Vintage Pedals

WELCOME

Congratulations on the purchase of your new Vintage pedal from
TC Electronic.

The Vintage pedals from TC Electronic will awaken any slumbering
desire to revisit the past with today's knowledge. All pedals are build on
a classical approach to guitar effects and sport a perfect symbiosis with
the TC Guitar legacy. From giants of the past like the SCF pedal, over
newly released VPD1 and G-System, TC Electronic offers you a
complete range of guitar effects.

This manual covers the following products:

Vintage Compressor, Vintage Tremolo, Vintage Overdrive, Vintage
Distortion, Vintage Dual Distortion and Vintage Delay.

Do you want true and original compression? The Vintage Compressor
gives you an uncolored and unbiased sound. With clarity and dynamics
of virtuosic dimensions and steadfast character, you can crank up the
compression level to max. Even out any indecisive signals by cranking
down the high-input signals and boosting the low ones - and do it
without loosing any of the tasty lucidity and dynamics of your original
sound. From classic percussive compression types to loads of sustain,
the options are right here.

Vintage Compressor

Connections

Input - 1/4” connection for input signal. Connect your guitar here.

Output - 1/4” connection for output. Connect the output to your amp or

mixer.

LED - On/Off indication.

Controls

Comp Drive - Sets the compression amount. The higher setting the
lower Threshold and the more makeup-gain is applied.

Attack Time - Determines how fast the compression is achieved. A
short Attack time combined with a high Comp Drive setting gives a very
aggressive compression, where a longer attack time gives a more
subtle compression that reduces the dynamics of the signal.

Output Level - Output level control that in maximum position gives a
boost of approximately 3dB.

Vintage Tremolo

INTRODUCTION

Remember those tube amps with that extremely creamy and alluring
tremolo? The Vintage Tremolo reconstructs exactly that sound, yet it
gives you all the power to adjust according to your taste or mood. If you
dig a more saturated expression, just boost the signal. If you want to go
really slow and really deep adjust the speed and depth knobs. The
mode knob lets you switch between soft and hard tremolo.
