Maintenance Updating the firmware Applying the firmware update Changing the battery TC may provide updates for the built-in software of your pedal, the firmware. Updating your TC pedal’s firmware requires… – Quit all MIDI-related applications (e.g. your DAW) on your computer and launch the firmware updater you have downloaded in step 1. – In the firmware updater app, select your TC pedal from the drop-down list under the “STEP 1” heading.
Maintenance Switching the pedal from true bypass to buffered bypass mode True Bypass and Buffered Bypass explained True Bypass mode is a hard-wire bypass that gives absolutely no coloration of tone when the pedal is bypassed. This is the default mode for your effect pedal. Using True Bypass on all pedals is a perfect choice in setups with a few pedals and relatively short cables before and after the pedals.
