2. Introduction

The QUINTESSENCE HARMONIZER is TC ELECTRONIC's revolutionary,
TonePrint-enabled harmonizer pedal. With QUINTESSENCE in your pedalboard,
your guitar can now harmonize (and customize) your lead lines in ways never
before imaginable.

2.1 Unpacking

Your TC ELECTRONIC effect pedal box should contain the following items:
• Your TC ELECTRONIC effect pedal
• 1 USB cable (Type A to Mini-B)
• 1 TC ELECTRONIC sticker
Inspect all items for signs of transit damage. In the unlikely event of transit
damage, inform the carrier and supplier.
If damage has occurred, keep all packaging, as it can be used as evidence of
excessive handling force.

2.2 True Bypass

Here at TC, we have a simple 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, resulting in optimum clarity and zero loss of
high end.
Sometimes, it is advisable to switch an effect pedal from True Bypass to Buffered
Bypass mode. For more information, see "6.2 Switching the pedal from True
Bypass to Buffered Bypass".

2.3 Setting up

• Connect a 9 V power supply with the following symbol to the DC input socket
of your TC ELECTRONIC effect pedal.
