Page 4: (En) Introduction
(EN) Introduction Congratulations! You have just bought a chorus pedal that is a stepping stone to a world of inspiration, innovation and tone. We are proud to present Gravy Tri Chorus and Vibrato, providing TC Electronic’s legendary chorus sounds, intuitive controls, and instant satisfaction. Throw in the lovely feel of the outstanding vibrato with a flexibility that you will simply not find in any other pedal out there and you have Gravy Tri Chorus and Vibrato. We love tone as much as any guitarist out there, and we always aim at pushing the boundaries. We are therefore very excited to present a brand new, groundbreaking concept: TonePrint! TonePrint gives you instant access to custom-tweaked sounds. We have gathered an impressive list of guitar heroes and had them tailor their signature sounds – the tones that made them famous. TonePrint will not just bring you close to the sounds of your idols, they give you their actual sounds! Using TonePrints is both easy and fun. Just download the TonePrint you want from www.tcelectronic.com et voilà, your favorite artist has just put a TonePrint in your pedal. Forget emulation – let’s talk collaboration! www.tcelectronic.com www.youtube.com/tcelectronic... - Page 5 1 - Effect on/off (true bypass) 2 - 1/4 inch mono jack input 3 - 1/4 inch mono jack input (for stereo in) 4 - 1/4 inch mono jack output 5 - 1/4 inch mono jack output (for stereo out) 6 - FX level control 7 - Speed time control 8 - Chorus/TonePrint/Vibrato selector...
- Page 6 Connecting Input jacks - Use MONO for mono input and both MONO and STEREO if connecting a stereo source. If you run the pedal on battery, we recommend removing the mono input jack to preserve battery power when you don’t play. Output jacks – Connect to another pedal or directly into an amp or mixer.

Page 7: The Controls
The Controls FX LEVEL Controls the intensity of the chorus. The chorusing effect occurs when a pitch modulated signal – think vibrato – is played adjacent to a clean signal. Therefore the max chorus intensity is achieved at a 50% wet/dry mix. With Gravy, this is achieved by setting the FX level fully clock-wise. SPEED The SPEED knob sets the chorus speed – from slow smooth “Hi-Fi” to much more significant “Leslie” types at high speed. DEPTH DEPTH sets the range of the modulation. Experiment with both the SPEED and DEPTH controls to get the effect you are looking for. TONE By adjusting the tone you can set how warm you chorus should sound. When using high settings on both speed and depth for that “leslie-type” sound you might want to emphasize the lower frequencies over the higher ones. Try turning TONE counter clock wise. - Page 8 TRI CHO (Tri-Chorus) The Tri-Chorus is a variation of the regular Chorus that uses three stereo Choruses with various offsets for both depth, speed, phase, and chorus delay time to produce a unique, very broad and lush Chorus sound. The Gravy has been voiced especially to nail that old-school fat chorus sound. TonePrint Consider the knobs and switches on your pedal as a few handles that actually control a large number of parameters.
- Page 9 Bypass modes and Kill Dry on/off Unscrew the back-plate and look for the two small dip-switches in the upper left corner. The upper dip-switch (closest to the DC 9V in connection), switches between True Bypass mode (default) and Buffered Bypass mode. Buffered Bypass Kill-Dry - off Kill-Dry - on True Bypass True Bypass – is a hardwire 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.
- Page 10 will most likely be to activate the buffer in the first and last pedal in the signal chain. Can you hear the difference between a pedal in True Bypass or Buffered Bypass? 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 – With Buffered Bypass activated (upper switch to the right), the lower dip-switch sets Kill-Dry on/off.
