From the Legendary Rack Delay to Pedal Format: The Flight Time DNA
Fans of Japanese delays know the Delay 80, long a reference. With the Flight Time, Free The Tone takes the concept further: a delay designed as a precision tool, inspired by the spirit of great studio rack delays (with the famous "2290" signature in mind), but in a pedalboard format. Released at the end of 2014, the Flight Time returned in version 2 in 2017, with targeted and truly useful improvements for real situations.The FT-2Y retains its recognizable look, almost like a "time machine," while embracing a very modern philosophy: no labyrinthine menus, but quick access to parameters thanks to its displays and dedicated buttons. And a rarely highlighted detail: this pedal was also exceptionally manufactured in northern Japan, as part of a commitment to support the local economy.
Which Guitarists (and Bassists) Is the Flight Time FT-2Y Made For?
The Flight Time 2 is aimed at musicians who want one type of delay (digital) but at the highest level, with reliable response in the studio and perfect repeatability live. It appeals equally to rock, pop, fusion, and prog guitarists as well as ambient enthusiasts seeking a clear, wide base with modulation capable of thickening the space without muddying the attack.It's also an ideal pedal for complex rigs: footswitch preset changes, tempo synchronization, use in effects loops, parallel systems, or control via MIDI controller. And if you play in a band with slight natural tempo variations, its realtime BPM analysis can become a formidable ally to keep the delay "in place" without stiffening the performance.
