What is TonePrint? - TC Electronic's Tore Mogensen explains

http://www.tcelectronic.com/toneprint-the-concept

TonePrint gives you instant access to tones that are custom-tweaked by your own guitar heroes! We have gathered a vast and ever expanding list that can only be described as the definitive who's who in guitar, and asked them to customize our new pedals with their signature sounds, the tones that made them famous. This allows you to directly interact with the sounds provided by the people that inspire you to play.

Using TonePrint as a steppingstone to your favorite tone will not bring you close to the sounds of your guitar heroes, it gives you their actual sounds! You don't have to mess around with vague patches like 'Meve Storse' anymore, this is the real deal, an instant jolt of tone right from the source: your favorite guitarist.

that's pretty neat, but what happens when i want to switch from say, a David Gilmour delay to a John Petrucci delay in a live set? or mid-song, even?

[tcelectronic]

@wilky1189 You buy two pedals. :)

[mingoos4294]

Awesome stuff guys. XD Btw. What's this guitar he's using??

[tcelectronic]

@mingoos4294 Suhr, I think.

[robertholsman]

Awesome stuff guys - can't wait to see/hear them for real! Do you think at some point in the future users will have access to the TonePrint software to make our own toneprints?

[tcelectronic]

@robertholsman At some point this may become an option, however the software presently, as you can see used in the "making of" videos we have of several TonePrints, is very complex and not fit for consumer use. In future there may be a user-version made available. But remember, these are small, cheap, simple stompboxes. There are plenty of effects units capable of doing all the things you wish in the Nova and G series of TC products :)

"""Do you think at some point in the future users will have access to the TonePrint software to make our own toneprints?"""

that's what I would like to know

[tcelectronic]

@jaysterdude If you expect such things from a simple stompbox you're looking at the wrong product. We have high-quality effects units like the Nova pedals, G-system and other rack units like the G-Major2 for what it seems you want. These pedals are our take at a small, simple and easy to use stompbox effect unit. It's not a replacement for a pedal that's far more expensive. Not that we've released price info, so I don't know where you know it's too expensive from ;)

[kanirip]

@tcelectronic But it clearly *is* possible from a simple stompbox - because you do it! All you need to do is release the software.

[kanirip]

@tcelectronic ... no, YOU provide more toneprint slots. :(

[kanirip]

@tcelectronic But the nova is not capable of the things that toneprint can do, is it? and the G-system is too big for a lot of people....

[Deathrape2001]

So it's like a $30 used multi-FX pedal off Ebay, except this 1 has no interface screen & U need 2 hook it 2 a laptop 1'st, & it's smaller & costs $300 ? =)) Oh, the 'innovation'. Oh & don't forget 2 subtract the distortions?

[waylay00]

Seems cool but rather gimmicky.

[bigjohnnygee123]

@nuskooltone Don't be a corksniffer. Digital is easily as good as analogue now. Listen to the nova delay, the Empress products and even these.

[MrMetalmafia]

make a tone like acle from tesseract or misha of periphery for it and you'll make a fortune

[johnydeltablues]

this is a bullshit product,nothing revolutionary about it...i know it,all these people here know it, you know it,and even my grandma knows it....

[NuSkoolTone]

One more point I couldn't fit in my previous post: While digital is great in it's own way, the fact that these are DIGITAL takes the CHARM out of Analog pedals and WHY they are so sought after in the first place. YES, there IS a difference to the sound! Ya know how PODS have yet to TRULY, FAITHFULLY replace real tube amps? Same kinda thing! There's a difference. If there wasn't there wouldn't be such a HUGE boutique ANALOG pedal market. Just think about it before you drink the Kool-Aid. ;)

[NuSkoolTone]

I appreciate TCelec is making new products to fill a need, but to me the whole concept is only good for taking your money. Seriously, these are DIGITAL FX boxes on the floor! What makes these so different than racks of yesteryear with "Artist" presets? Not much! Not to mention often those "Artist" presets were useless once you tried them in your own context. Give me a good FX box with 4 cable method over this ANY day. Eventually you'll want more negating the benefits of simple OR "cheap"!

[teleworldshare]

Cool but people are still using pedals in 2011 ?

[indieclock]

@tcelectronic

well, i am VERY IMPRESSED by the whole lot & am planning to obtain a Hall of Fame as soon as possible.

they're quite affordable and, in my opinion, feature-laden. plus, they're right in line with T.C. Electronic's build quality and excellent sound.

[FineKdust]

YOU HAVE A GOOD CHANNEL!!!! GREAT VIDEO!!! FKD

[bjoneill74]

I keep reading that it's a simple stomp box. I beg to differ.

If it has a USB port and can accept a bunch of different settings which can not be achieved by using the 4 knobs that are available, then no.. it's not a simple stomp box.

[bjoneill74]

meh.. I'd agree.. I want access to the parameters.. not what someone else deemed good.

FAIL!

[elvis8burgers]

Tore - love the Hendrix strap - where did you get it?

[bennyvx08]

The video wont play, Im getting " A error occured, please try again later"..

[Linsenpuppe]

@tcelectronic No, because the toneprint pedals are small and easy to use. Downloadable gratis Toneprints are a nice Gimmick, but not more. Selling the software that you use to make the toneprints would be really cool!

And maybe a bit larger versions of the pedals would be great, maybe in BB-size enclosures. With a few presets, selectable with up and down footswitches.

And Midi via USB, to select the presets with a midi switcher and to synchronize the tempo of delays, chorus etc with midi clock

[odgeUK]

@tcelectronic Thank You. So the artists have access to parameters not obtainable by using the four knobs on the unit? Cool. I do agree with others, if users could download the editor and edit the parameters themselves then that would be so cool. User defined Toneprints. Rockin.
