TC Electronic - Plethora X3 Pedalboard

Description

PLETHORA X3 is your flexible collection of up to 127 mini boards within your pedalboard just like the original PLETHORA X5. In comparison, the only hint of a compromise is 3 slots instead of 5, but you may well find that beneficial, as it takes up less precious real estate on your pedalboard! Rest assured that the sound quality and flexibility is every bit as hard rocking as PLETHORA X5.

Load any one of your favorite TC Electronic TonePrint effects in any one of the 3 pedal slots. Then add up to 75 custom, swift-recall TonePrints to each effect and youre good to go. Once you have buckled up and got your fingers flying, step up and MASH the footswitches for mind-bending expressiveness. Each footswitch acts as an expression controller with customizable mapping. Tailor each effect and MASH-functionality to catch your drift and fit your playing style perfectly!
