Using TonePrints
When you look at your pedal,
you’ll only see a few knobs
and switches. However, they
actually control a large num-
ber of internal parameters.
TC has defined the relation-
ship between the knob and all the parameters
“under the hood”. But wouldn’t it be cool to have
guys like Steve Stevens, Scott Ian or Paul Gil-
bert (i.e., some of the world’s leading guitar play-
ers) virtually rewire these controls, defining what
should happen behind the scenes or perhaps
even do it yourself?
This is exactly what TonePrint does.
We work with top guitar players who explore
a pedal’s hidden tonal potential, redefining the
controls and creating their personal TonePrints.
TC is making these custom TonePrints avail-
able to you. Uploading them to your pedal is re-
ally easy, and with the amazing TonePrint Editor
you can even create your own signature pedal
tweaked specifically to your liking.
You can change the TonePrint in your pedal as
often as you like, and the best part:
It’s totally free.
Transferring TonePrints to the pedal
“So how do I load new TonePrints into my pedal?”
“Use USB, Luke – or beam it.”
