ic. Trust us, these guys know echo tone – and we
know you’ll agree once you hear it!

magnetic drum delays of the legendary Echo-
rec* to an exclusive modulated take on TC’s
own 2290 delay unit and tons of other classic
echo tones. Heck, if we didn’t know any better,
we would be sure that this pedal contained real
moving parts.

True Bypass
Here at TC, we have a simple philosophy: When
you are using one of our products, you should
hear something great – and if you don’t, you
shouldn’t hear it at all. This is why this pedal
sports True Bypass. When it is bypassed, it is
really off and has zero influence on your tone, re-
sulting in optimum clarity and zero loss of high-
end.
You will also be delighted to hear (literally) that
this TC Electronic effect pedal will let your dry,
unprocessed sound pass without ever convert-
ing it to digital – keeping your original tone pure
and without any latency. This feature is called
analog dry-through.
Sometimes, it is advisable to switch an effect
pedal from True Bypass to Buffered Bypass
mode. For more information, see “Switching
the pedal from true bypass to buffered bypass
mode”.
