TC Electronics PlethoraX1 - The Gear Page You can utilize the single footswitch on PLETHORA X1 in five different ways In ‘latching’ mode, it simply turns the effect on and off, and in ‘momentary’, the effect is only applied for as long as you press and hold the footswitch
TC Electronic Plethora X5 | Page 35 | The Gear Page For me, the bigger issue is lack of documentation IMHO, they have issued no detailed info on the Plethora I've found the best resource on YouTube and not from TCE's channel there I find this sad as I feel this is a very good product that could be great
TC Electronic Plethora X5 | Page 31 | The Gear Page Rebooting the Plethora was not enough Factory reset is bad since you lose all your custom boards and custom TonePrints If TC somehow succeeds in fixing all of the above, I'll be the first in line for the new version of Plethora Until then, sorry, just no Even though I love the concept! But there's a happy ending here
TC Electronic Plethora X5 | Page 36 | The Gear Page Basically, you can use the Plethora in front of the amp and also in the loop You can set which pedal slot goes before the amp So you can have the compressor in the front of the amp, then modulation and time effects in the loop
HX Stomp, Plethora x3 or individual pedals? | The Gear Page However, I prefer using an amp so now all I'm using it for is chorus, phaser and delay Given that I use so little of what the stomp offers, I've been considering selling it for either individual pedals or the TC Plethora x3 I like the idea of pedals as they are easy to adjust, where as the Stomp has so many options on some of their pedal models

TC Electronic Plethora X5 | Page 22 | The Gear Page The Plethora deals with its loop and the insertion points as different things Although both things use the same jacks they are different To Plethora an 'effects loop' is one that has one of the stomp buttons occupied to turn it on and off, it incorporates a closed loop of real outboard pedal s for you to replace a stomp location with
TC Plethora X5 vs individual Toneprint pedals | The Gear Page Personally, I loved the G-System, which the Plethora kind of emulates (all those great TC modulations and delays, add your own dirt pedals) but I guess it's a lot of investment And anyone who is that into modulations and delays probably has their own stack of boutique pedals (which didn't really exist as much when the G-System first came out)
TC Electronic Plethora X5 | Page 34 | The Gear Page Offering a parallel signal chain option would allow the Plethora, a Fractal "AXE FX-type" of sophistication that is currently lacking in the multi-effects pedal class A signal chain that is "serial-only" is limiting enough, offering a 127 board-combinations, is redundant as its value seems only as a marketing spec
Plethora X5? HX Stomp? GT-1000 Core? Need Advices! The Plethora on the other hand seems totally fitting The delays seem to be really good in stereo Flanger, Chorus, Univibe, Vibrato, Phaser are all on board Also the Brainwaves for my momentary pitch shifting Routing is super flexible on a preset base due to the variable effects loop MIDI support seems great (Also including MIDI clock and
