Plethora X5 : TC PlethoraX5: also great for Bass

4 years ago

I doubted for a while if I would replace my pedal collection almost entirely with this multi-effect. I decided to give it a try and was almost immediately convinced I had made the right decision. The interface is pretty self explanatory and although I don't like navigating the menu's with the toggle switches, there are ways to circumvent those. I'm not the type of person who changes their sounds all the time during playing, so for me it's not a problem to make one extra click before I can access a pedals parameters. But if you are there are many options to make changes more immediate, like with the hot-knobz, an expression pedal or the integrated mash switches.

The quality of the effects are great, just the same as the normal pedals from TC. The lack of overdrives was no problem for me, I have two overdrives I really like and wouldn't replace anyway and being able to put them anywhere in the signal chain with the effects loop of the plethora is an amazing feature.

I've yet to discover many more features of this pedal but after a few months of using it I'm pretty sure I'm not going to sell this pedal anytime soon. It's a keeper!
