Reverb Level –
The Rev switch will activate the internal reverb circuit. The green LED will light
when the reverb is active. The Foot Switch connector on the rear panel can be
Rev ON button
used to turn the internal reverb Off and On if the Rev pushbutton switch on the
(continued)
front panel is pushed On (in). If either this switch, or an external switch, is in the
Off position, the reverb will remain Off. When an external remote switch is not
used, the default is On. (See back panel Foot Switch)
The built-in reverb is useful if you don't have an effect processor installed.
It can be switched On/Off from the front panel using the Rev ON button or
by remote control using the Footswitch jack on the rear panel. The reverb
sound has been preset to a general ambience algorithm; the Reverb Level
control adjusts the amount of reverb introduced.
If the TCA-500 is used with a 19" rack effects processor, (such as a
Lexicon MX-200, a T.C. Electronics G-Major/II, or other 1U space multi-
effects unit), we would recommend the built-in reverb be turned off and
patches set up on the effects processor; the reverb algorithms of a good
quality effects processor should be superior to the built-in reverb.

The built-in reverb signal is added to the signal returning from the
EFX Return jack that feeds the Wet side of the DRY/WET Fader.
This means, the DRY/WET Fader must have a proportion of Wet
signal set or the built-in reverb will not be heard. i.e. if the
DRY/WET Fader is set fully Dry no reverb will be heard.
1U 19" Rack Space – The TCA-500 has a built in rack space below
the main amplifier chassis. If no effects processor is fitted in this
space a blanking plate should be fitted. On the rear panel an IEC
switched outlet is provided to power up the effects processor; 50W
max. Although the general thought behind providing this space is to
enhance the reverb and delay effects, almost any 1U unit no more
than 8 inches or 200mm deep could be installed in this space.
