The PowerCore Concept
PowerCore is a superior range of high-end plug-ins that run on tailor-made hardware. The range covers any need
that you might have, and in a quality that you’ve probably not been used to with other VST and AU compatible
plug-ins. From basic tools like reverbs, EQs, compressor/expanders, chorus/delays, over plug-ins that are
dedicated to the voice, sporting pitch correction and Voice Modeling™, to some of the very best tools on the
market, like the Restoration Suite, the “System 6000 for PowerCore” plug-ins, the V-Station from Novation, and
the Virus|PowerCore by Access.
The Doorway to the Best Sounding DAW Processing
To get access to the PowerCore plug-ins you need a piece of PowerCore hardware. You can choose between
PowerCore Compact, PowerCore FireWire, PowerCore PCI mkII and PowerCore Express to get a selection of great
plug-ins included with the hardware, and then add plug-ins as you please from the wide selection of optional plugins. You can also compile your own PowerCore package of optional plug-ins by choosing PowerCore Unplugged.
The PowerCore platform is not only a doorway to the high quality TC processing tools, but also to a wide range of
plug-ins from renowned 3rd party developers like Sony Oxford, TC-Helicon and Access to name a few. With
PowerCore 2.0 you get a fully functional trial version of the TC distributed plug-ins, so you can check out the
optional plug-ins before you buy them.
Complete Integration
By combining native applications with TC-quality effects and versatile tailor-made hardware options, PowerCore
makes true integration possible. The platform integrates with virtually any VST, AU and RTAS* based digital audio
workstation for Mac or PC.
Portable Power – PowerCore Compact
PowerCore Compact is a portable solution, well suited for laptop production environments.
The unique yet sturdy design makes the PowerCore Compact the ideal choice for
productions with changing locations. 12 plug-ins are included.
Internal Power – PowerCore PCI mkII & PowerCore Express
PowerCore PCI mkII and PowerCore Express offer superior power and they are the prime
choice when internal processing is preferred. Get all the benefits that a PCI or PCI Express
card has to offer and experience the seamless integration of internal power. PowerCore PCI
mkII supports the well known PCI slot format and the PowerCore Express supports the new
ultra fast PCI Express slots. 14 plug-ins are included with both cards.
External Power – PowerCore FireWire
PowerCore FireWire provides significant processing possibilities and it is the preferred
choice for those who favor external processing. Fit it in a 19” rack together with the rest of
your hardware or move it easily to new production locations. 14 plug-ins are included.
DSP Card Only – PowerCore Unplugged
PowerCore Unplugged gives the flexibility to choose exactly the optional PowerCore plug-ins
that you want, or just to add more power to your existing PowerCore setup. It is the same
piece of hardware as the PowerCore PCI mkII but without bundled plug-ins. PowerCore
Unplugged requires at least one PowerCore plug-in to run.
*) RTAS (ProTools) is supported via the VST to RTAS adapter from FXpansion (optional). More info on www.tcsupport.tc

Cutting Edge Guitar Effects
G-Sharp is a dual engine guitar processor that
combines superior TC effects with an easy-to-use
interface and optimal preset changes including
delay spillover. It comes with modulation, delay
and reverb in awesome TC quality. Each of the
two engines gives you 15 different factory
presets that let you navigate smoothly through
the parameters and quickly achieve the sound of
your taste. You can control G-Sharp via the
G-Switch or a MIDI controller. The 99 user
presets, independent engine bypass, as well as a
tap tempo function are easily controlled from
the floor.
TC Effects – Reverb, Delay & Modulation
Be Sharp Live
Any guitar processor’s success or failure is
measured on its live performance. The G-Sharp
is probably one of the most intuitive and
easy-to-use guitar processors around. In fact, if
you can operate a guitar pedal, you can operate
the G-Sharp… It’s that simple! But that doesn’t
mean what’s under the hood is simple. Nothing
could be further from the truth. What you get is
an easy to use, highly sophisticated guitar
effects processor. Every preset sounds
astonishingly good and you’re good to go and
play live instantly. With the simple adjustment
knobs you’re on the fast track to changing any
preset to fit your personal taste.
All of the reverbs that come with G-Sharp are
based on TC’s top notch legacy algorithms but
have been fine-tuned for the guitar player. The
Delays are in celebrated TC quality and you
probably won’t find a better and more versatile
delay. The TC Chorus, Tremolos and Phasers are
all based on the algorithms from G-Major.

Vintage – Classic pedals for Guitar & Bass

Vintage Delay
Vintage Dual Distortion
The Vintage Delay will instantly bring
you back to the time of warm, lush,
“all-tube” echoes, and at the same
time it can bring you forward in time
to state-of-the-art digital delays. It
builds on the legacy of the classic TC
2290, the holy grail of delays. Resurrect the
tape echo of the 60’ies, recreate the “analog”
temperate sound of the tubes, or be cool with the studio
quality delays.
The full-bodied vintage sound is
pleasantly warm and crispy, and
adds solidness to the bottom that
spurs memories of the past. Switch
between the two gain settings and
enjoy the power and the mood of dual
distortion. With the color filter you can get
that extra edge to the top end, while keeping the
original sound intact.
Vintage Overdrive
Vintage Distortion
The velvety yet crusty and crunchy
sound will make your guitar sing.
Normally you would have to use an
old tube amp to acquire the balmy
and poignant overdrive that this
pedal delivers. Your dynamics are loyally
reproduced and the Vintage Overdrive will
give you deliciously sweet harmonics and a
broad natural sounding tonal spectrum.
Often versatility is called upon and the
Vintage Distortion pedal gives you
all the choices. From jazzy laid-back
sounds to mega fuzz sledge
hammer action that will blow your
toupee off. With the boost function
bypassed you’ll get a sound that makes you
think of late night jazz sessions. Turn on the
boost and your guitar is on the fast track to roaring
thunders similar to legend rock albums of the past.
Vintage Tremolo
Vintage Compressor
Remember those tube amps with that
extremely creamy and alluring
tremolo? The Vintage Tremolo
reconstructs exactly that sound, yet
it gives you all the power to adjust
according to your taste or mood. If you
dig a more saturated expression, just boost
the signal. If you want to go really slow and
really deep adjust the speed and depth knobs. The mode
knob lets you switch between soft and hard tremolo.
With clarity and dynamics of virtuosic
dimensions and steadfast character,
you can crank up the compression
level to max. Even out any indecisive
signals by cranking down the
high-input signals and boosting the low
ones – and do it without loosing any of the
tasty lucidity and dynamics of your original sound.
Choose slow attack times and go completely percussive,
or choose fast attack times for loads of sustain.
Vintage Tube Primer
Vintage Bass Distortion
If you’re looking for that classic
overdrive sound that gives you a full
spectrum of dynamically superb
tones, look no further. The
Tube Primer will sound like an
original vintage tube amp if you crank up
the distortion to the max, but if you use the
unique overdrive/clean knob and mix in the dry
signal, you get a stunningly clean, soft and crisp sound.
Use the separate and adjustable 0-20 dB clean boost for
extra spice and power.
Add extra punch and roar to your bass
and preserve your natural musical
expression while adding loads of
hurling fuzz to the bottom. Apply
grandiose sustain in normal mode,
enriching the overtones and enlarging
the bottom. Engage the boost and you’re on
the highway to Fuzz’n’Buzz. Control the blend
of distortion and your original tone with the mix factor
knob.
SCF pedal
VPD1
The SCF has earned a reputation as one
of the best sounding Chorus pedals
in the world. The ultra clean,
smooth and clear tone of the SCF
allows you to maintain the original
tone and characteristics of your instrument.
The new Vintage Pre Drive is in essence
a basic drive pedal but with an
additional front end boost
section. This extra stage provides an
additional level of overdrive in the
same pedal. On top of that the
resonance filters allow you to emphasize
the top or mids, fine tuning your boosted tone.
Both Bypass and Boost can be remote controlled, and at
a flick of a switch the Vintage Speaker simulator can be
enabled on VPD1's output.

Reverberation Brought to a Higher Level
Reverb with a Story to Tell
Features
M3000 is a pristine, Dual-Engine Reverberator
and Room Simulator, and much more than just a
sustain effect. It can tell stories. It lets you add
room with a distinctive character. It lets you
position a source in a room. Polished decay
reverb is available as well, for the times where
you haven't got more to say.
VSS3™
The groundbreaking VSS3™ algorithm in M3000,
with more than 20 man-years of development
behind it, ensures ultimate realism, accurate Early
Reflections, smooth Decay and Pitch Accuracy.
Furthermore, the technology has the ability to
keep the signal 100% free of deteriorating
modulation, yet still provides modulation as an
option. VSS3™ reverbs are available only on
M3000 and System6000, but because of
hardware constraints, not as plug-ins on DAW’s.

An Industry Milestone
While System 6000 won the prestigious TEC
award in the year 2000, its software and
processing capabilities have developed
immensely since then – a development path
offering System 6000 users a wealth of free
additions and new license possibilities.
With such a pool of additional processing to
choose from, System 6000 today offers two
distinctively different entry points: Reverb 6000
and Mastering 6000. Naturally, Reverb 6000 and
Mastering 6000 can both be expanded with
optional algorithms, retaining the well known
license-based structure.
Multiple Mastering 6000 and Reverb 6000 units
can be connected on a network, creating a huge
pool of processing power – all available at one
place or shared between rooms. How the lines
are drawn can be changed at the push of a
button, allowing resources to always reflect the
needs of the moment. The ease of control will be
apparent when using the TC Icon Remote or its
software equivalents for Mac or PC. The System
6000 is fully compliant with networking,
sharing of processing resources and time code
automation or built in workstation automation.
The System 6000 family do not only provide the
best possible environment and routing for the
algorithms running internally, they also improve
surrounding equipment by safeguarding overall
studio timing, and by reporting even the
slightest problem in digital interfacing, instead
of ignoring slips and glitches that might not be
heard at first.
Turn a Master into a Masterpiece
Mastering 6000 is packed with a choice selection
of precision tools for multiple mono, stereo and
multichannel processing. Up to four different
Engines may be used simultaneously, for
instance four 5.1 dynamics processors, two
stereo and two 5.1, or any other combination you
like. New limiting and compression algorithms
make their debut with the introduction of
Mastering 6000, while all of the legendary
processing from Reverb 6000 and optional
licenses can be purchased or leased as required.
Halls of Fame
Containing the entire Reverb palette developed
by TC Electronic, Reverb 6000 is a four engine
Reverb monster. It delivers the finest, wildest
and most research-intensive spatial effects
found in the audio industry today. Reverb 6000's
impeccable timing and resolution is simply in a
league that sets it apart from any previous
Reverb in history. It features award winning VSS
reverbs, effect reverbs, wild delay and boundary
effects for mono, stereo, LtRt, 5.1 and 6.1
formats, plus the best algorithms and presets
from the classic M5000. All of the excellent algorithms from Mastering 6000 and other optional
licenses can be purchased or leased as required.
“Those who have used one will by now be slavering at the prospect of the bits they haven't yet tried, while those who haven't
should be even more desperate to get their hands on one. It's the guv'nor.”
