INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on the purchase of your new M3000.

We hope, that you will have as much pleasure using it as we had making it. The objective of the M3000 has been to make the best reverb unit ever heard.

Utilizing the existing reverb technology to its limit didn’t satisfy the developers at TC, and we had to come up with an entirely new way of thinking about reverb. This is now known as the VSS™ Technology.

The M3000 is first and foremost a reverb unit, but we have also included a long list of well-known, tested and loved algorithms from other TC products as listed below.

-The M3000 is based on TC’s award-winning Dual Processing system, which gives you numerous options of combining the different preset-algorithms.

-See the M3000 as two separate machines connected via a flexible routing system. The routings are; Serial, Parallel, Dual Input, Dual Mono, Linked and Pre-Glide.

-The M3000 comes with 600 high grade factory presets (500 Single and 100 Combined), using our new VSS™ technology in combination with well known algorithms from other TC Products.

-Store your favorite presets in the internal RAM bank. Up to 250 Single and 50 Combined user presets can be stored.

-Store your favorite presets on a standard PCMCIA-card, and you have your own “tools” with you wherever a M3000 is available. Depending on the size of the card you can store up to 250 Single and 50 Combined presets.
