(EN) Introduction Congratulations! You have just bought a reverb pedal that is a steppingstone to a world of inspiration, innovation and tone. We are proud to present Hall Of Fame Reverb. In the music industry, TC Electronic is synonymous with the best reverb out there – a reverb that you know from countless songs and classic albums, but that’s not all.
1 - Effect on/off (true bypass) 2 - 1/4 inch mono jack input 3 - 1/4 inch mono jack input (for stereo in) 4 - 1/4 inch mono jack output 5 - 1/4 inch mono jack output (for stereo out) 6 - FX level control 7 - Decay time control 8 - Pre Delay short/long 9 - Tone control 10 - Reverb type selector 11 - Power in (9VDC) 12 - USB connection for exchanging TonePrint settings and software updates.
Connecting Input jacks - Use MONO for mono input and both MONO and STEREO if connecting a stereo source. If you run the pedal on battery we recommend removing the mono jack to preserve battery power when you don’t play. Output jacks - connect to another pedal or directly into an amp or mixer. Use MONO for mono setups and both MONO and STEREO for stereo setups. Notice that it is possible to select between true bypass and buffered bypass mode via a dip switch located under the battery cover.
The controls FX LEVEL Controls the level of the reverb. Notice that the level of the direct signal is always passed at the original level (unity gain). Only the level of the reverb is changed when turning the FX level knob. DECAY The Decay knob sets the decay time of the reverb. Please note that the max. decay time on the different reverb types varies due to the nature to the reverbs. TONE By adjusting the tone you change the emphasis on high and low frequencies in the reverb from dark to crisp.
Reverb Types The reverb naturally found in various types of rooms depends on many different factors: The size of the room, the material the walls are made of (wood, stone etc.), is the room furnished or not, how high is the ceiling, is it a church, etc. ROOM The Room algorithm simulates a relatively small, well furnished room. In such a room, many reflections are absorbed by soft materials, and the sound is reflected and sustained only by the walls (covered with wallpaper), windows and maybe some furniture.
PLATE Prior to the digital era, reverb was created either using springs or large metallic plates. A Plate reverb is recognized by its very diffuse and bright sound and is excellent for guitar when you search for a significant guitar reverb. CHURCH A highly diffuse large reverb that is recognizable for its emulation of the many hard surfaces of different shapes found in traditional church rooms. If you are looking for a large reverb and think the Hall is too clean and subtle – try Church.
TILE If you want the “bathroom” effect, without actually sounding like you’re playing in your bathroom. The Tiled Room reverb simulates the qualities of a small to medium size tiled room with its many reflections and at the same time it behaves respectfully towards the original source material. This is not a soft smooth reverb - this one cuts through the mix. AMB (AMBIENCE) Ambience is a cool very short reverb that emulates the feeling of environment.
TonePrint Think of the knobs and switches on your pedal as a few handles that actually control a large number of parameters. TC Electronic staff has defined the controls, - but wouldn’t it just be cool to let the world’s leading guitar players contribute their own definition of how the controls should work? YES - this is TonePrint. We allow top guitar players to dig out the pedal’s hidden tonal potential, re-define the controls and make their own TonePrints.
Bypass modes and Kill Dry on/off Unscrew the back-plate and look for the two small dip-switches in the upper left corner. The upper dip-switch (closest to the DC 9V in connection), switches between True Bypass mode (default) and Buffered Bypass mode. True Bypass Buffered Bypass Kill-Dry - off Kill-Dry - on True Bypass – is a hard-wire bypass that gives absolutely no coloration of tone when the pedal is bypassed.
Buffered Bypass – If you use a long cable between your guitar and the first pedal or if you use many pedals on your board or if you use a long cable from your board to the amp, then the best solution will most likely be to activate the buffer in the first and last pedal in the signal chain. Can you hear the difference between a pedal in True Bypass or Buffered Bypass mode? Maybe, maybe not, – many factors apply. Active/passive pick-ups, single coil/humbucker, cable quality, amp impedance and more.
