TonePrint-enabled pedals get tiny
TC Electronic Minis
We’ve already seen a few diddy pedals in the TC line – the PolyTune Mini, Ditto Looper, Spark Mini Booster and Hall Of Fame Mini – but now, TC has shrunk four more TonePrint pedals: the Flashback Delay, Corona Chorus, Shaker Vibrato and Vortex Flanger.
We’ve been bursting to tell you about these pedals for weeks, so here’s a first look at the new additions to the TC family.
For the full review of the TC Electronic Minis, check out Total Guitar issue 256, on sale 7 July.

Just look at ’em: they’re tiny! Somehow, TC has managed to cram true bypass, analogue dry-through and three controls into each of these compact enclosures

The Flashback Mini Delay is one of the most versatile offerings in the new line – you’ll definitely want to keep your phone handy for beaming TonePrints

From classic jetplane swoops to zero-through flanging, the Vortex Mini Flanger provides the ultimate whoosh fulfilment

And finally, here’s a size comparison between the original Corona Chorus and its Mini brother; the smaller pedal loses the mode switch and tone knob, and runs from a power supply only, but keeps all the key features intact – good job, TC!
