Introduction
Hall of Fame Mini Reverb 4
Introduction
Never judge a book by its cover – or a guitar
effect pedal by its size.
Hall of Fame Mini Reverb was designed by mu-
sicians for musicians to give you an amazing re-
verb pedal that takes up virtually no space on
your pedal board.
Add in the TonePrint concept – and you will find
that the possibilities are virtually endless:
– Replace the classy, well-known TC Electronic
Hall reverb that comes with your Hall of Fame
Mini Reverb by something more unconven-
tional – for example, the Eighties’ classic “Gat-
ed Reverb” or an old-school spring reverb.
– Download your favorite artist’s TonePrint –
and discover the true potential of a top-notch
effect fine-tuned by a top artist.
– And this is just the beginning. Because with
TC Electronic’s TonePrint Editor, you will be
able to embark on a journey to your personal
Reverb Heaven, creating a reverb that ex-
presses your musical personality better than
anything else in the world.
Welcome to the world of professional reverbs
– in a box that will fit in the palm of your hand.
Giants of Reverb –
in a Bonsai format
TC Electronic is synonymous with some of
the best sounding reverbs out there.
Think of a song with reverb on it that you have
heard in the last 20 years – and chances are it’s
us!
TC Electronic has built a very impressive library
of first-class reverb algorithms – and with Hall
of Fame Mini Reverb, we put they key to this re-
verb kingdom in your hands. All you need is an
Internet connection – and the courage to experi-
ment. Just download the free TonePrint Editor
and load top-notch reverb TonePrints from our
ever-growing library right into your Hall of Fame
Mini Reverb.
Hall of Fame Mini Reverb supports all the beauti-
ful reverb TonePrints that made the original Hall
of Fame an instant classic – and you can use
every TonePrint that was created for the original
Hall of Fame Reverb and its siblings Trinity Re-
verb and Arena Reverb.
Enjoy!
Reverb TonePrints in the TonePrint Editor’s
Library view. Pick your favorite reverb and send
it to your Hall of Fame Mini Reverb in seconds!
! Please note that you will need version 2.0
or higher of the TonePrint Editor for your
Hall of Fame Mini Reverb.
Version 2.0 of TonePrint Editor not only adds
support for Hall of Fame Mini, but also has a
Library function that allows you to access and
use TC Electronic’s pristine reverb algorithms
even without an Internet connection.
