This image displays the top surface of the TC Electronic HALL OF FAME 2 REVERB pedal. Visible are four black rotary knobs and a single silver MASH footswitch. The knobs are labeled 'DECAY', 'TONE', 'LEVEL', and a multi-position 'TYPE' knob. The 'TYPE' knob allows selection between various reverb algorithms such as 'SPRING', 'PLATE', 'HALL', 'ROOM', 'CHURCH', 'MOD', 'LOFI', 'SHIMMER', and 'CLOUD'. The MASH footswitch is prominently located at the bottom center, featuring 'MASH' and 'TRUE BYPASS' labels.

There are two input jacks labeled 'STEREO IN MONO' (1 and 2) and two output jacks labeled 'STEREO OUT MONO' (REVERB and 2). These 1/4-inch audio jacks allow for both mono and stereo connections, providing flexibility in signal routing.

The rear panel of the pedal is shown, featuring the power input and a USB port. The power input is a standard 9V DC 100mA jack. The USB port is used for connecting the pedal to a computer for TonePrint editing and firmware updates.

3.1. Kontrollknappar

• FÖRFALL: Controls the length of the reverb tail. Turn clockwise for longer decay, counter-clockwise for shorter.
• TONA: Adjusts the brightness or darkness of the reverb. Clockwise for brighter, counter-clockwise for darker.
• NIVÅ: Sets the overall mix level of the reverb effect with your dry signal.
• TYP: A multi-position switch to select different reverb algorithms (Spring, Plate, Hall, Room, Church, Mod, Lofi, Shimmer, Cloud).

3.2. MASH Footswitch

The MASH footswitch is a pressure-sensitive expression controller. Pressing harder on the footswitch dynamically alters a chosen effect parameter, offering expressive control beyond simple on/off switching. It also functions as a true bypass switch for activating/deactivating the effect.

3.3. Anslutningar

• INPUT (1/4" Mono/Stereo): Connect your instrument or previous pedal in the signal chain here. Supports mono or stereo input.
• OUTPUT (1/4" Mono/Stereo): Anslut till din amplifier or next pedal in the signal chain. Supports mono or stereo output.
• POWER (9V DC, 100mA): Connect a regulated 9V DC power supply (center negative).
• USB-port: For connecting to a computer to use the TonePrint Editor software and for firmware updates.

4. Installationsguide

1. Se till att all ljudutrustning (amplifier, other pedals) is powered off.
2. Connect your guitar to the INPUT jack(s) of the HALL OF FAME 2 REVERB pedal.
3. Connect the OUTPUT jack(s) of the pedal to your amplyftaren eller nästa pedal i din signalkedja.
4. Connect a regulated 9V DC power supply (center negative, 100mA minimum) to the POWER input.
5. Slå på din amplifier and other audio equipment.

5. Bruksanvisning

5.1. Grundläggande användning

• Engage/Bypass: Press the MASH footswitch once to toggle the effect on or off. The LED indicator will illuminate when the effect is active.

• Adjusting Reverb Parameters: Use the DECAY, TONE, and LEVEL knobs to fine-tune the selected reverb type to your preference.

5.2. MASH Footswitch Functionality

The MASH footswitch is a pressure-sensitive expression controller. Pressing harder on the footswitch dynamically alters a chosen effect parameter, offering expressive control beyond simple on/off switching. The specific parameter controlled by MASH can be customized using the TonePrint Editor.

5.3. TonePrint Functionality

The HALL OF FAME 2 REVERB is TonePrint enabled. This allows you to beam custom-tuned effects from your smartphone (via the free TonePrint app) directly to your pedal, or create your own unique reverb sounds using the TonePrint Editor software on your computer (via USB).
