TC Electronic Plethora X1 Toneprint Loader Pedal

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.

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 flavourful 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.

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.

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.

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.
