4.1 Power / Computer connection
(1) To power up your pedal, connect a power supply to its power input socket.
The power input socket of your TC Electronic eect pedal is a standard
5.5/2.1 mm DC plug (centre = negative).
Your TC Electronic eect pedal requires a 9 V power supply providing 300 mA
or more. To minimize hum, use a power supply with isolated outputs.
(2) USB port - Use the standard Mini-B USB port on your TC Electronic
eect pedal to connect your pedal to a computer. If there are rmware
updates for this pedal, they can be installed using the USB port –
see “7.1 Updating the rmware”.
4.2 Audio in and out
(3) AUDIO INPUT - The audio inputs are standard ¼" jacks (mono/TS). Connect
your guitar to the mono audio input using a regular ¼" instrument cable.
The pedal also accepts stereo signals using a pair of ¼" TS cables.
(4) AUDIO OUTPUT - The audio outputs are standard ¼" jacks (mono/TS).
Connect the audio output of your pedal to the next device in the signal chain,
either with a single cable or with a pair of ¼" cables for stereo operation.
4.3 Other rear panel features
(5) EXPRESSION PEDAL – Connect a ¼" TS cable to a 25 kΩ linear pot
expression pedal to control delay time, feedback, and/or level.
See Chapter 5.4 for details on conguring parameters. .
(6) BYPASS/KILL DRY – The bypass modes can be conveniently switched from
the rear panel, and are set to true bypass and kill dry o from the factory.
See Chapter 6 for details about these alternate bypass modes.
(7) MIDI IN/THRU – Connect a MIDI controller to the MIDI IN jack to control
preset changes, delay tempo, and other parameters. Pass the MIDI
information on to another device with the THRU connector.
See Chapter 8 for details.
4.4 Switching
(8) FOOTSWITCHES – The footswitches perform 5 functions –
preset, tap tempo, bank select, looping, and MASH.
• To turn one of the preset eects on, tap footswitch A, B or C. To turn the
eect o, tap the same footswitch again. Note that 2 banks of presets
are available.
• The TAP footswitch can be tapped in rhythm to set the desired tempo.
The LED will ash to indicate the current tempo. Note that taps are always
“heard” by the pedal as quarter notes, even though the Subdivision knob
will determine the actual delay rhythm.
• Holding the TAP footswitch will toggle the 2 preset banks. Bank 1 is
indicated by red LEDs, while bank 2 has green LEDs. Note that bank selection
can also be achieved by pressing up on the Bank/Store switch.
• When the Delay type selector knob is set to LOOP, the footswitches will
control Record, Play/Pause, Play Once, and Undo/Redo.
See section 5.3 for details.
• The footswitches also control the MASH function assigned to each switch.
See section 5.2 for details.
(9) INDICATOR LEDs – The LEDs above footswitches A, B and C will light to
indicate that the pedal is engaged. When preset bank 1 is selected, the LEDs
light red, and light green when bank 2 is selected. The LED above the TAP
footswitch will ash red in time with the current delay tempo. LEDs also
indicate various looping functions as detailed in Chapter 5.3.
