attached in the effects chain before the Satchurator for essentially balancing and taming the tone/signal fluctuations. To be honest it was near impossible to detect any variation between them off and on, but my guess is on exceptionally high volume levels on stages may prove to be its comfort zone.
The Satchurator, while versatile, certainly has a striking tonal personality and has a tendency to be slightly treble heavy, although it never impedes the sound. It actually is a big blessing in disguise especially at high gain levels where the notes don't lose their definition and cuts through individually above the noise. Open chords sound smooth and creamy at most settings, and is sonically rich and responsive that is perfect for any soloing. // 9
Reliability & Durability: There's little to go wrong here. The Solid Metal chassis and tight build quality should ensure a lengthy lifespan. Minor niggles are related with onstage scenarios where the knobs are worryingly far too easy to rotate and proves to be an accident waiting to happen unless secured down. The 9V input jack is solid and the battery compartment is adequate and the switches are click-free operation which are welcoming.
On the whole, since Joe Satriani relies on it himself, it should be safe to presume its a trusty performer. // 8
Impression: With very minor reservations I can highly recommend this distortion box for users looking for a unique take on the much plagued distortion market. The gain boost and the 'pad' switch is surely a rarity, and the confident tonality package caters for a variety of play styles and approaches. It definitely breaks the trend of overpriced mediocre quality associated with signature products, and on the whole actually the Satchurator is somewhat a bargain if you account for all the useful features packed inside the cool red box. Highly recommended. // 8

Price paid: $ 129.99
Purchased from: amazon
Ease of Use: This is easy to use. Takes the standard 9v adapter which is nice, and if you can't figure out how this things works you have bigger problems than a guitar pedal. Only complain is its too big - takes up two spots on my homemade pedal board. // 9
Sound: Using this with a solid state amp set to clean and a few different guitars - an Ibanez ARZ and Fender Strat HSS. Also use a Boss OD-3 to get a better crunch out of it. This pedal is noisy at high gain. Compared to my DS-1, this thing has tons more background hiss. The distortion is rich and creamy, but reminds me of the valvetronix sound which I've never been a fan of. Good for Mid gain stuff, but forget anything high gain - it'll do it, but sounds too "round" and there is too much noise at high gain. The "More" button increases both gain and hiss. Overall, not a big improvement over my DS-1, which I was hoping for. // 6
Reliability & Durability: Seems to be built well. No complaints here. // 9
Impression: I play all types of music, and this seems to be a good match for straight ahead rock & roll type stuff. I wont be using this for any metal, because the sound just isn't there, nor do I think it was intended to be. Been playing 18 years and have owned all types of gear - this is decent as far as pedals go but nothing that blew me away. // 7

Flashback is a modern twist on the know-how and legacy of TC Electronic's legendary 2290 delay, featuring 7 seconds of delay and a cherry-picked selection of the very best delay sounds out there . Seriously, why you're not out buying one right now after reading that is beyond us.
11 delay types
Audio tapping
Built-in 40 second looper
Dazzling Delays for Days
From amazing reproductions of tape- and analog echoes to a dedicated 2290 setting, Flashback is the complete package. We truly love delay sounds (made TC what we are today) so Flashback Delay is our ode to all that makes delay sounds so great - and on top of all that we even managed to squeeze in a looper!
Simply Strum to Sync
Audio tapping allows you to set your delay times fast, accurately, on the fly and hassle-free, so you can immediately get back to the fun part: playing. Syncing up with your band, backing track or the tempo in your head is a natural and intuitive thing , just strum the tempo with your guitar and Flashback does the rest.
That’s What She Played
Flashback Delay encourages you to play with yourself and get your most creative looping performances out of your system! 40 full seconds of looping and an easy interface give you all you need to get your loop on!
Flashback features dual delay used by Edge from U2.
