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
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 if you don’t, 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”.
