Thank you for spending your hard-earned mon-

our best to ensure that it will serve you for many

years to come, and we hope that you will enjoy

HyperGravity Compressor

HyperGravity Compressor is the missing link that

will take your tone from good to great. It features

three amazing compression modes:

►a state-of-the-art multiband compressor,

►a cool vintage compressor and

►all the endless compression combinations you

can access through TonePrint.

HyperGravity Compressor’s advanced multi-

band dynamics algorithm is the same MD3

compression algorithm that can be found in our

studio production masterpiece, System 6000,

which has been the preferred dynamics tool for

top producers for over ten years. This technolo-

gically superior engine applies perfectly tailored

compression for your highs, mids and lows. This

is a more transparent and musical compression

than what can be achieved with standard single-

band compressors.

True Bypass

Here at TC, we have a simple philosophy: When

you are using one of our products, you should

hear something great – and if you don’t, you

shouldn’t hear it at all. This is why this pedal

sports True Bypass. When it is bypassed, it is

really off and has zero influence on your tone, re-

sulting in optimum clarity and zero loss of high-

end.

Sometimes, it is advisable to switch an effect

pedal from True Bypass to Buffered Bypass

mode. For more information, see “Switching

the pedal from true bypass to buffered bypass

mode”.
