(EN) Step 5: More on
TonePrints
On the surface, each TonePrint PEDAL has just three parameter knobs like any normal stompbox. This arrangement keeps things fun
and simple during play. But under the hood, there can be hundreds of parameters and options available, which means that each PEDAL’s
sound can be congured to create a huge array of eects.
PLETHORA X3 comes with a selection of TonePrints pre-installed, however you can edit that list of TonePrints and collate up to 75 of your
favorites for each pedal, allowing quick and easy recall on the y, directly from PLETHORA X3.
ARTIST TonePrints
TonePrints are available through the free TonePrint App, where you will nd pre-made TonePrints that have been meticulously crafted
and ne-tuned by some of the world’s greatest musical artists in collaboration with the TC tone technicians. This selection of TonePrints
gives you options to nd the perfect sound for each eect, no matter what genre or style you want to play. Simply loading in one of these
TonePrints will drastically transform the sound and control of the eect within the pedal.
Create Your Own TonePrints
For those of you who like to get deep into sound creation and the crafting of your very own signature eects, you can also create your
own unique TonePrints using the TonePrint Editor within the App. Not only does the TonePrint Editor unlock access to hundreds of hidden
eect parameters for sound design, but you can also customize each knob, MASH footswitch and EXP to control up to three parameters
simultaneously, any way you want it.
After creating and storing your custom TonePrints in the App, you can then upload your custom TonePrints to PLETHORA X3 and add them
to your list of favorites for quick recall when creating new BOARDS.
