hi, I need help. I happen to have a 2 x4 flashback, and I control it with a midi clock pedal. but a few days ago I noticed that the synchronization of these was not correct, I thought there was some problem with the midi, but after doing tests, I realized that what happens is that the flashback does not accept the orders of the midi clock lower than those 76 bpm, as long as I use it with 76 bpm or more, everything synchronizes perfectly, without the tempo failing, but if I want to lower the tempo from 75 bpm, the pedal doubles the speed, that is, it makes me a subdivision of the tempo in eighth notes, regardless of the subdivision that I have in the pedal, and although this subdivision of the tempo in eighth notes (that is, at twice the time that I put lower than 75 bpm) does not affect the subdivision of the pedal, it does not It allows me to work correctly in some tempos, and I have to adjust the subdivisions until I find something that I hope it sounds like. I am sure that it is not the midi clock pedal, because this also happens with the tap tempo button of the flashback 2 x4, so I suppose it must be some firmware error or something like that. I did a test connecting it to the computer with the toneprint app, and there if, moving the tempo, I managed to get the pedal to recognize the 50 bpm that I sent in the midi clock pedal signal, but as soon as I disconnected it from the computer, the problem returns (I made the connection to the computer via USB)
Hi folks,
I have my Ditto x4 hooked up to my SingularSound Beatbuddy. The midi syncs great, meaning my looped riffs stay perfectly in time with the Beatbuddy drums. Last week I was playing a solo over a riff I'd looped and I'm absolutely convinced as I increased the beats per minute on the beatbuddy, my Ditto matched the new drum tempo and increasing the speed of the riff accordingly. I had to move my kit over the weekend and hooked everything up the same as last week, but for some reason the Ditto doesn't stay in time with the Beatbuddy now when I increase the beats per minute. The flashing light on my Ditto does increase with the increased bmp, so I know midi is working and the Beatbuddy is talking to the Ditto, but I cant get the looped riffs to increase in tempo to match.
My question is - did I imagine it all last week?! Should the Ditto loop tempo increase to stay in time when the Beatbuddy BMP is increased or decreased? Since the Beatbuddy is telling the Ditto what to do through Midi I kind of feel it should.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
How do I move my boards around?
I Toneprint I can only move the first 11 boards around (those i can see on the screen). The rest of them I can't move.
Best regards,
Peter
erHi,
I hope you can explain to me why all my user made boards are gone.
I haven't been using the diffrent boards that I have made for a while.
Then today when I would go throgh all my boards 90% of the boards are gone and have been replased with other boards that are named User Board but these are far from identical to the boards that i have created for a coulple of month ago.
What is reason to this has happend?
Best regards,
Peter
Hi!
I would like to run a wet/dry setup but am on a budget (and lack of space on my pedalboard, like everyone!)
As the FB2 is analog dry-through, is there a way to use it as a wet-dry splitter? Instead of having both left and right stereo outputs, I'd like to have one output dry only and the other wet only.
Is that possible?
Thanks!
Hi everyone! I don't know if here is the right place to put this, but could someone confirm me if the MINI VERSION of the hypergravity compressor has the option to choose between true bypass or buferred. Thanks
I'm simply trying to find out if the toneprints are just particular dial settings on the unit or do they contain things that do not exist in the original unit?
I have been re-routing my pedalboard and the pedal was working fine. Just when I thot I was done...suddenly no audio. When bypassed signal passes thru the pedal to the amp...so I know the cables are fine. But when I activate the pedal the audio stops. Yes I have turned the knobs up. Any ideas?

Hi Guys,
I recently made the investment to consolidate my existing tc pedals. Updated the firmware to latest build 1.2.18 (latest version available on 17/02/21)
Great concept, great sounds, but some MAJOR BUGS need sorting to make this usable! (Luckily the world is still in lockdown - so there's time before gigs start up again)
Bugs found:
1. Midi is STILL problematic - when the Plethora X5 is set to a defined Midi channel, any additional CC# messages get ignored after a PC# command is recieved on the same channel. Working with some guys on the Facebook forum, it looks unique to the Boss Switchers so far.
I tested some ideas for a work around on the ES-8 switcher that will allow me to send a CC# message (CC#102 - Val 0 - (Pedal 1_Off) for eg.) manually after the PC# has gone through to the PX5, but if I try and send multiple CC#s it will only complete the first CC# out of the list sent. I don't think the PX5 is listening to all messages correctly as they come in on a defined channel as a bulk load of comands.
2. If a Midi PC# command is sent and the the Plethora is already on the correct corresponding board, the unit reloads the board again which has this dry signal and lag (trails are cut off) - see next point regarding LAG. This issue is important to fix as Boards can be used on multiple Presets in live setups - and switching presets needs to be as seemless as possible and there is no need for the PX5 to reload it. it almost needs a code to check to see if the board matches the corresponding PC# received before anything happens.
3. THE LAG! - OH the LAG! Lag between board changes is not acceptable for live performances - along with the awkward dry signal that sneaks through with it. Many other multi effects with heavy computing demands handle this change instantly (eg. Boss SY-300 / Boss GT1000 Core) so this should be possible here with some refined coding ;) - I use the PX5 as a Stereo D.I. Rig at the end of my signal chain, with no other delay or reverb effects on my board to compensate for the lag - It's impossible not to notice when i'm changing boards and is my biggest gripe!
4. The tails are still cut off between board changes, this makes mid song changes between boards unusable. As the pedal features time based effects - Delays and reverb should be designed as standard to carry across in board changes. - The response to this point I imagine will be that the 'DSPs are dropping all their programming to load the new board config'... but if a BOSS GT1000 Core can acheive it - PX5 should be able to also. (perhaps some cpu capacity needs to be reserved in every board to capture tails and carry over in board changes? - perhaps even an option to choose buffered bypass in Board Settings to enable it?)
Additional Suggestions for Future Features:
1. Auto save function needs to be optional feature - we don't want all tweaking to be permanent whilst we try new sounds out - add a save board command on the main board perhaps using a long press on the Toneprint button? Presets are a good thing! ;)
2. BodyRez for acoustic guitars would be great and EASY addition - as the digital and editable version is already included in the TC Helicon Play Acoustic Pedal - with this in mind an Acoustic IR might be a good shout to accompany it.
3. Make Cab Sims Board Specific to allow easier changes to accompany board swaps (helpful when switching between acoustic, bass, different guitars...etc)
4. Filters and Auto Wah would be a nice addition
Hopefully these Bugs can be looked into ASAP - I know there are guys begging for these fixes in the social media forums and being an issue on one of the leading Pedal Switching Brands, there is a demand to escalate this to avoid people shopping else where.
I still trust in TC to pull it out the bag, but Updates this early on need to be very regular to justify the £££ spent on the pedal and retain the customers ;) - I have Faith in TC still!
Thanks guys,
Mike :)
Hi,
I'm running the Plethora with the 4 cables method correctly set up (guitar -> Plethora L in -> Plethora fx send to amp in -> amp fx send to Plethora return -> Plethora L out to amp return).
Whenever I make some sort of operation (changing pedalboard, swapping pedals, changing toneprint, loading pedal in a slot) while the Plethora is processing (a half second maybe?) there is a crazy volume increase as if my amp was jumping to its max volume.
If I run the Plethora in front of the amp, issue doesn't occur. You can only hear that the unit kind of bypasses all effects for half a second.
Issue occurs on both true bypass and buffered mode.
Anyone else having this problem?
Amp is an Egnater Rebel 20.
