4.1 Power / Computer connection

(1) POWER input - To power up your pedal, connect a power supply to its
power input socket. The power input socket of your TC Electronic effect pedal
is a standard 5.5/2.1 mm DC plug (centre = negative).
Your TC Electronic effect pedal requires a 9 V power supply providing 100 mA
or more (not supplied). TC Electronic recommends using the PowerPlug 9.
To minimize hum, use a power supply with isolated outputs. If no power
supply is available, you can run this product using a battery. For more
information on changing batteries, see "7.2 Changing the battery".
(2) USB port - Use the standard Mini-B USB port on your TC Electronic effect
pedal to connect your pedal to a computer. If there should be firmware
updates for this pedal, they can be installed using the USB port
– see "7.1 Updating the firmware". TonePrints can also be transfered to your
pedal as described in Chapter 3.

4.2 Switching

(3) FOOTSWITCH – The footswitch performs 2 functions – on/off and MASH.
• To turn the effect on, tap the footswitch. To turn the effect off, tap the
footswitch again.
• The footswitch also controls the MASH function, which is detailed in
section 5.2.
(4) INDICATOR LED - The LED lights up when the effect is switched on.

4.3 Audio in and out

(5) AUDIO INPUT - The audio inputs on the right side of this pedal are standard
1/4" jacks (unbalanced/TS). Connect your guitar to the mono audio input on
the right side of your pedal using a regular 1/4" instrument cable. The pedal
also accepts stereo signals using a pair of 1/4" TS cables.
(6) AUDIO OUTPUT - The audio outputs on the left side of this pedal are
standard 1/4" jacks (unbalanced/TS). Connect the audio output of your pedal
to the next device in the signal chain, either with a single cable or with a pair
of 1/4" cables if both inputs are used.
