TC Electronic is getting into the multi-effects pedal game with their brand new Plethora X1. Right up top, the Plethora X1 offers up 14 different effects:
- 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
- Shaker Vibrato
The Plethora X1 is also a dedicated TonePrint loader that covers the entire range of TonePrint pedals. You can flick between seven boards with two effect types pre-loaded – one in Slot A and one in Slot B. The boards and slots are 100% flexible, and are compatible with your uploaded TonePrint tones. The 1″ LCD screen will help you keep track of what is loaded at any given time.
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 there’s the MASH function, which offers frozen delays, whammy-like pitch-shifting, extreme modulation and much more.
The TC Electronic Plethora X1 is available here for $179.
