radiophonic Posted October 31, 2018 Author Share Posted October 31, 2018 Just now, ped said: Owned by behringer now. All the people I knew at TC have left over the last couple of years. Tore is totally the public face of their pedal operation though. To the average player, Tore IS TC. I'm hardly a fanboy, but this looks like a significant change. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 I don’t remember if I met him but all the guys in marketing and the amplifier design end have left. I’m not sure if there’s anything underhand happening, just that I think TC are closing the Aarhus factory/office I think so lots of guys who worked there are not willing to relocate and their jobs are basically up for grabs. I might be wrong but I think that’s what my friend said. I’ll ask him for more details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radiophonic Posted November 1, 2018 Author Share Posted November 1, 2018 That's my worry too. TC innovated like crazy over the last 10 years and really made a lot of impact with players. The Flashback and Hall of Fame are pretty much ubiquitous these days. After Behringer took over, all we've really seen is some cheap old pedals rebadged (albeit improved build quality). Spectradrive was a minor development I suppose, but not really innovation as such. I'm guessing he stuck around for the relaunch of Toneprint - which is now more or less right IMO. Certainly a big improvement. Closing the Aarhus factory (news to me), inevitable loss of tech people, losing the public face of the brand, price cuts (not that I'm complaining). Maybe they are getting out of pedals, in favour of studio plugin gear like the 2290? It's a crowded market after all. Time will tell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micguy Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 So does the introduction of the new (no toneprint) bass amps mean that Tone Prints (and the support for them) are getting phased out?gosh, I hope not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dood Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Rumour has it they need to change the company to just C Electronic now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's suggestions that a lot of the 'new' TC pedals are rehoused Behringer ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_bass5 Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Tore blimey, things are changing at TCE..... Sorry 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiophonic Posted November 5, 2018 Author Share Posted November 5, 2018 Looks like Tore has joined Universal Audio. Hopefully it works out for all concerned. Quite a different emphasis as a company. Side note: as soon as Tore left TC, the switch on my Flashback went noisy. Like the same day. I’m not sure where to look for a replacement delay, but unless they make their direction clearer, I doubt it will be TC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
