Fantastic new pedal from TC Electronic!!

[klokker]

Sweet. Especially the way it cuts equally across the entire tonal spectrum. I've been looking for buffered silence for my whole career.

you know it's funny....I want to like TC electronics products because they have nice design and they attempt to be innovative; but the truth is that they come up with lackluster products that are overpriced AND THEN to put the icing on the cake they give the craziest marketing snakeoil ive ever had the pleasure of hearing. I also seem to recall them listing their amp heads at a higher wattage than they actually are a few years ago.

That is hilarious. Thanks for sharing.

Had no idea I even needed this, but now I'm stoked and can't wait for this to come out!

I plan to get two...one at the start of my chain and one at the end. Game changer for sure.

Only if the pedal were on MY board for HIS guitar wankery. Eeeeech!!!

Please file under (move this thread to) Bass Humor & Gig Stories. TC Electronic are danish and have Danish humor. It's 1st of April already over here, before you have it. They released it just because countries EAST of Denmark all the way to Japan has had 1 april for half a day now. You must think of them too. T.C Electronics are sold in Japan too and Asian countries.

nice! it works on bass too! i wasn't sure at first...

I'm delighted it works on bass too! "Of course, vacuum can be used on bass guitars as well. Simply press it before you start your solo, and your band members as well as the audience will undoubtedly show you greater appreciation than ever before." Can't wait!

price?

I am just curious about where this fits in the signal chain... does it work better before or after my fuzz pedal? The demo should've highlighted how it sounds with other effects.

I think I want one of these as an "always on" pedal.

 

[Flabass]

Can I get one for my drummer when he solos.

 

[bherman]

April 1st or not, that would be totally awesome to cut off lead-guitar wankery

Now that makes more sense - it's a pedal on my board that cuts off the guitar player. Add a "tempo regulator" for the drummer and my search is complete.

I am going to wait and see what Tone Prints come out for this. I'm expecting some fancy titles for different kinds of silence. Just of the top of my head, "Silence of the Clams" by Buddy Rich would be good

1 day early for those of us in the states.

Do they celebrate April 1st on March 31 elsewhere?
BTW, do they 4th of July in the UK?

And they posted a SoundCloud track. 4'33" of silence.

 

[Wicked G]

I LOL'ed even more with the product page, and I am at work. That is hilarious.

 

[pudgychef]

What is the box like?

 

[Wicked G]

Probably has the company name with no S and a cool plagiarized skull graphic.

 

[adube810]

also using the term "vacuum" sort of gives an impression there might be a tube involved
