7.  Maintenance

7.1  Updating the firmware

TC Electronic may provide updates for the built-in software of your pedal, 

the firmware.
Updating your TC pedal’s firmware requires...

• 

a computer running Microsoft Windows or OS X with a standard 

USB interface

• 

the specified DC power supply for your pedal.

Preparing the firmware update

• 

Download the newest firmware from the “Support” page for your TC pedal. 

There are updaters for Microsoft Windows (these are ZIP archives containing 

the firmware installer) and for OS X (these are disk image files containing the 

firmware installer).

• 

Unplug all cables (including the power supply) from your TC pedal.

• 

Connect the pedal to your computer using a USB cable.

• 

Press and hold the footswitch on your TC pedal. If your TC pedal has more 

than one footswitch, press and hold the leftmost footswitch.

• 

Insert the DC power supply plug.

• 

The LED on your pedal should turn green. If your TC pedal has more than 

one LED, the leftmost LED should turn green. This indicates that the pedal is 

ready to receive the software update.

• 

Release the footswitch.

• 

Your TC pedal will now be recognized as an updatable device.

Applying the firmware update

• 

Quit all MIDI-related applications (e.g. your DAW) on your computer and 

launch the firmware updater you have downloaded in step 1.

• 

In the firmware updater app, select your TC pedal from the drop-down list 

under the “STEP 1” heading.

• 

When the “Update” button under the “STEP 2” heading turns green, click it.

• 

The updated firmware will now be transferred to your TC pedal. Wait for 

the progress bar to reach 100%. When the update procedure is complete, 

the pedal will automatically restart.

7.2  Changing the battery

If you need to change the battery of your TC Electronic effect pedal, 

proceed as follows:

• 

Unscrew the thumb-screw on the back of the pedal and detach the 

back plate.

• 

Unmount the old battery and attach the new battery to the battery clip 

making sure the polarity is correct.

• 

Remount the back plate.

Notes regarding batteries

• 

Batteries must never be heated, taken apart or thrown into fire or water.

• 

Only rechargeable batteries can be recharged.

• 

Remove the battery when the pedal is not being used for a longer period of 

time to save battery life.

• 

Always dispose batteries according to local laws and regulations.
