Get to know them!

Want access to TC Electronic’s entire TonePrint library? The PLETHORA X5 gives it to you, plus a whole lot more, in a stereo multi-effects pedal that’s jam-packed with player-friendly features. The PLETHORA X5 stores a lot — a lot — of effects under its streamlined, easy-to-use layout. Not only do you get five effects slots, with up to 75 TonePrints in each slot, but you can also store up to 127 custom pedalboards using any combination of effects. MASH footswitches supply real-time expressive control over your effects, while an expression input enables you to take command of any effect or add a volume pedal anywhere in your signal chain. Beyond that, an effects loop with customizable routing allows you to integrate external stompboxes or connect to your amp using 4-cable method. The PLETHORA X5 includes all the essential features you demand, such as a tuner, noise gate, cab sim, tap tempo, and MIDI connectivity. Complete with TonePrint App editor compatibility and Bluetooth connectivity, the TC Electronic PLETHORA X5 belongs at the heart of your guitar rig.

Build and store up to 127 custom pedalboards — the easy way

The PLETHORA X5 stuffs TC Electronic’s entire TonePrint library into a single streamlined unit. Use up to five effects simultaneously, with the ability to store up to 75 TonePrints in each of the unit’s five effects slots. Load each slot with any TonePrint from TC’s extensive library or create your own. TC packed the PLETHORA X5 with a bunch of premade pedalboard configurations to get you started. Want to customize your board? No problem. The PLEHORA X5 makes swapping effect order a breeze. And when you’re ready for a serious deep dive, this multi-effects pedal enables you to take full advantage of TonePrint’s in-depth tweakability to craft your own unique sounds. Finally, when you build the perfect effects chain, the PLETHORA X5 enables you to store up to 127 custom pedalboards, with no spaghetti-like cable mess, hook-and-loop fastener nightmares, or power supply headaches.

Included TonePrint FX:

  • Hall Of Fame 2 Reverb
  • Flashback 2 Delay
  • Sub ‘N’ Up Octaver
  • Brainwaves Pitch Shifter
  • Corona Chorus
  • Hypergravity Compressor
  • Mimiq Doubler
  • Vortex Flanger

  • Quintessence Harmony

Flexible effects loop makes integration with your rig a breeze

The TC Electronic PLETHORA X5 doesn’t include any amp simulations, and there’s a reason for that. This powerful multi-effects unit is geared toward tone chasers who have already found their signature sound via amp distortion and drive pedals. Because really, why would you want to emulate something that’s already been perfected? Rather, the PLETHORA X5 takes your hard-earned, painstakingly crafted tone to the next level with studio-quality effects. Its high-quality effects loop boasts an adjustable efects insert point that allows you to integrate your favorite dirt boxes anywhere in your signal chain. Plus, you can use the insert to connect your amp using the 4-cable method, allowing you to choose which effects go in front of your amp’s input and which effects live in your amp’s effects loop. At Sweetwater, we’ve used the PLETHORA X5 with a bevy of high-dollar amplifiers, bolstering their tone with tasty compression, killer ambience, and liquid modulation, with zero tone suck. We dig the built-in Sentry Noise Gate, too. It keeps your entire rig whisper-quiet.

MASH footswitches maximize expression

The PLETHORA X5 is an expressive piece of gear, thanks to its five MASH footswitches. Real-time modulation ramping, volume swells, fluid mix control — you can do all that and more by applying pressure with your foot. Plus, each MASH switch can control up to three effect parameters simultaneously using customizable action curves, imbuing your effects with new dimensions of expression. Need more control? Not a problem for the PLETHORA X5. Its expression input accommodates an expression pedal, enabling you to take command of any effect or add a volume pedal anywhere in your signal chain.

Includes a myriad of essential player-friendly features

With the TC Electronic PLETHORA X5 in your rig, attaining inspiring sounds will be more effortless than ever. This TonePrint multi-effects pedal’s Quick Swap feature enables you to devise interesting sounds by switching pedal order on the fly. Want to flip your delay and reverb around for otherworldly ambience? Toss modulation in front of your amp for some EVH-esque textures? With the PLETHORA X5, it’s easy — simply hold down the footswitches of the effects you’d like to swap and voila! Gone are the days of ripping apart your pedalboard for an impromptu sonic experiment! You also get a built-in optional global cabinet simulation for convenient DI-ing. This British-style cab sim was crafted in-house by TC’s design team, and it sounds amazing. And MIDI In/Thru jacks make selecting configurations from an external device a piece of cake. To top it off, the PLETHORA X5 includes a true stereo signal path for rich, ultra-wide effects and easy rig integration. The PLETHORA X5 was clearly made with pro-level rigs in mind.

What is Certified Open Box Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call "Certified Open Box" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

Certified Open Box (also known as a demo) means we’ve had it out of the box for our YouTube channel, displayed at events, tested in our studio, or maybe it was in a customer’s hands for a few days and isn’t ‘factory fresh’ as a result. Every Certified Open Box item we sell has Sweetwater’s 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty and has been tested and verified up to ‘new’ specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it’s in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Certified Open Box item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!
