TonePrint – the concept

Consider the knobs and switches on your pedal as a few handles that actually control a large number 

of parameters. TC Electronic staff has defined the controls – but wouldn’t it just be cool to let the 

world’s leading guitar players contribute with their own definition of how the controls should work?

YES – this is what TonePrint is about. We allow top guitar players to dig out a pedal’s hidden tonal 

potential, redefine the controls and make their own TonePrints. These TonePrints are available to you, 

and uploading TonePrints to your pedal is easy.

The Dreamscape is John Petrucci’s signature pedal and provides six of his favorite modulation 

Toneprints – but you can also download any Corona Chorus TonePrint made by any artist. To recall 

this downloaded TonePrint, set the Effect Type selector to TonePrint.

• 

TonePrints can easily be transferred to your pedal either using the free TonePrint app for 

smartphones or via a direct connection to a Windows PC or Mac using the supplied USB cable.

While uploading a TonePrint you MUST have a 9V battery in the pedal or power connected to 

the pedal’s power input. You MUST also have a jack cable plugged into the pedal’s INPUT.
