Page 7: Introduction
INTRODUCTION Congratulations on the purchase of your new TC Electronic M•ONE or M•ONE XL unit. The M•ONE is a Dual Engine Multi-effects Processor, focusing mainly on high quality Reverbs. The M•ONE can be used for a number of purposes due to flexible routing of the two Engines and more than 20 TC algorithms. -

Page 20: Reverb
REVERB - HALL The Reverbs Hall Most of the Reverbs in the M•ONE contain two Decay different parts; the Reflections and the Tail. Range: 0.02s - 20sec • The Reflections, or Early Reflections, The Decay parameter determines the length of simulate the first reflections that are heard. - Page 21 REVERB - HALL Low Color Mod Depth Range: -50 - +50 Range: -25 - +25 This parameter adjusts the Decay time in the Sets the depth of the Modulation. The Depth lower frequency spectra. Remove rumble while has been optimized for each Reverb type. The preserving the warmth of the Reverb Tail by +/-25 range is calculated as the variation from decreasing the lower frequency Decay time.

Page 22: Room
REVERB - ROOM Room Reflect Level Range: 0dB to -100dB Decay This parameter adjusts the level of the Early Range: 0.02s - 2,5s Reflections. The Decay parameter determines the length of the Reverb Tail. The length is defined as the Many older Reverbs did not utilize time it takes for the Reverb Tail to decay Early Reflection patterns. -
Page 23: Small Room
REVERB - SMALL ROOM (M•ONE XL ONLY) Small Room Reflect Level Range: 0dB to -100dB Decay This parameter adjusts the level of the Early Range: 0.02s - 2.5s Reflections. The Decay parameter determines the length of the Reverb Tail. The length is defined as the Many older Reverbs did not utilize time it takes for the Reverb Tail to decay Early Reflection patterns. -

Page 25: Plate 2
REVERB - PLATE Plate 2 Reflect Level Range: 0dB to -100dB Decay This parameter adjusts the level of the Early Range: 0.02s - 20s Reflections. The Decay parameter determines the length of the Reverb Tail. The length is defined as the time it takes for the Reverb Tail to decay Many older Reverbs did not utilize approximately 60dB. -
Page 26: Spring
REVERB - SPRING Spring A reverb algorithm designed to reproduce the sound of the old spring reverbs, such as the ones used in vintage guitar amps. Decay Range: 0.02s - 20s The Decay parameter determines the length of the Reverb Tail. The length is defined as the time it takes for the Reverb Tail to decay approximately 60dB. -

Page 28: Ambience
REVERB - AMBIENCE Ambience preserving the warmth of the Reverb Tail by decreasing the lower frequency Decay time. As opposed to the Spring reverb, the Ambience algorithm is a very natural sounding reverb. Reflect Level Range: 0dB to -100dB Decay This parameter adjusts the level of the Early Range: 0.02s - 2,5s Reflection. -
