2. Introduction
WireTap Ri Recorder is the new must-have tool for every serious songwriter
out there. With this ultra-compact pedal rmly secured to your pedalboard
you’ll never see yourself lose that killer ri or super-catchy melody ever again
when inspiration strikes. Just hit record, jam on like you’re used to, and begin
building your majestic song catalogue right there on the spot in collaboration
with the free WireTap app. McCartney had Lennon, Heteld has Hammett,
you have WireTap!
• Pedal-simple ri recorder - Capture ideas instantly when inspiration strikes
• Free WireTap App - Work on your songs on the go
• Record up to 8 hours of high-quality audio on the pedal
We guitarists tend to trust our own memory too much. We create that million-
dollar ri, tell ourselves we’ll remember it for later, and when we return…
GONE! faster than Vanilla Ice’s career. We take notes, use voice recording apps
but nothing really sticks. There’s simply too many steps and distractions from the
moment of inspiration to when it’s captured. With WireTap there’s only one step,
or rather one stomp. Press record and start playing, WireTap will take care of the
rest right there on your pedalboard.
2.1 Unpacking
Your TC ELECTRONIC eect pedal box should contain the following items:
• Your TC ELECTRONIC eect pedal
• 1 TC ELECTRONIC sticker
• 1 leaet about TC’s guitar FX product range
Inspect all items for signs of transit damage. In the unlikely event of transit
damage, inform the carrier and supplier.
If damage has occurred, keep all packaging, as it can be used as evidence of
excessive handling force.
2.2 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 o and
has zero inuence on your tone, resulting in optimum clarity and zero loss of
high end.
2.3 Setting up
Connect a 9 V power supply with the following symbol to the DC input socket of
your TC ELECTRONIC eect pedal.
This product does not come with a power supply.
We recommend using TC ELECTRONIC’s PowerPlug 9
(sold separately).
• Plug the power supply into a power outlet.
• Connect your instrument to the in jack on the right side of the pedal using a
¼" jack cable.
• Connect the out jack on the left side of the pedal to your amplier using a
¼" jack cable.
