TC Electronic

Been using this for a couple of years. Suddenly, during playback of a recorded loop, I'm getting a loud burst of white noise. Sounds like a capacitor discharging. It's sporadic and random, and loud so clearly is unpleasant and unacceptable during any performance.

HI, I have just purchased the TC Electronic HOF Reverb pedal and no matter what sound I download the dry sound does not come through. I only get the reverb when pressing the pedal.
I would be grateful if you could advize or is the pedal faulty?

Best regards, Jan

Hi.

After living with this pedal, I learnt to live with its querks. It sounds great but there are some extremely basic features that make no sense in a live setting using with  a pedal switcher with MIDI:

1) When a board is selected via Program Change signal, there is a lag, which I now understand from previous TC communications about time needed to change boards. The most frustrating part is that if the PC is sent for the currently selected board, it mutes as though a new board is selected, so even using just 1 board for a variety of songs requires a work-around. Is it possible to fix this so the board doesn't refresh?

2) Master midi clock sync, please.

3) MIDI activation for Tuner, please.

4) MIDI access to 2nd function on footswitches for tap tempo/bpm sync, please.

Most of these suggestions should enable us to not require changing boards so often and having the hassle of the signal muting.

Great product though. What it does well, it does very well!

So I just got a plethora x3 running in my mesa loop and kicked off my tuner, delay, reverb, nova modulator and harmonizer. I could kick off my compressor, noise gate and drop, but mine are significantly better and in front of chain so keeping them there. Chorus undecided.

Anyway, I really like it and has all the effects I need and more.

Question is on the pitch shifter (Brainwaves). Using the Wham toneprint as an example, no matter what I set the mix at, the level for the pitch shifting is very low, almost like it's in the background. I updated the firmware, and even tried to edit my own toneprint but really didn't know what I was doing there. When the effect is engaged, there's no volume drop, but as you "mash" the second voice is shifted, but I'd like it to be equal level as the dry signal. I can't figure out why it's so weak.

Any tips or ideas?

Thanks!

I'm looking for input for settings for my Flashback 2 pedal for Blues Harmonica.

I am just using a Flashback 2 Delay for now. I used to combine it with the MoJo MoJo overdrive pedal, but that seems to add excessive feedback.

I'm trying to achieve that "Bluesy Crunch"

Any advice on Harmonicas and pedals would be appreciated.

Keep on Jamming! 

Hi all,

I wanted to try out the Brian May Chorus1 toneprint, so I beamed it to the Dreamscape pedal I have. But it didn't do anything. No effect was audible, turning knobs or moving the brightness switch didn't yield any change.

Unfortunately we cannot see the settings in the editor because editing is locked for the artist toneprints. After reading some messages on the internet I downloaded an old toneprint editor version and made the toneprint editable so that I could check it and change the settings.

Speed and Depth knobs aren't linked to anything. The brightness switch is linked to HiCut, but the curve is flat at the bottom, so whatever switch position you chose the HiCut is always 20Hz. And that's why the toneprint doesn't work, you only get the dry signal.

The other settings are in the ballpark of the G-Major 2 settings that can be seen here, but not exactly the same: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMyXtpsabrY

I think hiding the artist toneprint settings away from the users is a bad idea, it's a major hinderance. Not customer friendly at all. Checking why the toneprint doesn't work cost quite a bit of my time. Don't see why this was neccessary.

Anyway, maybe somebody at TC can please double-check the toneprint and - if indeed the HiCut switch settings are wrong - fix them.

Best regards,

Seb
