One Must-Have Pedal

This version is simply cool. We know the TonePrint feature gives all the TC Electronic pedals a huge plus against other brands, and this one is not an exception. I really miss the lofi preset from the Original Hall of Fame, but anyway you can tweak your toneprint preset to make that lofi sound.

reverb

great sounding verbs, just lacking in a blend control and effect level and decay work about half way up.
