TC Electronic

From beefing up your guitar tone to Thin Lizzy esque twin riffs and screaming metal leads, Quintessence Harmony from TC Electronic delivers the goods with dual-voice harmonization across a wide range of modes and scales. With the pressure-sensitive MASH footswitch, you can manually pitch your voices up, or, using the TonePrint app, control any parameter.The footswitch has two modes via a dedicated switch: Momentary for engaging the effect only while the switch is depressed during performances, and Latching for leaving the effect on after a stomp. Key, Scale, Mix, and Harmony controls are available, along with three TonePrint slots for loading custom harmony intervals, plus a slot for a custom scale. The pedal sports stereo or dual-mono I/O, making it highly compatible with FX loops. You can select between true bypass, for pure, uncolored tone, or buffered bypass, for reliable signal integrity during long cable runs and complex pedalboards. And with support for 9V battery or power-adapter operation (both sold separately), you can use Quintessence without fear in any power environment.MASH Up an Interval Quintessence features a MASH footswitch giving you a powerful expressive tool without taking up any extra pedalboard real estate. By default, the MASH switch has been assigned to bend your harmonized note up to the next interval within the scale. But in TonePrint mode, you can assign MASH to control just about any aspect of the pedal, including custom scale steps both above and below the original harmony. This not only makes the Quintessence much more versatile, as you can switch between two different intervals mid-song without having to fiddle with knobs, but it also lets you make fluid pedal steel bends, worthy of the greasiest Nashville honky-tonks out there.Footswitch Flexibility Quintessence quickly and easily lets you toggle between standard latch and momentary mode, for spontaneously improvised harmonizing on the spot. This is useful when you need a little extra something in the last bar of your solo, for dramatic effect or for riffs where you want an emphasis on a certain note or beat.If the boys are back in town, and you know you re going to be playing long harmonized riffs while moving around the stage a bit, set Quintessence to Latch mode and run to the hills. And don t worry, MASH works in either setting.Customize Your Harmony If you don't feel like using one of the seven preset diatonic modes commonly used, the Custom scale mode lets you load in whichever flavor of tonality you want your harmonies to follow. When Quintessence is not in TonePrint mode, the Custom mode is set for Locrian. Using the 3 TonePrint slots however, you can set it to a wealth of different custom scales. Explore major pentatonic, harmonic minor, and much more.Triple TonePrint Treasures The TonePrint platform allows you to customize your own harmonies in any way you want, with one or two extra voices on top of your dry signal. The free TonePrint editor gives you access to a wealth of tweakable parameters to get you exactly the harmonies you want. Instead of spending your time trying to find your own Dickey Betts or Marty Friedman for your band, Quintessence has your back and is always in tune.True to Tone With optimized headroom, a true or buffered bypass switch, and kill dry on/off, this pedal guarantees optimal tonal integrity and zero loss of tone. And, no matter if the pedal is on or off, your precious dry sound is always passed through the pedal unharmed in all its pure analog glory due to analog dry through.Complete Control with TonePrint Download the free TonePrint app for Android and iPhone, choose the TonePrint you want to hear, and beam it instantly from your phone through your guitar's pickup into your TonePrint pedal.
