TonePrint.
Chorus
“for clean sounds”
John’s clean chorus sound is legendary. Having used the SCF pedal for all chorusing duties ever since
Dream Theater’s debut album, John has very specific demands for his clean Chorus TonePrint: It must
have that classic TC Electronic shimmer, and although the Chorus should be very predominant, it shouldn’t
get in the way of the original guitar tone. John chose the Tri-Chorus mode for this TonePrint as the
three chorus lines “masks” the very obvious modulation sound of a traditional chorus. Set Depth and
Speed to the 12 o’clock position and crank FX Level and Tone to get John’s favorite clean chorus tone.
Flanger
“for clean sounds”
For the clean Vortex flange sound, John opted for a type of phase cancellation that doesn’t completely
cancel out, but sums the clean and effected signal into a warmer, swirly sound. John wanted this flange
sound to be close to a “chorussy” type-sound. Recommended settings: Set all knobs to the 12 o’clock
position for the standard TonePrint – and then adjust according to taste.
