What are TonePrints?

When you look at your TC Electronic effect ped-
al, you’ll only see a few knobs. Actually, for some 
pedals, it’s just one knob. So – one knob, one 
function, right?

Actually, there’s a lot more to it than meets the 
eye.

Star-tweaked signature sounds

When TC Electronic builds an effect pedal, the 
relationship between its controls and many pa-
rameters “under the hood” are defined by devel-
opers, musicians and product specialists who 
live and breathe sound. This gives you an excel-
lent starting point: a great-sounding pedal with 
well-balanced controls.

But wouldn’t it be cool to have world-famous 
guitar players – guys like Steve Morse,  Guthrie 
GovanJohn Petrucci or Joe Perry – virtually re-
wire your delay pedal, defining what should hap-
pen “behind the scenes”?

And how about doing this yourself?

This is exactly what TonePrint allows you to do.

TC Electronic is working with top guitar players 
who explore a pedal’s hidden tonal potential, re-
defining the controls and creating their personal 
TonePrints. And we are making these custom 
TonePrints available to you. Uploading them to 
your pedal is really easy (see “Transferring Tone-
Prints to your pedal using the TonePrint app”
) – 
and with the amazing TonePrint Editor, you can 
even create your own signature pedal, tweaked 
specifically to your liking.

You can change the TonePrint in your pedal as 
often as you like, and the best part:

It’s totally free.

Transferring TonePrints to your 

pedal using the TonePrint app

Being able to virtually rewire your TC Electronic 
effect pedal wouldn’t be much use if you needed 
a lot of extra equipment to do it. This is why we 
created the TonePrint app. The TonePrint app is 
free software for popular smartphones that al-
lows you to “beam” new TonePrints right into 
your effect pedal whenever and wherever you 
feel like it.

Obtaining the TonePrint app

If you own an iPhone, you can download the 
TonePrint app from Apple’s App Store.

If you own an Android phone, you will find the 
TonePrint app on Google Play.

Once you have the app, no additional downloads 
or in-app purchases are required. You can ac-
cess all available TonePrints from within the app, 
and all TonePrints are free.
