Modulation Theater
Tc Electronics is a very good brand, quality and durability are the main features . No exception for this model,good looking and with a super bright LED. Runs in stereo or mono and contains three modulations : chorus, is good clear and true to the original signal; flanger, I'm not a big fun of flanger but i recognize that this one is good and smooth; vibe, probably the best effect on the box,it sounds very naturall and crisp..love it. If this is not enough there are the v2 of all the three effects that Petrucci uses when he play distorted (you can use them also in clean,he is not gonna come to your house and break your guitar ) . Also there is the toneprint switch so that you can create your own cool modulation and load it in the pedal! The controls are easy, speed ,depth and fx level. It's over? Nope, there is a toggle switch that changes the soul of the modulation: bright,normal,dark. I leave to you the imagination on how they change the sound. Anyway i love it because i can have three quality effects in one small pedal but I would use single stompboxes for each effect in studio.

Great modular pedal
Again, I am a fan of JP so I was influence but this pedal is a great pedal. Very easy to use, 2 type of chorus/flanges and tremolo. You can also download Toneprints from the TC Electronics website to copy the exact sound from your favorite artist.

John Petrucci talks at length about and demonstrates the features of his signature Dreamscape modulation pedal from TC Electronic in this video.
And obviously, I’ve had the relationship with TC Electronic for a long time and I used my signature Dreamscape pedal. Another cool thing we used a lot is TC’s 2290-DT plug-in with the desktop controller. The 2290 was always a staple in all of my rigs, all my big refrigerator racks. And the plug-ins really sound true and authentic. So we ended up getting Ben Grosse one, and he used it on the mix. Whenever you hear a chorus and a guitar, that’s what it is.
