TC Electronic Releases Mike Stern and Victor Wooten TonePrints

TC Electronic Releases Mike Stern and Victor Wooten TonePrints

Jazz guitarist Mike Stern creates a personalized delay setting while bassist Victor Wooten delivers a chorus TonePrint.

Risskov, Denmark (March 4, 2014) -- For the next installment of the hit TonePrint series, TC Electronic decided to jazz things up by introducing 2 icons in the jazz/fusion world: Mike Stern and Victor Wooten. Both deliver a unique TonePrint which are available immediately and for free here or via the free TonePrint app for Android and iOS.

Mike Stern delivers a TonePrint for Flashback Delay and Flashback X4 Delay, aptly named Mike Stern Delay. Mike's custom TonePrint is a sophisticated, ambient delay TonePrint, and as MIke put it: ā€œThe guitar is a very percussive instrument – especially if you play with a pick. This TonePrint gives it a singing ambience sound.ā€

Victor Wooten delivers his Ghost Chorus for Corona Chorus and The Dreamscape pedals. This TonePrint a very subtle and very versatile chorus. It's great for shining up sustained parts, for adding an edge to your slapping - and pretty much everything in between. To celebrate the release of these TonePrints, TC Electronic will be giving away a Flashback Delay and a Corona Chorus signed by Mike Stern and Victor Wooten - guitarists and bassists worldwide can enter by signing up for the TC Electronic newsletter at www.tcelectronic.com/stern-wooten-toneprints.

Tore Mogensen, Business Manager for Guitar at TC Electronic adds: "Mike Stern and Victor Wooten are both icons in their own right. They are well-known and well-respected musicians even far outside of the jazz world and these TonePrints are really useable in many different musical contexts - I could not be happier about how they turned out!"

Vox’s Valvenergy Tone Sculptor

Two new pedals from the Valvenergy series use a Nutube valve to generate unique dynamics and tone ranges that can be used to radical ends.

When tracking in a studio or DAW, you’re likely to use compression and EQ on most things. Many enduringly amazing and powerful records were made using little else. And though many musicians regard both effects as a bit unglamorous and utilitarian, EQs and comps are as capable of radical sounds as more overtly ā€œweirdā€ effects—particularly when they are used in tandem.

The Cars’ self-titled 1978 debut record changed the world of power pop forever. Guitarist and co-vocalist Ric Ocasek penned all the tunes, but lead guitarist Elliott Easton transformed them with his tasteful 6-string stylings. This time on Shred With Shifty, Easton sits down with Chris Shiflett to show him how to play the solo from ā€œMy Best Friend’s Girl.ā€

Boss streamlines the size, features, and price of the already excellent Waza Tube Expander with little sacrifice in functionality.

Many of our younger selves would struggle to understand the urge—indeed, the need—to play quieter. My first real confrontation with this ever-more-present reality arrived when Covid came to town. For many months, I could only sneak into my studio space late at night to jam or review anything loud. Ultimately, the thing that made it possible to create and do my job in my little apartment was a reactive load box (in this case, a Universal Audio OX). I set up a Bassman head next to my desk and, with the help of the OX, did the work of a gear editor as well as recorded several very cathartic heavy jams, with the Bassman up to 10, that left my neighbors none the wiser.
