Aktivering af pedalen

Press the footswitch to engage or disengage the compression effect. The LED indicator will illuminate when the pedal is active and the compression is applied to your signal.

Kompressionsknap

The single control knob adjusts the overall compression intensity. Turn clockwise for more compression, and counter-clockwise for less. The specific parameters controlled by this knob are determined by the loaded TonePrint, offering a wide range of sonic possibilities from subtle leveling to aggressive squash.

TonePrint Technology

The SPECTRACOMP BASS COMPRESSOR is TonePrint enabled. This allows you to upload custom compression settings created by TC Electronic, renowned bass players, or to design your own using the TonePrint Editor software.

Using the TonePrint App

Download the free TC Electronic TonePrint app for your smartphone (available for iOS and Android).
Select a desired TonePrint from the app's library.
Hold your phone's speaker close to your bass pickup and "beam" the TonePrint to the pedal. The pedal's LED will flash to confirm successful transfer.

Multiband Compression

The SPECTRACOMP utilizes multiband compression, which processes different frequency ranges of your bass signal independently. This results in a more natural and transparent compression, preserving your low-end while controlling dynamics across the entire frequency spectrum, leading to a more consistent and punchy sound.

Opretholdelse

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your pedal, follow these maintenance guidelines:

Keep the pedal clean and dry. Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures, humidity, or direct sunlight.
Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning the exterior. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals.
Ensure all cable connections (power and audio) are secure to prevent signal loss, intermittent operation, or unwanted noise.
When not in use for extended periods, disconnect the power supply.

Fejlfinding

If you encounter issues with your SPECTRACOMP BASS COMPRESSOR, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

Ingen strøm

Verify the 9V DC power supply is correctly connected to the pedal and a working power outlet.
Ensure the power supply meets the 100mA minimum current requirement.
Test the power supply with another compatible device to confirm it is functioning.

Ingen lyd

Check all audio cables (bass to input, output to amp) for proper connection and functionality. Try swapping cables if necessary.
Ensure the pedal is engaged (the LED indicator should be illuminated).
Bypass the pedal by connecting your bass directly to your amplifier to determine if the issue is with the pedal or another part of your signal chain.

Uønsket støj

Ensure proper grounding of all equipment in your setup to minimize hum or buzz.
Check for faulty audio cables, which can introduce noise.
Some TonePrints may emphasize certain frequencies, potentially highlighting existing noise in your bass or amplifier setup. Try a different TonePrint or adjust your bass/amp indstillinger.

TonePrint Transfer Issues

Ensure your smartphone speaker is held directly over your bass pickup during the beaming process.
Increase the volume on your smartphone to its maximum setting during transfer.
Ensure no other audio is playing on your phone and that the environment is relatively quiet.
