TC Electronic Plethora X3 Kitaran multiefekti

TC Electronic Plethora X3 — Compact TonePrint Multi-FX Workhorse

The TC Electronic Plethora X3 consolidates TC's TonePrint library into a single 178 × 117 × 56 mm floor unit. Three effects run simultaneously across 127 storable pedalboards, giving players modulation, delay, reverb, and dynamics in a 0.78 kg chassis. This multi-effects unit is the right choice for guitarists who want to replace a stack of single pedals with one streamlined, app-customisable rig.

What Sets This Pedal Apart

Pressure-sensitive MASH footswitches turn each bypass switch into a mini expression controller, mapping foot pressure to up to three effect parameters for swells and self-oscillating delay bursts. Quick Swap re-orders effects on the fly, while Bluetooth v4.2 imports new TonePrints from the TC app.

Connections and Signal Flow

Stereo 6.3 mm TS and TRS jacks handle mono or true-stereo signal paths. MIDI on 5-pin DIN enables external preset switching, while Mini USB supports firmware updates and TonePrint editing.

• Inputs: 6.3 mm TS, 6.3 mm TRS, Mini USB, MIDI IN
• Outputs: 6.3 mm TS, 6.3 mm TRS, MIDI OUT
• MIDI Interface: Yes

TonePrint Library and Preset Architecture

Sixteen algorithms cover every time-based and dynamic effect most players need, from Hall of Fame 2 Reverb and Flashback 2 Delay to Hypergravity Compressor and Pipeline Tap Tremolo. Each effect slot holds up to 75 TonePrints, and 127 custom pedalboards save and recall on the fly.

• Simultaneous Effects: 3
• Pedalboard Presets: 127 custom slots
• TonePrints per Slot: 75
• Compressor: Hypergravity onboard

Power, Bypass, and Build

Power comes from the included 9V DC adapter at 600 mA — battery operation is not supported. True bypass keeps the dry signal untouched when effects are off, and the rugged chassis fits easily onto most pedalboards.

• True Bypass: Yes
• Power: 9V DC 600 mA adapter (included)
• Battery Powered: No
• Package Contents: Adapter, Manual
