[NAMM] TC Electronic Shaker Vibrato

This pedal features two types of vibrato: a classic true pitch vibrato and ‘latch mode’ where the effect is only active when you press and hold the switch. This allows for subtle vibrato and faux-whammy bar effects without having to tap dance all night. Speed, Depth, Color and Ramp controls let the users make their own ‘shakes’ on the fly.

These new pedals feature a new  concept  called  ‘TonePrint’  that gives  users  access  to  the  sounds  of famous guitar heroes. A TonePrint  isn’t  just a static preset, it’s a re-tuning of  the pedal. TC Electronic has  collaborated  with John  Petrucci, Ron ‘Bumblefoot’ Thal, Joe Perry, Orianthi and Doug Aldrich –  to create  the first batch of TonePrints,

A simple USB cable connects these pedals to any PC or Mac for the actual Tone Transfusion. Each pedal is capable of holding one TonePrint at a time, but the concept is unlimited as users can swap TonePrints as many times as they want. All of these custom made TonePrints can be downloaded at TC Electronic’s website for free.
