2. Introduction
The original HALL OF FAME REVERB delivered some of the most iconic reverb
sounds of all time, but HALL OF FAME 2 X4 REVERB extends that legacy of
innovation dramatically. Essentially, HALL OF FAME 2 X4 REVERB’s incredible
MASH technology adds an expression pedal to a world-class reverb stompbox
that not only responds to your touch and saves precious pedalboard space – but
blends the celestial world of reverb with the ultimate in personal expression.
Add a scintillating new Shimmer eect, and you've got a reverb pedal unlike any
other – the awe-inspiring HALL OF FAME 2 X4 REVERB.
2.1 Unpacking
Your TC Electronic eect pedal box should contain the following items:
• Your TC Electronic eect pedal
• 1 USB cable (Type A to Mini-B)
• 1 TC Electronic sticker
• 9 V power supply
• 2 rubber feet
• Quick Start Guide
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.
2.3 Setting Up
Connect the included 9 V power supply, or a regulated 9 V power supply with at
least 300 mA and the following symbol (center negative) to the DC input socket of
your TC Electronic eect pedal.
• Plug the power supply into a power outlet.
• Connect your instrument to the input jack using a ¼" jack cable.
• Connect the output jack to your amplier using a ¼" jack cable.
• The pedal also supports stereo operation (see Chapter 4.2).
3. TonePrint
This TC Electronic product supports TonePrints. To learn more about TonePrints,
go to tcelectronic.com/toneprint/
3.1 What are TonePrints?
When you look at your TC Electronic eect pedal, you’ll only see a few knobs.
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 eect pedal, the relationship between its controls
and many parameters “under the hood” are dened by developers, musicians
and product specialists who live and breathe sound. This gives you an excellent
starting point: a great-sounding pedal with well-balanced controls.
But wouldn’t it be cool to have world-famous guitar players – guys like
Paul Gilbert, Guthrie Govan, John Petrucci or Steve Vai – virtually rewire your
reverb pedal, dening what should happen “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, redening 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 chapter 3.2 for details) – and with the amazing
TonePrint app, you can even create your own signature pedal, tweaked
specically to your liking.
You can change the TonePrints in your pedal as often as you like, and the best
part: It’s totally free.
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 when it’s o, 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.
Sometimes, it is advisable to switch an eect pedal from True Bypass to Buered
Bypass mode. For more information, see “6.2 Switching the pedal from True
Bypass to Buered Bypass”.

3.2 Transferring TonePrints to your pedal
TonePrints can be transferred via USB connection or via TCs
“Beaming” technology.
Transferring via USB – step by step
• Connect the pedal to the power supply.
• Connect your pedal via USB cable to your computer or smar tphone/tablet
(use a “USB On-The-Go” adapter for Android devices and the Camera
Connection Kit for iOS devices).
• Launch the TonePrint app and follow the instructions to turn the TonePrint
selector knob to a TonePrint slot.
• Find the TonePrint you want to audition or use. You can browse TonePrints
by Artist or Product (i.e. pedal type). Browsing by Artist or Product is
selected in the Settings part of the app (press the “ ” icon).
• Listen to the new sound through your pedal. As long as you’re
connected via USB, selecting a TonePrint will change the sound in your
product immediately.
• Alternatively, you can create your own TonePrint using the editor part of the
app – see section 3.3.
• Press “Store in Pedal” to store the TonePrint of your choice in the selected
TonePrint slot.
• Turn the TonePrint selector knob to a dierent slot if you want to store more
TonePrints.
3.3 Editing TonePrints with the TonePrint App
The TonePrint app allows you to use TonePrints created by your favorite guitar
and bass players. But this is only the start. Using the TonePrint editor within the
app, you can create your very own signature pedal sounds. All of TCs own ar tist
TonePrints in the Library tab (or alternatively all TonePrints in the Templates tab)
can be edited, as can your own User TonePrints. In order to use the editor the
TonePrint pedal must be connected to your computer or smartphone/tablet via
USB, like described previously. Simply navigate to a TonePrint or Template and
click on the “ ” icon to enter the editor part of the app.
Features of the editor part of the app
• Use the TonePrint app to build your own custom sounds and save them in
your pedal or as User TonePrints which will show up in the User tab.
• Enjoy complete control over all eect parameters and eect behavior - it's
your vision, your sound.
• Customize knob function and knob range to suit your needs and sounds.
• Audition your sonic creations in real time - make changes on the y and
listen to results immediately.
• Works with PC, Mac, and smartphones (iOS and Android).
Beaming TonePrints to your pedal – step by step
• When not connected via USB, simply launch the TonePrint app on your
smartphone.
• Navigate to the TonePrint you want to use. You can browse by Artist or by
Product (as described above).
• Plug your guitar or bass into the pedal.
• Turn your TonePrint pedal on.
• Turn up the volume on your instrument and set the pickup selec tor to
one pickup.
• Hold the speaker of your smartphone next to the chosen pickup and touch
“Beam to Pedal”. Follow instructions on your screen. A series of green ashes
of the LED will conrm successful beaming.

power input socket. The power input socket of your TC Electronic eect pedal
is a standard 5.5/2.1 mm DC plug (centre = negative).
Your TC Electronic eect pedal requires a 9 V power supply providing 300 mA
or more. To minimize hum, use a power supply with isolated outputs.
(2) USB port - Use the standard Mini-B USB port on your TC Electronic
eect pedal to connect your pedal to a computer. If there are rmware
updates for this pedal, they can be installed using the USB port –
see “7.1 Updating the rmware”.
4.2 Audio in and out
(3) AUDIO INPUT - The audio inputs are standard ¼" jacks (mono/TS).
Connect your guitar to the mono audio input using a regular ¼" instrument
cable. The pedal also accepts stereo signals using a pair of ¼" TS cables.
(4) AUDIO OUTPUT - The audio outputs are standard ¼" jacks (mono/TS).
Connect the audio output of your pedal to the next device in the signal chain,
either with a single cable or with a pair of ¼" cables for stereo operation.
4.3 Other rear panel features
(5) EXPRESSION PEDAL – Connect a ¼" TS cable to a 25 kΩ linear pot
expression pedal to control decay, tone, and/or level. See Chapter 5.3 for
details on conguring parameters.
(6) BYPASS/KILL DRY – The bypass modes can be conveniently switched from
the rear panel, and are set to true bypass and kill dry o from the factory.
See Chapter 6 for details about these alternate bypass modes.
(7) MIDI IN/THRU – Connect a MIDI controller to the MIDI IN jack to
control preset changes, decay, level, and other parameters. Pass the
MIDI information on to another device with the THRU connector.
See Chapter 8 for details.
4.4 Switching
(8) FOOTSWITCHES – Tap one of the footswitches to selec t presets 1-4 or 5-8.
Tap a currently-active preset to bypass the pedal. Press and hold a footswitch
to engage MASH and control the selected parameter. See Chapter 5.2 for
details on using MASH.
(9) INDICATOR LEDs – These light to indicate presets 1-4 or 5-8, depending on
which bank is selected. Presets 1-4 (Bank 1) will light up red, while presets
5-8 (Bank 2) will light up green. The bank selection will be remembered
across power cycles.
4.5 Eect controls
Please note that the knob assignments on your TC Electronic pedal are the default
assignments. Using the TonePrint app, you can rewire all knobs so they control
one or several parameters of your choice.
(10) Reverb type selector – Select the type of reverb or TonePrint with this
knob. The available types are described in the following section (4.6).
(11) DECAY knob – Use this knob to adjust the length of the reverb.
The maximum length of reverb depends on the type that is
currently selected.
(12) PRE DELAY knob – Pre-delay is the time between the direct sound and the
reverb. Selecting a longer pre-delay can help maintain presence and clarity
when using heavy reverb.

(13) TONE knob – Use the Tone knob to adjust the brightness of the reverb from
“dark” to “crisp”.
(14) BANK/STORE switch – Press the switch up to toggle between presets 1-4
(Bank 1) or 5-8 (Bank 2). The LEDs will light red when Bank 1 is selected and
light green when Bank 2 is selected.
(15) Adjusting any of the knobs will override the current preset. To keep these
changes, press the Bank/Store switch down briey.
(16) LEVEL knob – This knob adjusts the volume level of the reverb. The direct,
unprocessed signal is always passed through at the original (unity) level.
The Level knob only controls how much reverb is mixed with the dry signal.
(17) MASH LED - This will light up when the MASH function is engaged by
pressing down rmly on one of the footswitches. The LED gets brighter
as the footswitch receives more pressure, giving visual feedback to how
the expression is controlling the assigned parameter(s). See section 5.2
for details.
4.6 Reverb types
ROOM reverb
The Room reverb simulates a relatively small, well-furnished room. In such a
room, many reections are absorbed by sof t materials, and the sound is reected
and sustained only by the walls (covered with wallpaper), windows and maybe
some furniture.
HALL reverb
MOD (Modulated) reverb
Early digital reverbs often sounded sterile and cold, so engineers used to add a
chorus to the reverb to get a “warmer” sound. The modulated reverb goes a step
further and allows you to have dierent modulation eec ts on the reverb tail
for even more tonal options. This reverb is really noticeable and cuts through in
live situations.
LOFI (Low-Fidelity) reverb
Low-Fi reverb is a “down and dirty” reverb. Use Low-Fi and show your awareness
of aiming in the straight opposite direction of the “smooth”, discrete studio
reverb types. Make a statement!
AMBI (Ambient) reverb
Ambience is a cool, very short reverb that emulates the feeling of environment.
Perfect to compensate for that desert-dry feeling of a close-mic’d cabinet.
GATE reverb
Gated is the classic reverb type typically heard on snare and kick drums on many
80s recordings. A gate is used to rather abruptly shorten the reverb decay. Try it
out – and stand out from the common usage of reverbs on guitar.
TONEPRINT
Select one of the 6 TonePrint settings to access one of the default settings,
or create your own presets! See Chapter 3 for more details on creating and
loading TonePrints.
The Hall reverb is a broad yet slightly diuse reverb. It simulates a large
environment but adds a distinctive acoustic avor to the source material.
Great discreet reverb for large epic sounds at longer decay settings but also
perfect for genuine ambient sounds at shorter decay settings.
SPRING reverb
The Spring reverb has been designed to reproduce the sound of the old spring
reverbs, such as the ones used in vintage guitar amps.
PLATE reverb
Prior to the digital era, reverb was created either using springs or large metallic
plates. A plate reverb is recognized by its very diuse and bright sound and is
excellent for guitar when you search for a signicant guitar reverb.
CHURCH reverb
Church reverb is a highly diuse, large reverb that is recognizable for its
emulation of the many hard surfaces of dierent 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.
SHIMMER reverb
The Shimmer reverb pitch shif ts the reverb up an octave through each feedback
loop, creating a haunting and other-worldly sound. This is a very unique eect
that may open some interesting and experimental options, particularly when
paired with the MASH function.

5. Operation
5.1 Signal chain placement
The HALL OF FAME 2 can be used several ways depending on your situation. While there isn’t necessarily a right and wrong use, here are the most common scenarios.
Example 1: Before the amp’s input
Input
Guitar
Combo Amp
Input
(Optional amp
for stereo operation)
HALL OF FAME 2 x4
Chorus
(mono or stereo
Drive pedal
When using the HALL OF FAME 2 X4 before the amp’s input, it is generally best to place it after your other pedals. If any stereo eec ts are used before the reverb pedal,
you can preserve this stereo signal by connecting to both of the HOF’s inputs and sending the output jacks to dierent amps or to a stereo input on a mixer.
Example 2: In the amp’s FX loop
5.2 MASH switch
The MASH function on the HALL OF FAME 2 X4 is a very exciting and innovative
feature that allows continuous control of a desired parameter through pressure
on one of the footswitches. This opens up countless creative possibilities,
particularly with the user-dened TonePrints.
Hall of Fame 2 x4
FX SendFX Return
Input
Guitar
Combo Amp
The HALL OF FAME 2 X4 input can handle a very wide range of signal levels thanks
to high internal headroom, and can easily be used with guitar or line-level
signals. Simply connect the amp’s Send jack to the HOF input, and connect the
output to the amp’s Return jack.
The standard toggle function of the footswitches react to single, quick presses
of the switch engage a preset. If you press the switch slightly harder and hold
it down, the MASH function will engage, causing the associated LED to light up
slightly. As you press down harder on the switch, the LED lights up brighter and
the parameter that has been assigned to this function will change accordingly.
Releasing the footswitch will exit the MASH function and the LED will turn
o, but the pedal will still be engaged. This operation is the same for MASH
parameters assigned to any of the 4 footswitches.
Note that the pressure needed to reach the maximum MASH level is only
10 kg (around 20 pounds), which can be achieved just by squeezing with your
ngers. You shouldn’t need to lean too much weight on the pedal. With some
practice, this feature will become familiar and expressive much like a wah or
volume pedal.
Using the TonePrint app, you can assign your own parameters (up to 3!) to this
unique feature and save a custom preset that allows you to create sounds that
very few reverb units have been capable of before. See Chapter 3 for more details
on TonePrints.
Page 9
9 HALL OF FAME 2 X4 REVERB User Manual
5.3 Expression Pedal Setup
Connecting an expression pedal allows continuous control of decay, tone, or
reverb level. You will be able to dene which parameters are controlled with the
pedal, as well as the range of control. For example, if controlling the delay level
with a pedal, you may not want the “heel down” position to turn the delay level
all the way o, and you may not want the “toe down” position to actually reach
maximum output level achievable with the Level knob.
It’s important to note that the Flashback 2 X4 does not work with standard
250 kΩ guitar volume pedals. You will need a 25 kΩ linear pot expression pedal
for proper function.
Follow these steps to assign one or more parameters to an expression pedal:
• Connect an expression pedal to the EXP PEDAL input.
• Connect your pedal to a computer or smartphone/tablet via USB cable.
• Open the TonePrint app.
• Navigate to the Product Settings tab and click the 'Calibrate expression
pedal' button.
• Navigate to the Expression Pedal tab to assign parameters that will be
controlled with the expression pedal. The pedal response curve is indicated
in a graphic display, and a peg will move along the curve as the pedal is
rocked back and forth.
• Follow the instructions for calibration. When the heel and toe positions have
been established, click 'Done'.
Page 10
10 HALL OF FAME 2 X4 REVERB User Manual
6. Bypass Mode
6.1 True Bypass and Buered Bypass explained
True Bypass mode is a hard-wire bypass that gives absolutely no coloration of
tone when the pedal is bypassed. This is the default mode for your eect pedal.
Using True Bypass on all pedals is a perfect choice in setups with a few pedals and
relatively short cables before and after the pedals.
If...
• you use a long cable between your guitar and the rst 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 set the rst and the last pedal in
the signal chain to Buered Bypass mode.
Can you hear the dierence between a pedal in True
Bypass or Buered Bypass mode?
Maybe, maybe not – many factors apply: active vs. passive pick-ups, single-coil
vs. humbucker, cable quality, amp impedance and more. We cannot give a single
ultimate answer. Use your ears and nd the best solution for your setup!
Reverb spillover
When the pedal is in True Bypass mode, switching a preset o will turn the
entire pedal o, including the reverb decay that would normally be heard fading
away naturally. In Buered Bypass mode, disengaging a preset will still allow
the reverb tail to “spill over” and fade out naturally even though the pedal is no
longer processing reverb for the incoming audio. If this is an important feature for
you, it may aect your decision to use Buered over True Bypass.
7. Maintenance
7.1 Updating the rmware
TC may provide updates for the built-in sof tware of your pedal, the rmware.
Updating your TC pedal’s rmware requires...
• a computer running Microsoft Windows or OS X with a standard
USB interface
• the specied DC power supply for your pedal.
Preparing the rmware update
• Download the newest rmware from the “Support” page for your TC pedal.
There are updaters for Microsoft Windows (these are ZIP archives containing
the rmware installer) and for OS X (these are disk image les containing the
rmware installer).
• Unplug all cables (including the power supply) from your TC pedal.
• Connect the pedal to your computer using a USB cable.
• Press and hold the footswitch on your TC pedal. If your TC pedal has more
than one footswitch, press and hold the leftmost footswitch.
• Insert the DC power supply plug.
• The LED on your pedal should turn green. If your TC pedal has more than
one LED, the leftmost LED should turn green. This indicates that the pedal is
ready to receive the software update.
• Release the footswitch.
• Your TC pedal will now be recognized as an updatable device.
Applying the rmware update
6.2 Switching between True Bypass and
Buered Bypass
While some TC pedals require the back to be removed, the bypass mode on the
HALL OF FAME 2 X4 can be easily switched on the rear panel.
6.3 Kill-dry on/o
When you activate Kill-dry, the direct signal is removed from the pedal’s output.
This mode can be useful when you place the HALL OF FAME 2 X4 in an amp’s
parallel eects loop. Parallel loops have their own mix control, so you can send
a strong reverb-only signal from the pedal back to the amp, and use the eects
loop mix knob to set an appropriate mix of reverb signal. This can theoretically
preserve more of the amp’s original tone by avoiding passing the entire signal
through additional A/D conversion.
• Quit all MIDI-related applications (e.g. your DAW) on your computer and
launch the rmware updater you have downloaded in step 1.
• In the rmware updater app, select your TC pedal from the drop-down list
under the “STEP 1” heading.
• When the “Update” button under the “STEP 2” heading turns green, click it.
• The updated rmware will now be transferred to your TC pedal. Wait for the
progress bar to reach 100%. When the update procedure is complete, the
pedal will automatically restart.
