TC Electronic Gravy

TC Electronic · pedal

The TC Electronic Gravy is a custom Guitar Center version of TC's acclaimed Corona and TriChorus chorus pedals, offering two exclusive effects, tri-chorus and vibrato, custom-tuned for lush modulation. A toggle switches the pedal between chorus, a TonePrint slot, and tremolo, while another footswitch handles on/off. It features stereo in and out, true bypass, analog dry-through for tonal integrity, and TonePrint support for loading custom or artist presets via USB or smartphone. Based on TC's excellent TriChorus, its chorus is rich and clean, with the tri-chorus setting adding deep, three-voice shimmer and the vibrato offering warbly pitch movement. It suits players wanting high-quality, versatile chorus and modulation with stereo width for clean rhythm, ambient layers, and vintage textures.
