No Such Thing as Too Many Presets

Over the years, a veritable who's who of amazing bands, producers and artists including David Gilmour, Dream Theater, U2's The Edge and guitar virtuoso Robben Ford, have utilized the beautiful delays of the original 2290 - and many still do. Imported directly from the actual rack units of artists from all corners of the music world, TC2290's signature presets provide authentic recreations of the exact delays that helped define music history. On top of the classic sounds, the signature presets feature an ever growing collection of all new designs by world-class artists and recording engineers. Tweaked down to the very last detail, the presets for TC2290 are record-ready settings that will skyrocket your mixing or recording session.

Make Your Music Come Alive

With traditional delay plug-ins, loud echoes often overpower and interfere with the subtle, organic nature of the music. TC2290's dynamic delay responds instantly, and musically to the volume of the input signal – so the actual repeats change in response to your music. While you're playing, the delay repeats blend seamlessly into the signal content, and when you stop the effect becomes more obvious. This is very similar to what is often referred to as ducking, which makes the desired signal much more prominent in the mix.

Metering & More

The optional hardware add-on for TC2290 provides high-resolution input and output meters for accurate signal monitoring directly on the interface, plus all tone-defining parameters including delay time, feedback level, modulation, mix settings and much more.

Ready for Your DAW

TC2290 is an awesome addition to any recording and mixing setup, and supports all modern plugin standards. This lets you make full use of DAW automation and project recall, and gives you the freedom to work with any audio software you prefer, including: Pro Tools; Cubase; Nuendo; Ableton Live; Reaper; Logic Pro X, and many more.

Capturing All The Details

TC2290 perfectly recreates the unmistakable sound of the original 2290. Over the course of more than a year, our engineers have taken apart four original units, each with their own distinct character, and measured them from top to bottom. In order to create the ultimate emulation, we then cross-compared the data step by step until we achieved the clarity and warmth that has always been the hallmark of the classic 2290 sound.
