Just ordered a TC Alter Ego from Sounds Great

For £85!

Not sure if they are stopping doing them, but a few people seem to be selling them off cheaper than the regular Flashback (Peach have them for £99)

Still £85 is a mega bargain. £35 less than a regular Flashback and even cheaper than the Flashback Mini I was thinking of getting.

They dropped the prices across the board when the Alter Ego x4 came out.

Get a fuzz running into the Echorec setting and have fun!

However they do have the worse colour scheme of any pedal I've ever had. The white text becomes invisable onstage, and they didn't even bother labelling the sub-divisions toggle switch.

I like the sound of that but the flashback has such a pretty blue. 

Its a very nice blue.

Wow! I sold mine for that a couple of weeks ago :O

FWIW, I love the yellow but the white/silver was a bit impractical. Alter Ego x4 on the way for me next month though

Not fond of the colour scheme, but I do love a DMM and at that price I'd be daft not to.

I bought two of these when people started the X4 panic selling and the possible combinations of, say, space echo and echorec are stupendous

Yup, that was me.

I had to sell and post something out so I was allowed to buy something new!

That's not a bad idea. 

One of the weaknesses of the X4 IMO is that it can still only do one delay at a time. The Zoom G3 is actually quite awesome as a dedicated delay as it can do up to 6!

You should buy my iB Nova....it does presets and a proper tap tempo ;-)

I don't really like Nova pedals. 

The ones I've had have been too big, heavy, current hungry and unreliable.

Say WHAAAAAAT?!

Can it do two delays and a big reverb at once?  Because if so, I'm even more likely to buy one.  

(I mean, I've already placed an order but whatever!)
