Amazing sound quality!
The sound quality is perfect! the original sound is not modified at all (analog dry through) and the feedback added sound has great quality too. I found myself playing for hours with very different sounds and effects....... It has tons of features: the "2290" is an excellent modern delay; "analog/tape/slap" are different kinds vintage delays; the "modulation" delay provides a chorus in the feedback (set the time to zero and you'll have a nice chorus); "Ping Pong" is great for alternating delay repeats from left and right channels; "Reverse/Dynamic" are fun. The looper is too basic but it can be interesting if you don't have other loopers. Don't count on it if you are serious about looping (can't undo, can't stop and start the last recording, can't separately control the recorded volume without affecting the main volume). The Tone Print feature is amazing if you are friend with computer and cell phone apps. It allows to configure the pedal in ways you wouldn't imagine. The pedal is great for home & studio. For live performance, the disadvantage is that you can't store multiple presets, so you need a couple of seconds to configure the sound you want. I'll move to TC Flachback X4 or TC Tripple Delay in the future for sure.

I imagine the x4 has the same great quality. Here the manufacturer comparison regarding features and usability: http://support.tcelectronic.com/entries/99110643-Differences-between-Flashback-and-Flashback-X4

the x4 sounds the same, its all the pre-toneprint delays that sound a little different in their modelling modes (though the ducking and 2290 style stuff is the same on every piece of TC kit I've had and the x4 is my 4th TC effects unit with delay)
