Frequently Asked Questions
TonePrint is tc electronic's proprietary system; it’s easy to use via their app, but the available user-created presets are a bit more limited than some competitors' open platforms.
Yes, but the Mix control can be a little less precise for very subtle effects; it’s more suited for dramatic pitch shifts and detunes.
It's reasonably solid, but the metal enclosure is thinner than some higher-end pedals; handle with care to avoid damage.
