Reverb Level – 
Rev ON button 

(continued) 

The Rev switch will activate the internal reverb circuit. The green LED will light 
when the reverb is active.  The 

Foot Switch

 connector on the rear panel can be 

used to turn the internal reverb Off and On if the 

Rev

 pushbutton switch on the 

front panel is pushed On (in).  If either this switch, or an external switch, is in the 
Off position, the reverb will remain Off.  When an external remote switch is not 
used, the default is On.  (See back panel Foot Switch) 
 

The built-in reverb is useful if you don’t have an effect processor installed. 
It can be switched On/Off from the front panel using the Rev ON button or 
by remote control using the Footswitch jack on the rear panel. The reverb 
sound has been preset to a general ambience algorithm; the Reverb Level 
control adjusts the amount of reverb introduced. 

 

The built-in reverb signal is added to the signal returning from the 
EFX Return jack that feeds the Wet side of the DRY/WET Fader. 
This means, the DRY/WET Fader must have a proportion of Wet 
signal set or the built-in reverb will not be heard. i.e. if the 
DRY/WET Fader is set fully Dry no reverb will be heard. 
 

If the TCA-500 is used with a 19” rack effects processor, (such as a 
Lexicon MX-200, a T.C. Electronics G-Major/II, or other 1U space multi-
effects unit), we would recommend the built-in reverb be turned off and 
patches set up on the effects processor; the reverb algorithms of a good 
quality effects processor should be superior to the built-in reverb. 
 

1U 19” Rack Space – 

The TCA-500 has a built in rack space below 

the main amplifier chassis. If no effects processor is fitted in this 
space a blanking plate should be fitted. On the rear panel an IEC 
switched outlet is provided to power up the effects processor; 50W 
max. Although the general thought behind providing this space is to 
enhance the reverb and delay effects, almost any 1U unit no more 
than 8 inches or 200mm deep could be installed in this space.
