With its compact design and 14 effect types, the PLETHORA X1 is just a multi-talented pedal that adapts to your needs. Being a digital nomad is not just about endlessly travelling the desert. It also means staying in one place for a while, but having the freedom to move on whenever you want. This new pedal from TC Electronic is like a faithful companion on your endless journey with pedals – it is flexible and adapts to what you need to create your sound.
PLETHORA X1 is a Box of Joy
While some manufacturers are going back to building large enclosures, thick controllers and concentrating on the essentials, TC Electronic is going in exactly the opposite direction. We like that. Following on from the PLETHORA X5 and PLETHORA X3, this is the smallest of the trio.
PLETHORA X1 is a dedicated TonePrint loader that covers the entire range of TonePrint pedals. The flexibility this pedal offers is truly impressive. You can use it as an atmospheric reverb to enhance your melodies, or as a crisp slapback echo when that rockabilly vibe strikes. It’s a little powerhouse ready to take your sound to the next level.

Five Ways to Stomp
The PLETHORA X1 allows you to use the single footswitch in five different ways. In ‘Latching’ mode, you can activate effects in the classic way by switching them on and off. Momentary mode brings movement into the game: the effect is only applied as long as the switch is held down. A/B mode lets you switch between two different effects and even control the tempo with your foot.
And then there’s the exciting MASH function: just press the button and enjoy a new dimension of effects manipulation. Get ready to create stunning soundscapes with frozen delays, Whammy-like pitch shifts and extreme modulation. A dedicated MASH LED even gives you real-time visual feedback on how much you’re mashing.
Flexibility With Boards and TonePrints
The PLETHORA X1 comes with an impressive selection of effects. You can choose from seven Boards, each with two pre-installed effect types: one in Slot A and one in Slot B. This gives you instant access to all 14 effect types. And if that’s not enough, you can upload unique artist TonePrints whenever you like. Boards and slots are 100% flexible. You want to use 14 different FlashBack 2 Delay TonePrints? No problem! The 1′ LCD display keeps you updated of what’s active.
