“The one pedal that will stand by your side throughout your eternal pedalboard journey, adapting into exactly what you need”: TC Electronic launches the Plethora X1 “TonePrint loader” – 14 effects, one compact stompbox

TC Electronic Plethora X1: a dedicated Toneprint loader that offers 14 effects via one compact stompbox.

How times change. To think that once upon a time a guitar multi-effects pedal was the size of a VCR and now this, the Plethora X1, “TonePrint loader” from TC Electronic that offers 14 different effects in a compact stompbox.

And not only is the latest in the Plethora range respectful of pedalboard real estate, it’s also affordable, with a street price of £/$179. This has been the direction of travel for many guitar effects pedal brands, especially as DSP technology grows ever more advanced.
