Miku Kobato is shown using the Free The Tone Flight Time FT-2Y delay pedal in a photo on her Instagram, where she mentions updates to her pedalboard.
All of my 2290’s have died too, after touring for years around the world, but I use the Free The Tone Flight Time, which is like a 2290 in a box. It’s exactly the same. I want to go in and alter the time or filter the delay and that lets me do it in about three button presses. That’s what you need in a creative situation, as opposed to (mimes messing about with submenus on some old rack system).
