2. Introduction
Mimiq Doubler is the first pedal in the world to perfectly distill the magic of
real studio-grade doubling. Its highly advanced doubler algorithm captures
all of the random subtle nuances in time, attack and pitch that would occur in
the studio and makes it available in a super-intuitive stompbox ready for the
stage. Mimiq Doubler gives players the option of adding up to three additional
guitar tracks. And with fine-tuned control over the tightness of the doubling
and the blend between dry and effected signals, musicians will be able to
conjure everything from subtle riff-fattening effects to ultra-realistic and tight
multi-tracked guitar lines. Now add Stereo I/O to the mix for larger-than-life live
tones and it’s clear to see that Mimiq Doubler truly is the new king of clones.
2.1 Unpacking
2.3 Setting up
Connect a 9 V power supply with the following symbol to the DC input socket of
your TC ELECTRONIC effect pedal.
This product does not come with a power supply.
We recommend using TC ELECTRONIC’s PowerPlug 9
(sold separately).
• If no power supply is available, you can run this product using a battery.
For more information on changing batteries, see “6.2 Changing the battery”.
• 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 amplifier using a
¼ " jack cable.

Your TC ELECTRONIC effect pedal box should contain the following items:
• Your TC ELECTRONIC effect pedal
• 1 TC ELECTRONIC sticker
• 1 leaflet 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 when it’s off , you shouldn’t hear it at
all. This is why this pedal sports True Bypass. When it is bypassed, it is really off
and as zero influence on your tone, resulting in optimum clarity and zero loss of
high end.
Sometimes, it is advisable to switch an effect pedal from True Bypass to Buffered
Bypass mode. For more information, see “6.2 Switching the pedal from True
Bypass to Buffered Bypass”.

3.1 Power / Computer connection
(1) POWER input - To power up your pedal, connect a power supply to its
power input socket. The power input socket of your TC ELECTRONIC effect
pedal is a standard 5.5/2.1 mm DC plug (centre = negative).
Your TC ELECTRONIC effect pedal requires a 9 V power supply providing
100 mA or more (not supplied). TC ELECTRONIC recommends using the
PowerPlug 9.
To minimize hum, use a power supply with isolated outputs. If no power
supply is available, you can run this product using a battery. For more
information on changing batteries, see “6.2 Changing the battery”.
(2) USB port - Use the standard Mini-B USB port on your TC ELECTRONIC effect
pedal to connect your pedal to a computer. If there should be firmware
updates for this pedal, they can be installed using the USB port – see
“6.1 Updating the firmware”.
