Artists

Having been the preferred effects brand of top artists for more than three decades – TC Electronic has a strong tradition of being associated with past, present and next generation benchmark artists pioneering the way of music. TC Electronic’s choice of endorsed artists is not in any way biased by religious or political beliefs nor by musical genre. Talent comes in many shades and our sole focus is to assist musicians and engineers take their talent to a level they didn’t think possible.

	Stef Burns Stef Burns has been playing top level guitar for more than three decades alongside some of the biggest stars in the music world including Alice Cooper, Michael Bolton, Vasco Rossi, Huey Lewis and Sheila E. Here he tells us about the TC Electronic effects that he uses on the road and in the studio.		Andres Mayo Andres Mayo runs Andres Mayo Mastering & DVD, one of Latin America’s top mastering houses. The company specialises in production, editing, authoring and integral realization of musical titles on DVD. Andres about System 6000: "It is the most recent incorporation to our studio equipment and is a true gem of digital engineering. It serves as a true helping hand in any mastering situation, as complex as it may be.”
	Mika Vandborg Few guitarists can elicit the range of tones from their instrument as Mika Vandborg. It's easy to see why when you cast your eyes to the comprehensive pedalboard that gets barely a second's rest as Mika constantly drops effects in and out of the loop to add depth, power, grit and energy to his dynamic playing style.		Philippe ‘Fifi’ Chayeb Philippe ‘Fifi’ Chayeb was born in Nice in 1965 and showed an interest in music at just five years old when he started to play piano. He then went on to learn double bass at six years old and carried on studying that at Nice conservatory until he was 17.
	Jesse Stern (Sly Stone) For Stern, bass is more than just low frequency vibe, defining the role of the bass as “the mediator between the pocket and the harmony. The bass should bring out the best in the groove and the melody.”		Doug Cook These days Doug Cook may favour producing ‘in the box’, but it wasn’t always that way. Despite learning his trade in an old-skool world of outboard and tape, Doug’s more likely to be found mixing an eclectic stable of bands with Pro Tools and his trusty PowerCore X8.
	Harry McVeigh (White Lies) Harry has chosen the TC Electronic G-System as his weapon of choice for his effects processing and is using it extensively during their gruelling tour schedule this year.		Robbie Bronnimann Robbie may have started his career playing the piano at the age of 5, but a love of Depeche Mode, Howard Jones and Trevor Horn throughout his teenage years would be the catalyst that instilled a passion for electronics, production and programming.
	Joe Trohman Joe has been using the TC Electronic “G-Major 2” as his choice for all his guitar effects on their recent tour. When asked what he though of the unit Joe responded “The G-major 2 has all I need and more than I’ll possibly ever need”		John Petrucci John Petrucci is one of the most technically gifted guitar players in the world and, as one of the founders of Dream Theater, has enjoyed enormous critical and commercial success selling around 8 million albums worldwide.
