TC Does TonePrint On Android

Nice to see someone making the effort 13-Jan-12

I guess if you dont own any of TC Electronic's excellent TonePrint pedals (see our review), then the whole programming your settings through your phone thing may have passed you by. Well its actually a pretty cool concept - you download the app to your phone, grab some TonePrint settings you like the look of - these are settings programmed by BIG NAMES for TC that access settings oinly available via some magic editor they keep in a special vault at TC HQ. You then hold your phone up to the pickups on your guitar, hit go and it "beams" the data through your guitar pickup into the pedal. Sounds kind of unlikely when you write it down, but its true....

Takes me back the days when you used to save patches on Cassette, but more convenient.

Previously, the app was only for iOS devices, but now Android has been included, which makes it one of the few Android audio apps to get some mainstream audio manufacturer lovin.

TonePrint App Main Features
• Beam any TonePrint in Seconds
• Fast. Flexible. Intuitive.
• Completely Free of Charge
• Cached files – No Internet Access Required
• Browse TonePrints by Pedal, Artist, Featured or Date

  • Paul Gilbert (Mr. Big)
  • Steve Morse (Deep Purple)
  • Ron ’Bumblefoot’ Thal (Guns ’n’ Roses)

Absolutely Brilliant product. These guys are light years ahead. A great pedal series and whiz bang technology.

Get your hands on the Android or the IOS TonePrint app (free of charge) and watch the Hall of Fame reverb video attached to "ProGuitarShop / Church of Andy" for interesting insight on just how many controls are built into the effect sculpting software that TC uses.

The Pedals themselves are very well built, high quality sound, pass through TRUE bypass. I own the Hall of Fame Reverb and the FlashBack Delay (in addition to their MojoMojo).

What pedal is it?


tcelectronic 25-May-12 12:20 PM

It's for our toneprint line of pedals, so I very much doubt it. :)


hyperspeed4545 25-May-12 02:10 AM

My peddal dose not have a tone print button what do I do


Ran666 16-May-12 02:07 PM

forget it yes it does, and its fantastic, its like magic so cool but it crashes alot !! >:(


Ran666 16-May-12 12:50 PM

I have a TC electronic Analog delay, will this work?


tcelectronic 19-Apr-12 01:59 PM

On our website, tcelectronic com - you can browse and download all our toneprints.


The1970sInfatuate 18-Apr-12 06:14 PM

I don't have an iPhone. How do you download toneprints on the computer?


saulsavarino 12-Apr-12 08:33 PM

wohaa!! check the socialnetwork just for guitarists!!! w w w . guitarsssss . co m yooo


killertonetexas 07-Mar-12 01:50 AM

TC Products rule. This is another amazing tool in the arsenal. I love the way TC thinks ahead of the curve.


ignaciusethou95S 29-Feb-12 10:13 AM

Out of my expection!I win a iphone4!Do not beg for sharing,just click! cuiERN 27go.info


quanalocho 20-Feb-12 06:59 AM

Dis ting is da bee's knee's.


dvaoa 16-Feb-12 12:03 PM

I'm guessing you can only use one Tone Print at a time?


givemeajackson 11-Feb-12 10:46 AM

probably the magnet of the speaker since pickups are based on magnets.


givemeajackson 11-Feb-12 10:42 AM

you already have a shitlot of functionality on the toneprint pedals (flashback has 10 types of delay already), but you have one additional slot for a different setting of your choice. to put all toneprints in the pedal already would make it less practical to use, you'd need a display and banks to toggle between them, and then it wouldnt be an easy to use stomp box anymore.


givemeajackson 11-Feb-12 10:35 AM

probably not. you need a direct connection from guitar to pedal i think.


givemeajackson 11-Feb-12 10:34 AM

nope. seems like everything is stored in the app, independent of the internet.


givemeajackson 11-Feb-12 10:33 AM

dude, who the fuck would do this in a live situation? it's just that you can use a new toneprint without an USB connection to a computer! let's say your bandmate has a toneprint you like and you want it too, now you can load it into the pedal in a matter of seconds without the need of a computer! and i read that you dont even need internet connection, all toneprints are stored in the app. means you can do this everywhere!


tcelectronic 03-Feb-12 08:50 PM

Not at this point in time, no.


Jimi0Hendrix 03-Feb-12 10:18 AM

Is it possible to create your own toneprint?


MrWolframium 28-Jan-12 08:11 AM

the hands are shaking :)


masibo70 26-Jan-12 03:58 PM

when does it work with android? 2.2 or higher john


jackstrikergraphics 20-Jan-12 07:04 AM

smart technology


tcelectronic 17-Jan-12 12:57 PM

I'm glad it works - and thanks mate:)


GazzaBloom 16-Jan-12 07:35 PM

Thanks. It's working now. I needed the latest firmware update for my Flashback. Installed that and tome prints are beaming across via iPad now. How this works completely baffles me but it's a brilliant feature!


audiosodomy 15-Jan-12 11:22 AM

Is there a way to save a tone that I come up with?


JohnLRice 15-Jan-12 01:56 AM

I'd agree it wouldn't be the best for most live situations but, you COULD always mute/turn down your amp etc, yes??? ;-)


TreyArc 13-Jan-12 04:37 PM

This sounds amazing, have to try it out on my vortex flanger tomorrow...


tcelectronic 12-Jan-12 12:29 PM

I think it should!? - please contact support?


GazzaBloom 10-Jan-12 09:27 PM

I can't get it to work on my iPad 2. App downloads OK but my Flashback delay doesn't receive the TonePrint....is this not compatible with iPad?


tcelectronic 10-Jan-12 11:50 AM

Toneprint pedals only:)


VladjarK 09-Jan-12 11:45 PM

Man, this work only with TC stomp boxes?! 


userrating 04-Jan-12 04:06 AM

Good god... Fun little toy for bedroom players, but you certainly won't see a gigging musician using this. The second I hit an audience with a pitch-shifted old school modem sound through a PA is the same second the gig is over, not to mention the working relationship with the other musicians I just deafened. Absolute silliness.


tcelectronic 02-Jan-12 03:08 PM

You need a Iphone or a phone using Android as software - and signal - then you're good to go..


liamzuid 30-Dec-11 05:26 PM

Do you need acces to internet to load a toneprint?


fingerboy18 29-Dec-11 06:17 AM

This is actually a pretty simple thing to do, but it's a fantastic and innovative idea! The sole idea was the winner on this one.


TheTuskart 22-Dec-11 12:41 AM

android app NOW! seriously though, I love how innovative and open you are to new technologies, thats the main reason i chose your brand. AWESOME work guys, fantastic idea, keep 'em coming!


tcelectronic 21-Dec-11 03:04 PM

The Android version is our main focus right now - we hope to release it soon, and thank you, for your kind words. Merry X-mas.


jasonarp 05-Dec-11 03:29 AM

Cool, dial up internet for your guitar.


josueatthebb 02-Dec-11 02:44 PM

Did Steve Jobs ever saw this? It's awesome how many fucking uses the iPhone has reached.


mrQDQ 01-Dec-11 03:08 PM

BEAM!


frogscar 01-Dec-11 02:47 PM

a MIDI interface would have been nicer.... oh and by the way, what happens if I have my toneprint in the FX loop running tons of distortion?? Still works....???


runawayvealmusic 01-Dec-11 12:22 AM

would be great to have multiple toneprints stored in a toneprint file infinite until deleted. storage is cheap these days. going from toneprint to toneprint that are already favorites would be cool. one at a time is cool but even beaming them in could get annoying. nice technology


MortenSaabye 24-Nov-11 10:50 PM

Seriously??? you don't know any of the artists??


MrGrizzledgizzard 19-Nov-11 01:21 AM

Just give users the app so we can design our own patches. I don't know any of the featured artists, so having their settings is not useful. This is technology in search of an application.


guitarlad24 15-Nov-11 09:55 PM

Fair enough then, i look forward to experiencing this TC magic!


tcelectronic 15-Nov-11 12:04 PM

- Personally, I wouldn't start shifting toneprints in the middle of a concert, but in the studio, when rehearsing and at home - all the time. :)


guitarlad24 15-Nov-11 11:33 AM

Very cool, but how usable will this be on stage?


frankie28web 15-Nov-11 09:46 AM

man, that's soooo cool - almost unbelievable. science fiction that really works!!!


lozarok 14-Nov-11 02:23 AM

That is Mad Stuff


SixStringHarmonies 12-Nov-11 05:04 PM

brilliant
