With its stereo I\/O and bevy of controls, the pedal is suitable for creating anything from hard-rock dual riffs, Queen-style harmony guitars, screeching metal leads, and more. In fact, with the MASH technology that TC Electronic has bestowed upon the pedal—essentially turning the footswitch into a pressure-sensitive pitch-bender in its default state—the stompbox will suit Americana and country contexts as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis being a TC Electronic guitar pedal, the Quintessence also features TonePrint technology, with three TonePrint slots for importing custom-designed harmonies by means of the free TonePrint editor. You can beam these TonePrints into the pedal with your phone, or import them over USB.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Quintessence’s bypass switch can be set to either true or buffered, giving you the choice to keep your bypassed tone pristine or to lend the signal a bit of a boost to better handle long cable runs and multiple pedal setups. The pedal can be powered by 9V batteries or a 9V power supplies, available separately. For a full rundown on the pedal’s controls and features, please peruse the features section. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h2_34R1Z4rcOIa8NE_99A_jkV\"\u003eMASH Footswitch\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"description_2ub4q6HodBZr8d45BEOdIW\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eQuintessence features a MASH footswitch, giving you an expressive tool without taking up any extra pedalboard real estate. By default the MASH footswitch has been assigned to bend your harmonized note up to the next interval within the scale. However, within TonePrint mode, you can assign MASH to control just about any aspect of the pedal, including custom scale steps-both above and below the original harmony.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis not only makes the Quintessence more versatile (as you can switch between two different intervals mid-song without having to fiddle with knobs), it also lets you do fluid pedal steel bends, making the pedal suitable for country, Americana, and roots rock.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h2_34R1Z4rcOIa8NE_99A_jkV\"\u003eCustom Scales\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"description_2ub4q6HodBZr8d45BEOdIW\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eIf you don't feel like playing within one of the seven preset diatonic modes commonly used, the Custom scale mode lets you load in whichever flavor of tonality you want your harmonies to follow.\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen Quintessence is not in TonePrint mode, the Custom mode is set for Locrian.

As soon as you release it, the effect turns off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMASH Footswitch: The bypass footswitch is pressure sensitive in both Latch and Momentary mode, effectively acting as an expression pedal without the hassle of an actual expression pedal.
