  • Page 6 (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 Corona Chorus, providing TC Electronic’s legendary chorus sounds, intuitive controls, and instant satisfaction. From a chorus sound that meets session player standard over classic 80’s clean chorus to contemporary choruses, it’s there in all of its chorussy glory. We love tone as much as any guitarist out there, and we always aim at pushing the boundaries.

  • Page 8 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 9: 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 Corona, 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 10 CHORUS Standard chorus inspired by the legendary TC Stereo Chorus Flanger. TRI (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.
  • Page 11 TonePrint Consider 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 with their own definition of how the controls should work? YES - this is TonePrint. We allow top guitar players to dig out the pedals’ hidden tonal potential, re-define the controls and make their own TonePrints. These TonePrints are available for you, and uploading TonePrints to your pedal is easy. • Connect the pedal to your Mac or PC computer using the supplied USB cable. •...
  • 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 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 13 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.
