Hi everyone,

My plethora X5 ( 2 weeks old ) is starting get a lot of friction on footswitch No5.
The edge of the footswitch shaft gets friction from the footswitch hole's wall.
It would not be problem but sometimes the effect does not turn on.
I have to watch it.

What is the solution for this? Should we use a drop of machine oil?
Or will it go to the motherboard inside?

I already do not trust FSW No5 since sımetimes it does not turn on the effect.
I rarely use mash since I have not discovered its capibilities yet.
I wa planning on it thoug?

Any solutions?

1. Spark Boost
2. Bigger text in various areas
3. Asks for save/no save when exiting Edit mode
4. Board name displayed while in Play mode
5. When leaning on the Board switch, I want to scroll through the boards one after the other, rather than having to hit the switch over and over again for each next board (Basically, it would duplicate the existing function of "triple-tapping" switch 1 or 2, and both methods would need the "lean on it to scroll" function).

Overall, an excellent product, and I'm really excited to see what's coming up.  Thanks for the excellent work, TC.

Does any one tried this out? When is not playing or recording is true byepass, and it's OK BUT, and it's A Big BUT, when recording, playing or doing anything after created the first record, it's a Huge tone sucker!!! I know that it's buffered when playing or recording but this was not happening with the old dittos... Does any one from tc can explain this to me? And a way to solve this? Other else I will return the item and ask for a refund from thoumann. Best regards everyone

Just got the X5 and love it. Can't wait for a looper and phaser. Are there any wah-sounding filtering available on it?

A few questions:

1. I am having trouble understanding how to use the Toneprint editor. I have it on my Macbook and my iPhone. It has the basic templates, but I can't figure out how to access their settings and modify parameters. Does it need to be connected to the pedal to edit it?
2. If I find a Toneprint template I like on a pedal that isn't in the plethora, say the Flashback 4x or even the Helix, can I use it in the Plethora? Or do I need to just use the prints that are in the pedal options under the Plethora library?
3. Under the delay templates, there are a few that are named with "4+8." Is the period at the end meaning a dotted eighth note, meaning it's a quarter note with a dotted eighth note as well? Stereo? Maybe the quarter going left and the dotted eighth going right? If not, how do I get such a thing. My favorite delay setting on any pedal I ever had was the dotted eighth on the Nova Delay (I was disappointed it wasn't on the Nova System).

Finally, I play classic country-blues sounding American rock and some funk. Do you have any artists that go in that direction (as opposed to metal or ambient)? If so, can you recommend some tone print artists?

So I "have" a Nova System and a Nova Drive.  I always look to see if they will come up with a Gen 2 version but I gave that idea up a while ago.

I leave my main gear at the drummer's house. 

Come to find during covid, his cats used my pedalboard as a pissbox.  Long story short. I am in the market for new gear or get parts if possible.

The plethora has caught my eye since I tend to be brand loyal.  I personally don't like the idea of digital distortion and I know analog always is a selling point.  I do have a Boss Katana I get by with during covid but it does'nt come close to my stereo Nova System rig w/ ping pong delay (RIP) into two Peavey Delta Blues 1x15 amps.

The Nova Drive seems to be a good concept for a new product.

I propose they pair the Plethora w/ a new analog midi controlled pedal with presets that has dual external cart slots w/ any extra needed mini pots attached.  Foxrox has/had? something similar with the cards.  It would have to be smart (cart recognition) and could tone print as well.  I am thinking like kemper profiling with the analog slots.  You can have an analog only version as the base model. OR! have a profiling cart!

Forgive me I have been out of the game of gear for a while so sorry if there is something similar already discussed.

What do you guys think?

Tried creating a support ticket but when I selected 'TC Electronic', no models appear. Hoping someone can help.

One of the encoders has gone on my G-System. I've got spare parts but I need to know how to separate the footswitch from the encoder. Can anyone advise?

Tx, Vic
