TC Electronic Plethora X1 TonePrint Multi-effects Pedal
The Digital Nomad
With a tiny Footprint and 14 tasty effect types, PLETHORA X1 is ready to move on when you are. It can be whatever pedal you need it to be at exactly this point of your pedalboard journey. In one phase you may be exploring all dimensions of stereo chorus, but further down the road, you may decide to experiment with compression or take a deep dive into shimmering reverb. Feel free to experiment and let PLETHORA X1 occupy whatever slot on your pedalboard where you need it to do its magic.
Being a digital nomad doesn’t necessarily mean wandering around endlessly in the desert but can also be about setting up camp for some time in one destination, yet knowing that when the urge arises, you can move on. Think of PLETHORA X1 as the one pedal that will stand by your side throughout your eternal pedalboard journey, adapting into exactly what you need at any given point.
A Box of Sonic Steroids
PLETHORA X1 is a dedicated TonePrint loader that covers the entire range of TonePrint pedals. Sonic stompbox-sized flexibility is simply an understatement. Depending on your needs and current projects, let PLETHORA X1 be an ambient and flavorful reverb - until you need it to be a slapback echo for an upcoming rockabilly gig.
Effects include: Hall of Fame 2 Reverb, Flashback 2 Delay, Helix Phaser, Viscous Vibe, Sub n Up Octaver, Brainwaves Pitch Shifter, Corona Chorus, Hypergravity Compressor, Mimiq Doubler, Vortex Flanger, Pipeline Tap Tremolo, Quintessence Harmony, Sentry Noise Gate and Shaker Vibrato.
Five Ways to Stomp
You can utilize the single footswitch on PLETHORA X1 in five different ways. In ‘latching’ mode, it simply turns the effect on and off, and in ‘momentary’, the effect is only applied for as long as you press and hold the footswitch. In ‘A/B’ mode, you can switch between two different effects, and when relevant, you can also tap the tempo, using the footswitch. And then, of course, there is the MASH function:
Mash It Up
Express yourself with the tactile footswitch layer: Simply press and MASH! With MASH, a whole new world of ways to manipulate your effects emerges. Prepare for a mind-bending journey of frozen delays, whammy-like pitch-shifting, extreme modulation and much more. We also integrated a dedicated MASH LED where the light strength follows the amount of MASH you apply. But phenomenal sound with visual feedback in real-time is really just the beginning...
Boards, Slots & TonePrints
PLETHORA X1 comes packed with great effect right out of the gates. You can flick between seven boards with two effect types pre-loaded - one in Slot A and one in Slot B. In other words, you get access to all 14 effect types from the get-go. But if you want to bring unique artist TonePrints to the table, simply upload new ones as you see fit. The boards and slots are 100% flexible, and if you want 14 different FlashBack 2 Delay TonePrints, simply upload them. The 1" LCD screen will help you keep track of what is loaded at any given time.
Connect. Upload. Go!
Connect the free TonePrint App to PLETHORA X1 via Bluetooth to effortlessly import scorching sounds from our ever-growing TonePrint library of which most of the items are created by some of the world’s best musicians. In other words, today PLETHORA X1 will drop your jaw to your lap – tomorrow it will hit the floor. The keyword here is ‘future-proof’! Speaking of, we’ll keep your PLETHORA X1 cutting edge with regular firmware updates, including new boards, TonePrints, and more…
Editing Extravaganza
You may prefer to simply use the TonePrints as they were meticulously designed by masterful players, but if you feel like adjusting them or even tweaking out your own custom TonePrints, we welcome you to go nuts in the TonePrint Editor where you gain access to a, well, plethora of effect parameters and creative possibilities!
Time to Take Control
When you have loaded your TonePrint into the PLETHORA X1, you want easy and intuitive control. Once your drummer counts you in, the time for deep editing has passed and on-the-fly control is all that matters. PLETHORA X1 can be adjusted fast via three simple knobs that let you tweak key parameters mid-song.
Set it. We Won’t Forget It.
PLETHORA X1 automatically saves your settings as you go. No need to constantly reminding yourself to hit that ‘Save’ button or fear losing your latest effect preset. We want to give you peace of mind, knowing that PLETHORA X1 has your back once the music starts playing!
Stereo Makes the World Go ‘Round
With Stereo inputs and outputs, you can make the most of the effect types that benefit from having access to a wide sonic playground. This could be mesmerizing reverbs, ever-moving delay tails, broad harmonies, lush phasing, and so much more.
