Has anyone played the TC Electronics Shaker?

Post by johnnyseven »

During my investigations into James Dean Bradfield's Revol/Holy Bible wobbly guitar sound I stared looking into vibrato pedals and came across this. It sounds pretty good and has the bonus of being to upload tone prints, anyone had a go on one?

RE: the TonePrint thing, how many different vibrato 'tones' that some session guitarist made are you really going to want to download variations of? 80 quid seems a little steep for something you might use in a few songs, with functionality you're paying for but will, in reality, use once.

I'd personally just save up a little more and pick up a Line 6 M5, but I would say that.

You have a point. Apparently the Toneprint software allows much more tweakability than the pedal itself offers, it would be good if TC Electronics made this software available to those who buy the pedals so they can create their own tone prints outside of the box - so to speak. The pedal comes with a Leslie type Toneprint, which I think I would find a use for as well as the vibrato the pedal produces.

Looks like it will be. Website says it is a free download.

The availability of the software may also persuade me to get the Flashback Delay as well.

The M5 Pitch Vibrato is amazing.
