  • Page 8: The Controls

    The controls RISE TIME Controls the time it takes for the vibrato to reach the specified depth. You can compare this to activating the rotating speaker in an organ Leslie. SPEED The SPEED knob determines the time between the peaks of the vibrato. DEPTH Depth controls the intensity of the vibrato. TONE By adjusting the tone you change the effects emphasis on high and low frequencies. Turn the knob fully clockwise and use the pedal in Latch mode (see below) to emulate a Leslie type effect.
  • Page 9 LATCH In Latch mode the effect is only active when you press and hold the BYPASS switch. As soon as you release the switch the effect is turned off again. The position of the Rise time knob still decides how fast the effect is in full effect/full bypass. TonePrint Consider the knobs and switches on your pedal as a few handles that actually controls 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.

  • Page 10: Bypass Modes

    Bypass modes 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 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 11 Buffered Bypass – If you use a long cable between your guitar and the first pedal; if you use many pedals on your board and 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 of the signal chain.
