Frequently Asked Questions
What types of modulation effects does THE DREAMSCAPE offer?
THE DREAMSCAPE provides chorus, flanger, and vibrato effects, each accessible via a dedicated selector. The voicing switch further shapes each effect type, giving you multiple tonal variations from a single pedal.
What is TonePrint and how does it work with this pedal?
TonePrint is TC Electronic's technology that lets you load custom effect settings created by professional artists directly into the pedal. You can beam TonePrints from the free TonePrint app on your phone or load them via USB using the TonePrint Editor software for deep parameter control.
Can I use THE DREAMSCAPE for subtle, transparent modulation as well as dramatic effects?
Yes, the pedal's controls and voicing switch allow you to dial in everything from barely-there shimmer and gentle warming chorus to deep, swirling flanger sweeps and pronounced vibrato, covering both subtle and extreme territory.
Is this pedal true bypass?
TC Electronic pedals in this series use buffered bypass, which maintains signal integrity in longer pedal chains. This ensures your tone stays consistent whether the pedal is engaged or not.
Does THE DREAMSCAPE require a specific power supply?
The pedal runs on a standard 9V DC center-negative power supply, which is the same type used by most guitar pedals. A power supply is typically not included and must be purchased separately.
