TC Electronic Quintessence Guitar Effect
The TC Electronic Quintessence Harmonizer is an intelligent two-voice pitch-shifting pedal that generates natural-sounding harmonies over your playing in real time. With TC's MASH pressure-sensitive footswitch, you can bend the harmony voices up or down within the chosen scale for expressive, on-the-fly control. The TonePrint app and editor let players load signature artist presets or build custom scales and intervals from scratch, while the analog-dry-through signal path keeps the core guitar tone untouched.
- Two-voice intelligent harmonizer with state-of-the-art pitch detection
- Bend harmony notes up or down within the selected scale using the MASH footswitch
- TonePrint Editor and App for custom scales, intervals, and artist presets
- True or Buffered Bypass — both selectable, with analog-dry-through signal path
- 6.3 mm TS input/output, 9 V battery or DC powered
Intelligent Two-Voice Harmonizer for Guitar
The TC Electronic Quintessence Harmonizer is an intelligent pitch-shifting pedal that generates natural-sounding one or two-voice harmonies over your playing in real time. The pitch detection algorithm tracks fast picking, delivering convincing harmony lines for Allman Brothers-style leads, Thin Lizzy thirds, or Iron Maiden-style twin-guitar riffs straight out of the box.
MASH Footswitch and TonePrint Customization
The pressure-sensitive MASH footswitch bends the harmony voices up or down within the selected scale in real time. TonePrint accepts up to three custom scales and harmony intervals beamed in from the app or built in the editor for Mac, PC, and iPad, while a built-in short delay engine adds arpeggiator-style textures.
Signal Path & Bypass Modes
An analog-dry-through path keeps the dry guitar signal untouched even with extreme harmony settings. Switch between True Bypass for transparent tone and Buffered Bypass to preserve signal level across long cable runs.
- True Bypass: Yes — selectable for transparent signal when off
- Buffered Bypass: Yes — keeps signal level stable on long pedal chains
- Analog Dry-Through: Yes — dry signal stays analog regardless of effect settings
Harmony Engine & Front-Panel Controls
Key and Scale set the musical context, Harmony selects the interval, and Mix blends the harmony voices against the dry signal — all without diving into the editor.
- Controls: Mix, Key, Scale, Harmony — set blend, key, scale, and interval directly from the pedal
- Footswitch Modes: Latching / Momentary — momentary mode suits short harmony bursts
- MASH Footswitch: Pressure-sensitive — bends harmony notes within the selected scale in real time
