For each selected effect type, 4 instant variations can be
stored. When creating new presets this function makes is
very easy to combine your favorite reverbs with your
favorite compression settings etc.
Example:
- Press COMP edit to enter the compression block.
- Edit the compression settings using encoders A-D.
- Now press and hold VARIATION key #1 to save this
compression setting as one of your favorites. Note
that the preset is not stored at this point, you have
simply set up a favorite compression setting.
- Recall a different preset using the preset keys where
you would like to apply this compression.
- Press COMP followed by VARIATION key #1.
- Your favorite compression setting #1 is now recalled
into the current preset.
The VARIATION key LEDs:
When a VARIATION key LED is lit you have previously
stored a variation with that key.
To delete a variation:
Press and hold “FACTORY DEFAULT” while pressing
one of the VARIATION keys 1-4. This will delete the
variation stored with that key.

combination of compression, EQ, mod and maybe delay
settings. However, you feel that you have edited the
reverb parameters to a point where you find yourself a bit
lost. - What would TC Electronic suggest?
- We assume that you are in reverb edit, thus the
REVERB EDIT LED is lit.
- Press FACTORY DEFAULT.
Note that there is a factory default setting for each
effect sub-type.
4 - Edit A to D
EDIT encoders A to D is used to adjust parameters.
5 - Tuner Indications
In Tuner mode this section of the display indicates
whether the input note is above or below correct pitch.
6 - Store
Storing a preset can be done in two ways. We call them
“Quick store” and “Normal store”. “Quick store” is
typically used when you have made changes to a preset
and want to store the preset with the same name at the
same location. “Normal store” is used if you want to
change preset location and maybe the name as well.
Quick store - press and hold STORE for 2 seconds. The
preset is now stored at the current location.
If you are trying to store a factory preset using
“Quick store”, you will automatically be directed to
“Normal store” mode.
Normal Store - press STORE once:
Now the following controls are available:
- Encoder A selects preset location
- Encoder B selects preset name characters
