TC Electronic

Founded in Denmark in 1976 by brothers Kim and John Rishoj, TC Electronic first made its mark with the Stereo Chorus Flanger (SCF), prized for its transparent modulation. The company later developed the TC 2290 digital delay, a landmark studio processor, and extended its guitar range with compact effects, loopers and TonePrint-enabled pedals. JustPedals listings include the MojoMojo overdrive, Dark Matter distortion, Spark Booster, Ditto X2 looper and Flashback Triple Delay. TC Electronic now covers guitar, bass and voice products, so compare the exact model’s stereo routing, presets and control method.

Distortion Pedals

Distortion clips the waveform more firmly than overdrive, generating dense upper harmonics, longer sustain and a more compressed response. Circuit topology and filtering decide whether the sound is tight and focused, broad and aggressive, smooth or deliberately abrasive. Gain sets the amount of clipping, while pre- and post-distortion tone controls strongly influence low-end definition, midrange presence and high-frequency texture.

True Bypass

Connects input directly to output through mechanical or relay switching when the effect is off, removing the active circuit from the audio path. It avoids buffer colour but leaves cable capacitance and switching design to influence high-frequency loss and possible switching noise.
