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.
