Sound Repeats
With Alter Ego 2 you get 9 vintage delay sounds carefully reproduced by the echo experts at ProGuitarShop and TC Electronic. And trust us, these guys know echo tone and we know you'll agree once you hear it! You'll find everything from sweet saturated EchoPlex* repeats, the unique magnetic drum delays of the legendary Echorec*, an exclusive modulated take on TC's own 2290 delay unit to tons of other classic echo tones. Heck, if we didn't know any better, we would be sure that this pedal contained real moving parts.
Back To The Future
Alter Ego 2 has received an elegant graphical overhaul so it's not just your tone that receives a massive upgrade, but also the coolness-factor of your pedalboard. Combine that with stereo I/O, the amazing audio-tapping feature and the innovative TonePrint technology and you've got yourself a pedal that may sound old-aged but is practically taken straight from the space-age.
TonePrint - Signature Effects
TonePrint, signature versions of delays made by music's finest (from rock royalty, to YOU via our TonePrint Editor) allows you to cram as many delay types into this little miracle as your heart desires. From custom tuned tones by music's elite, to classic takes on legendary sounds, your vision is your sound.
With Alter Ego Vintage Echo V2 Delay, getting tones is a cinch. Dialing in sounds is quick and intuitive and it’s one of those pedals where you just can’t seem to get anything else but awesome sounds.
Subdivision Mini-Toggle
Allows you to select quarter notes, dotted eighths or a dual delay combination of both (of which “the Edge” would very much approve).
Delay
Controls the delay time, which, apart from the Slapback, can go up to 7 seconds.
FX Level
Determines how pronounced the effect is. From subtle ambience to total timewarp.
Feedback
Set the number of repetitions and how much effect is fed back to the input - short and snappy or infinite soundscapes ... you decide!
Type Selector
Sets your delay type. Makes a mean panini. Only one of these is actually true.
Maximum you
TonePrint pedals offer both true- or buffered bypass. It simply means that no matter what your setup or situation, TC pedals give you optimal signal integrity so the 'you' in your playing shines through with unparalleled clarity and definition.
