Page 4: (En) Introduction
(EN) Introduction Congratulations! You have just bought a reverb pedal that is a steppingstone to a world of inspiration, innovation and tone. We are proud to present Hall Of Fame Reverb. In the music industry, TC Electronic is synonymous with the best reverb out there – a reverb that you know from countless songs and classic albums, but that’s not all. - 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 - Decay time control 8 - Pre Delay short/long...
- 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 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 level of the reverb. Notice that the level of the direct signal is always passed at the original level (unity gain). Only the level of the reverb is changed when turning the FX level knob. DECAY The Decay knob sets the decay time of the reverb. Please note that the max. decay time on the different reverb types varies due to the nature to the reverbs. -
Page 8: Reverb Types
Reverb Types The reverb naturally found in various types of rooms depends on many different factors: The size of the room, the material the walls are made of (wood, stone etc.), is the room furnished or not, how high is the ceiling, is it a church, etc. ROOM The Room algorithm simulates a relatively small, well furnished room. In such a room, many reflections are absorbed by soft materials, and the sound is reflected and sustained only by the walls (covered with wallpaper), windows and maybe some furniture. - Page 9 PLATE Prior to the digital era, reverb was created either using springs or large metallic plates. A Plate reverb is recognized by its very diffuse and bright sound and is excellent for guitar when you search for a significant guitar reverb. CHURCH A highly diffuse large reverb that is recognizable for its emulation of the many hard surfaces of different shapes found in traditional church rooms. If you are looking for a large reverb and think the Hall is too clean and subtle – try Church. MOD - Modulated The MOD mode adds modulation to the reverb only - not to the dry signal. This opts for a reverb that is really noticeable and cuts through in live situations. LOFI Down and dirty reverb.
- Page 10 TILE If you want the “bathroom” effect, without actually sounding like you’re playing in your bathroom. The Tiled Room reverb simulates the qualities of a small to medium size tiled room with its many reflections and at the same time it behaves respectfully towards the original source material. This is not a soft smooth reverb - this one cuts through the mix. AMB (AMBIENCE) Ambience is a cool very short reverb that emulates the feeling of environment. Perfect to compensate for that desert-dry feeling of a close-miked cabinet. GATE The classic reverb type typically heard on snare and kick drums on many 80s recordings. A gate is used to rather abruptly shorten the reverb decay. Try it out and allow yourself to stand out from the common usage of reverbs on guitar.
- Page 11 TonePrint Think of the knobs and switches on your pedal as a few handles that actually control a large number of parameters. TC Electronic staff has defined the controls, - but wouldn’t it just be cool to let the world’s leading guitar players contribute their own definition of how the controls should work? YES - this is TonePrint. We allow top guitar players to dig out the pedal’s hidden tonal potential, re-define the controls and make their own TonePrints. These TonePrints are available for you online, and uploading TonePrints to your pedal is easy. • Connect the pedal to your Mac or PC computer using the supplied USB cable. • Find your pedal at www.tcelectronic.com/pedals and download the TonePrint setting from your favorite guitar player to a location where you can easily locate it again – e.g. your desktop. •...
- Page 12 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 hard-wire 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 13 Buffered Bypass – If you use a long cable between your guitar and the first pedal or if you use many pedals on your board or if you use a long cable from your board to the amp, then the best solution will most likely be to activate the buffer in the first and last pedal in the signal chain.
