There are some truly inspiring sounds in this pedal; it meets all the basic needs most guitarists are after easily, and even before the possibilities of toneprint are explored, there are some phenomenally strange sounds that inspire me to create. I'm glad to see that the analog delays now self-oscillate, but also that there are delay sounds that don't do that; one of my favourite things about the first Flashback was being able to use it to create a low-level, endless soundscape beneath my playing. There are a number of great quality of life improvements here: six soundbanks, more toneprint slots, and the inclusion of the absolutely incredible MASH function are wonderful. This pedal can do almost everything I want it to do (there are some unique sounds from other pedals that I can't recreate here, but the Flashback has its own array of unique sounds, so that's not something I hold against it).
My only real issue is that I can only do one of those things at a time; unlike the original Flashback x4, or the Triple King, the Flashback 2x4 seems to only be able to use one delay function at a time. Which is a shame, as I would love to be able to combine a more basic delay sound with one of the weirder, more ambient sounds. Still, my needs in that department are a little eccentric; I have a feeling that for the vast majority of people, this pedal will be everything they need, along with a whole lot of other things they hadn't even considered!
