Kill-dry on/off
Trinity Reverb English Manual Version 1.0 16
Bypass modes
Here at TC, we have a simply philosophy: When
you are using one of our products, you should
hear something great – and if you don’t, 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, re-
sulting in optimum clarity and zero loss of high-
end. Also please note that the pedal lets your
dry, unprocessed sound pass without ever con-
verting it to digital – keeping your original tone
pure and without any latency.
To set the bypass mode, proceed as follows:
– Disconnect the pedal and turn it on its back.
– Unscrew the back plate of the pedal and look
for the two small dip-switches in the upper left
corner.
– The upper DIP switch (the one closer to the
power in jack), switches between
True By-
pass
mode (default) and
Buffered Bypass
mode.
True Bypass and Buffered
Bypass explained
True Bypass
mode is a hard-wire bypass that
gives absolutely no coloration of tone when the
pedal is bypassed.
Using True Bypass on all pedals is a perfect
choice in setups with a few pedals and relatively
short cables before and after the pedals.
If…
– you use a long cable between your guitar and
the first pedal or
– if you use many pedals on your board or
– if you use a long cable from your board to the
amp,
…then the best solution will most likely be to set
the first and the last pedal in the signal chain to
Buffered Bypass
mode.
Can you hear the difference between a pedal in
True Bypass or Buffered Bypass mode?
Maybe, maybe not – many factors apply: active/
passive pick-ups, single coil/humbucker, cable
quality, amp impedance and more. We cannot
give a single ultimate answer. Use your ears and
find the best solution for your setup!
Kill-dry on/off
When you activate Kill-dry, the direct signal is
removed from the pedal’s output. Use this mode
when you place the pedal in a parallel effects
loop.
Please refer to the Setup examples section of
this manual to decide wether you want the dry
signal at the pedal’s outputs or not.
To set Kill-dry mode, proceed as follows:
– Disconnect the pedal and turn it on its back.
– Unscrew the back plate of the pedal and look
for the two small dip-switches in the upper left
corner.
– The lower DIP switch (the one further away
from the power in jack), switches between Kill-
dry on and Kill-dry off mode.
! You can only remove the dry signal from the
signal path if you have selected Buffered By-
pass mode using the upper DIP switch – see
previous section of this manual. Kill-dry is
not
available in True Bypass mode.
