I love TC Electronic gear! Great sounds, great functionality and properly robust. Rebuilt my pedal board around a 2nd hand Plethora X5 (funded by selling a couple of single TC pedals), a programmable Boss EQ pedal, with an overdrive and fuzz to complement the amp’s drive channel. For what and where I play, and the variety of instruments I play (6+12 acoustic, electric, Weissenborn) this pretty much covers my every need.
Can't wait to get mine. Sweetwater says it'll be available this month, but we'll see. Paul, of all of the guitar players out there, you're definitely one of them🤘🏻
that's very cool, and the price is great. I can definitely see using it as the extra pedal on my board to fill in for effects I only use once in a while, or as a second reverb/delay
Very nice demo. I have been a big fan of the Toneprint approach (Have Alter Ego x 4, and used to have a HOF). I might have to check this out to augment my little fly-rig (even adding to HX Stomp, Tonex One).
I may buy 2. One for FX Loop and one for the front of amp, because of the variety of effects it has. Ironically I already have 3 TC pedals, 2 in FX Loop (FB2 + Dreamscape) and Hypergravity in front. I just read Plethora X5 can have FX sent to FX Loop and In Front of amp ... but way out of my budget, since I already have half of these pedals, TC + others 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.
I know new X5 and X3 prices are going up, but used units in excellent- very good condition are about the price of 3 standalone TC pedals. Bought my X5 for c£300 c8 mths ago, funded by selling a Hypergravity, Corona chorus and an Alter Ego … worth thinking about …
Thanks for the vid! I’m looking at getting one of these 👍 I’ve got a Hall of Fame Reverb and it’s great. Having all the other FX in one seems like a no brainer for me.
How do you switch from one effect preset to another? Do you need to use a secondary switch? Would be a drag to have to lean down and manually switch on the selector knob.
The frets on that Strat look MASSIVE. Way bigger looking than my jumbo SS on my ESP lol. I think it's all the black mucky lines along them on the sides. Sure a fantastic sounding guitar though!
it's the Hall Of Fame 2 Reverb, and Plethora X1 is only $20 more giving you "more" effects 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.
@TheStudioRats watched thr tc demo. You can set the switch to flip between a/b giving toy twice as many effects. Very cool and something that's a pretty fair price tbh. Another great demo 👌
Yes the A B mode Basically you can be on A effect then press to turn on or off, then hold it switches to B then press turns B on or off Essentially for someone who has to perform live this thing could easily be two different effects without ever having to touch the knobs. Maybe you have it set to a quirky delay you only use once in the set, and then a chorus maybe you use on a few songs. Lots of possibilities
I am a big adopter of MIDI, and admit it would be cool to have onthis, , but for the price-point I can deal with the simplicity of it in a limited range gigging environment. The Alter Ego x 4 has MIDI but the implementation is pretty poor. No ability to change midi Channel for instance and only selects 3 presets.

Just checked on Thomann site. There’s a 5-7 weeks wait! That is about 1 light year in guitar gear time.
Sweetwater check them out
@ I’m in France and the fees make it expensive, so Thomann get the business. Also 30 day returns make dealing with them really useful.
Not want to be that guy… but a light year is a distance, not time 🙂
@ … it’s the ‘year’ part that creates the confusion, right? How far in one year… see this is why I cant be trusted with MIDI
@@aapddd I didn’t want to be that guy either……but I was just about to correct him, but you beat me.
Oh man, this is exactly what I've been after. Sounds killer too. Great playing!

I always enjoy your videos! They are very informative and the playing is always tasteful!

Really like that strat ,sustains for days 🔥🔥
Great review, I may need one of these in my life!
Yes you do
Forget the Plethora, we need to talk about that guitar!!
theres a vid on the channek
very nice idea keeping things compact.
The Best guitar tone on RUclips
cheers!

Good choice!
Some nice chords!
cheers
Perfect pedal for an acoustic board.
Hey now, hey now, the dream is over....all time favorite song 😊
its a classic
How do you switch from one effect preset to another? Do you need to use a secondary switch? Would be a drag to have to lean down and manually switch on the selector knob.
Hahaha, everytime I try a new chorus, the first thing I always play is either Purple Rain or Don’t Dream it’s over.
It’s basically by default 😂
And the intro to Barracuda or Unchained for flanger 🤘🏾🤣🫡
Hey now hey now
amazing, I had a line6 M something that did something similar, I think it was limited to whatever pedals and effects that were in it.
What song is played at 1:35? I loved that.
This desire by The Studio Rats
That strat sounds gorgeous. Are the pickups original?
They are
@TheStudioRats Are they noiseless or true single coil? This is one of the best Strat sounds I have heard in years, really vibey.
Paul! That guitar sounds beautiful! Which amp or other are you using here in the demo?
Hi I was using our Mezzabarba Quad Cortex pack
@@TheStudioRats Wow. Very nice. Thanks.
The Strat is the paint brush…Paul is the master.
That Strat is mute without the player.
@@TheStudioRatsany chance of a Kemper version? Sounds amazing!
Great player and stratocaster
cheers
The frets on that Strat look MASSIVE. Way bigger looking than my jumbo SS on my ESP lol. I think it's all the black mucky lines along them on the sides. Sure a fantastic sounding guitar though!
biggest you can get, they are standard on that guitar
Can you have 2 mods at the same time. Like chorus and reverb? With the older versions you have more footswitches.
Like you say that reverb is worth it alone Decent price too
it's the Hall Of Fame 2 Reverb, and Plethora X1 is only $20 more giving you "more" effects
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.
How'd you get the tone print app to work? Mine has been nothing but problems right out of the box. It will not connect
it just works on my system
I would have no problem selling all of my TC Electronic pedals for this and save space.
Plethorax 1... didn't the Borg assimilate that place?
im sure they had something to do with this pedal also.
Isn’t there a way to toggle between 2 effects on the foot switch ?
possibly, ill look into it.

I\ve got a Tone X One, a Line 6 HX One, do I really need a PLethora X1?
if youre happy with what you have, then no.
Super!
Thank you! Cheers!
Hi. Really like watching your content but please can you confirm if these are sponsored videos. Cheers. D
if it is a sponsored video, I have to disclose that and a sponsored video message appears on the video.
Train Tracks for frets? Huge.
Crazy you can get this pedal for $124
Gee, you need to look after your guitars Paul. Great video though, amazing pedal.
yep its a bit smashed up.
So modulation+delay+reverb.....wow👍
No, I think you can only use one at a time
the reverb has modulation built in
Sounds great but too complicated for my life.
this is the least complicated unit ever.
Why on earth didn’t they add midi. It would be perfect then
Because most players have no idea what MIDI is or how they could use it?

@@LysanderLHsounds low IQ to me. It’s not hard
@@trebleboost7as always with these products they miss vital stuff out
Why didn’t TC Electronics include an authentic Dumble Amp as part of the price of the pedal?
