Quick Start Guide
Inspect all items for signs of transit damage. In the unlikely event of transit
damage, inform the carrier and supplier. If damage has occurred, keep all
packaging, as it can be used as evidence of excessive handling force.
2.2 True Bypass
Here at TC, we have a simple philosophy: When you are using one of our products,
you should hear something great – and when it’s off, you shouldn’t hear it at
all. This is why this pedal sports True Bypass. When it is bypassed, it is really off
and has zero influence on your tone, resulting in optimum clarity and zero loss of
high end.
Sometimes, it is advisable to switch an effect pedal from True Bypass to Buffered
Bypass mode. For more information, see “6.2 Switching the pedal from True
Bypass to Buffered Bypass”.
2.3 Setting Up
Connect the included 9 V power supply, or a regulated 9 V power supply with at
least 300 mA and the following symbol (center negative) to the DC input socket of
your TC Electronic effect pedal.
•
Plug the power supply into a power outlet.
•
Connect your instrument to the input jack using a 1/4" jack cable.
•
Connect the output jack to your amplifier using a 1/4" jack cable.
•
The pedal also supports stereo operation (see Chapter 4.2).
3. TonePrint
This TC Electronic product supports TonePrints. To learn more about TonePrints,

3.1 What are TonePrints?
When you look at your TC Electronic effect pedal, you’ll only see a few knobs.
For some pedals, it’s just one knob. So – one knob, one function, right?
Actually, there’s a lot more to it than meets the eye.
Star-tweaked signature sounds
When TC Electronic builds an effect pedal, the relationship between its controls
and many parameters “under the hood” are defined by developers, musicians
and product specialists who live and breathe sound. This gives you an excellent
starting point: a great-sounding pedal with well-balanced controls.
But wouldn’t it be cool to have world-famous guitar players – guys like
Paul Gilbert, Guthrie Govan, John Petrucci or Steve Vai – virtually rewire your
reverb pedal, defining what should happen “behind the scenes”?
And how about doing this yourself?
This is exactly what TonePrint allows you to do.
TC Electronic is working with top guitar players who explore a pedal’s hidden
tonal potential, redefining the controls and creating their personal TonePrints.
And we are making these custom TonePrints available to you. Uploading them
to your pedal is really easy (see chapter 3.2 for details) – and with the amazing
TonePrint app, you can even create your own signature pedal, tweaked
specifically to your liking.
You can change the TonePrints in your pedal as often as you like, and the best
part: It’s totally free.
