TC has won a lot of prestigious awards for the outstanding reverb algorithms that have delighted our users for decades. It is imperative to us that any reverb that leaves the TC labs is of unsurpassed excellence. You are sure to find the same high standards of quality in the G-Sharp reverbs. These reverbs are based on TC’s top notch legacy algorithms but have been fine-tuned for the guitar player.

The reverb engine of the G-Sharp gives you the following high-class TC reverbs to choose from:

TC Classic Hall • Pro Studio • Classic Spring • Plain Spring • Tin Plate • Gold Plate • Silver Plate • Tin Plate • Ambience • Stomp • Club • Soft Room • Tiled Room • Church • Concert Hall

TC Classic Hall
The reverb known from many legendary TC products that gives you a rich spacious feel with plenty of air. Perfect with medium to long decay times.

Pro Studio
A neutral generic studio. Where many other reverb types are tuned to stand out in a live environment, the Pro Studio is a subtle reverb that excels in recording situations where details in the source material are the primary focus.

Classic Spring
With the Classic Spring reverb in the G-Sharp you’ve got one of the best emulations of a classic spring reverb there is. We’ve spent a lot of time calculating and reinterpreting the behavior of a traditional spring reverb. Use this reverb when you want a contemporary “old-school” sound.

Vintage Spring
The Vintage Spring algorithm is fine-tuned to perfectly emulate the sound of the past. In the old days, large metal springs were used to make reverbs, and often you’ll find these in old vintage guitar amps. Use the Vintage Spring reverb if you want the classic sound that you would normally only find in vintage amps.

Plain Spring
Sometimes you just want the classic spring reverb, without to much color. The Plain Spring is an “unbiased” representation of the sound that a mechanical spring reverb will generate. If you want to achieve a sound that has a somewhat classic quality to it, but don’t want to color it too much, use the Plain Spring.

Gold Plate
We’ve boosted the full potential of an old school plate reverb, and designed the Gold Plate algorithm to reflect all the brightness, coloring and diffusion that the original plate reverbs had to offer. Use this reverb when you just can’t get enough "gold" on your sound.

Silver Plate
The Silver Plate algorithm is a luxuriously well-tempered plate reverb, which gives you a perfect balance between the Tin and Gold Plate reverbs. It’s got all the qualities of a classic plate reverb; the right amount of exquisite and gentle coloring, crystalline brightness and subtle diffusion. Use this reverb for just about anything, and especially when you want to add that complete and personal ambience.

Tin Plate
We’ve done our best to recreate the plate reverbs used prior to the digital era. The Tin Plate reproduces the sound of a large metallic plate, and gives you a sound that you probably heard on many recordings from the past. Use the Tin Plate when you just want the pure and uncolored plate sound. It is bright and has a diffuse quality that is perfect for funky rhythm guitar patterns.

Ambience
If you want to add a touch of reverb that clearly gives you a sense of music played in a vivid room, use the Ambience reverb. We’ve focused on the early reflections which will give you a sound that complements smaller rooms and clubs. The reverb is brilliant in emulating a feeling of environment that is well suited for dry source material.

Stomp
Quite an extraordinary reverb type reproducing some of the characteristics from contemporary stomp-box reverbs. This is not a smooth subtle reverb, but may be just what you are looking for if you need a reverb that is different and can cut through.

Club
Have you ever experienced the great difference between a sound-check and the actual concert? The Club Reverb emulates a typical empty mid-sized club. Try this as an effect that will emphasize and position the guitar rather than give it a big sigh.

Soft Room
A reverb type that resembles a relatively small room well furnished. In such a room many reflections are absorbed by soft material and source material is reflected and sustained only from walls and windows etc. The sound is short, dry, and quite intimate.

Tiled Room
Often you’ll want to get the bathroom effect without actually wanting it to sound like you’re playing in your bathtub. The Tiled Room reverb simulates the qualities of a small to med-size tiled room with its many reflections. At the same time it behaves respectfully towards the original source material. Use it as an effect that adds quite a bit of color to your sound.

Church
A highly diffuse reverb that is recognizable for its emulation of the many hard surfaces of different shapes found in traditional church rooms. From hell-bent rumbling lows to celestial angel-like highs - Church provides you with authentic and grandiose reverbs with medium to long decay times.

Concert Hall
This reverb has become a classic in itself. It simulates a rather large hall and it’s stunningly good at preserving the original and natural characteristics of the source material. If you’re looking for a sound with long decay times the Concert Hall is excellent and you’ll get a large and broad sound that is very distinctive.

TC entered the world of delay first with the TC 2290, which is now a legend in this category, and later with G-Force and G-Major.

The delay in the G-Sharp is based on everything we know about delay, and that’s quite a bit. You probably won’t find a better and more versatile delay.

In the Effects engine you have these awesome delays to choose from:

Delay • Soft Delay • Tape Delay • Lo-Fi Delay • Dynamic Delay • PingPong Delay • SlapBack Delay


Delay
We’ve made this “standard” delay to fit most uses and it will give you a precise and high quality delay that ensures that there is no deterioration of the original sound. This is a type of delay that you can use for all kinds of music and it will treat your original source material with great respect.

Soft Delay
The Soft Delay gives you a clear yet soft reproduction of your original sound. We’ve integrated a subtle yet significant high cut with a relatively high crossover frequency, and that gives you a soft and smooth delay. Use this delay when you want to achieve the clarity and presence that you would normally only hear on studio recordings.

Tape Delay
This algorithm emulates the old school tape delays, were the delay itself was created using a tape recorder with a tape-loop. Of course this deteriorated the sound. The Tape Delay in the G-Sharp preserves the original source material and gives you a perfect emulation of all the good characteristics of the original Tape Delays.

Lo-Fi Delay
Do you want that ugly and muddy, yet funky delay sound, which only virtually broken products will do? Well, look no further, the Lo-fi delay will do the job. No highs or lows escape the filtering of this grainy algorithm, and it is a brilliant addition to those classic fuzz and tube overdrives.

Dynamic Delay
With the Dynamic Delay you have the possibility to alter the delay output level actively depending on the dynamics of the input level. What that means is that you can have a low level delay when you play your guitar, and a higher level of delay when you silence it. This is great for pauses in between phrases in a solo.

PingPong Delay
The PingPong Delay basically pans the delay repeats from left to right and back again, and at the same time it keeps the original position of the input. You’ve probably heard this type of delay on loads of recordings and you’ll easily recognize the use of this very wide and ping ponging effect.

Slapback Delay
This delay is a very short delay that might only count one or maybe two, three repeats. Some say it almost sounds like a doubling effect, and that’s not far from the truth. Your sound will become a lot more massive and dense, and you’ll find it to be extremely good for funky rhythm guitar riffs.

G-Major has proven its worth, and now it stands as a role-model for G-Sharp. The TC Chorus, Tremolos and Phasers are all based on the algorithms from G-Major. But beware; you’ll get a sound that really stands out from the crowd, filled with musicality, and at the same time adding lots of variety.

The modulation choices are versatile in the Effects engine and you can choose from the following set:

Vintage Phaser • Smooth Phaser • Swell Tremolo • Hard Tremolo • Vibrato • Flange • Lush Chorus • Soft Chorus

Vintage Phaser
The Vintage Phaser awakens the sound of the past. Basically speaking, this phaser uses four different all-pass filters, and that gives you a direct and to-the-point sound that emulates true vintage phasing. The overall sound is naturally determined by the amount of mix you apply, but you’ll be surprised about the versatility of this algorithm.

Smooth Phaser
This phaser is significantly smoother than the Vintage Phaser. It uses twelve all-pass filters at the same time which gives a well-adapted and very smooth sound. Use this type of phaser when you want the typical phasing characteristics combined with a more elegant and subtle approach.

Swell Tremolo
The Swell Tremolo uses a wave shape that is very close to something triangular. This triangular shape will give you a soft and appeasing tremolo that is quite useful for slower and more melancholic types of music. The Swell Tremolo gives you sensitive yet steadfast level changes, and like all true tremolos it is controlled by an LFO.

Hard Tremolo
If you’re the type who wants an aggressive and punchy tremolo, the Hard Tremolo will suit your needs perfectly. The Hard Tremolo utilizes a square wave shape that gives you a significantly different type of tremolo than what the Swell Tremolo has to offer. The LFO controlling the level changes gives you an “in-your-face” and “to-the-point” tremolo.

Vibrato
The Vibrato effect modulates the incoming pitch and not the level like a tremolo would do. That means that the result is similar to the vibrato technique that you will hear a singer use, and indeed, a lot of guitar players use this effect to make their guitar, so to speak, sing. Use the Vibrato to create a warm and singing sound that will set your sound apart from others.

Flange
The Flange is a classic flanger that gives you a widespread flanging effect. TC flangers have been known for their perfect relation between speed and depth, and the Flange algorithm in G-Sharp is no exception. Use the Flange when you want a large chorus-like sound that has all the typical and beneficial characteristics of a genuine flanger.

Lush Chorus
When you want to crank up the effects on your music, the Lush Chorus is always a good companion. It gives you a broader and more traverse sound that is a perfect match for more funky/jazzy styles with lots of solos.

Soft Chorus
The Soft Chorus is a basic chorus that gives you a well-tempered and natural sound. It’s well-suited for laid back styles of music and works really well on ballads. This type of chorus will give you a sound that is true to the original source material and you’ll be surprised how often it will add that extra something to your music.
