Setup

Follow these steps to connect your Hall of Fame 2 Mini Reverb pedal:

Power Connection: Connect a standard 9V DC power supply (not included) to the power input jack on the side of the pedal. Ensure the power supply provides at least 100mA and has a center-negative polarity.
Input Connection: Connect your guitar or other instrument to the 1/4-inch input jack on the right side of the pedal using a standard instrument cable.
Output Connection: Connect the 1/4-inch output jack on the left side of the pedal to your amplifier or the next pedal in your signal chain using a standard instrument cable.

Operating the Pedal

The Hall of Fame 2 Mini Reverb features three control knobs and a unique MASH footswitch:

DECAY Knob: Controls the length of the reverb tail. Turning it clockwise increases the decay time, making the reverb last longer.
TONE Knob: Adjusts the brightness or darkness of the reverb. Clockwise rotation brightens the reverb, while counter-clockwise rotation darkens it.
MIX Knob: Determines the blend between your dry (unaffected) signal and the wet (reverb) signal. Fully counter-clockwise is dry signal only, fully clockwise is wet signal only.
MASH Footswitch: This pressure-sensitive footswitch acts as an expression pedal. Pressing and holding the footswitch with varying pressure allows you to control specific reverb parameters in real-time, such as swell, modulation, or other dynamic effects, depending on the selected TonePrint. A quick tap toggles the effect on/off.

TonePrint Technology

The Hall of Fame 2 Mini Reverb supports TC Electronic's TonePrint technology. This allows you to load custom reverb sounds created by professional artists or design your own using the free TonePrint App (available for iOS, Android, Mac, and PC).

Beaming TonePrints: Use the TonePrint App on your smartphone to "beam" TonePrints directly into your pedal via your guitar's pickup.
USB Connection: Connect the pedal to your computer via a mini-USB cable to access the TonePrint Editor for in-depth sound design and management.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Hall of Fame 2 Mini Reverb pedal, follow these maintenance guidelines:

Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the pedal's exterior. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the finish.
Storage: Store the pedal in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity.
Power Supply: Always use a regulated 9V DC, center-negative power supply with sufficient current (100mA minimum). Incorrect power can damage the unit.
Connections: Periodically check all cable connections for wear and tear. Ensure jacks are free of dust and debris.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Hall of Fame 2 Mini Reverb, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

Problem	Possible Cause / Solution
No sound or weak signal when pedal is engaged.	Check power supply connection and ensure it meets specifications (9V DC, center-negative, 100mA minimum). Verify all instrument cables are securely connected and not faulty. Ensure the MIX knob is not set to fully dry (counter-clockwise).
Unwanted noise or hum.	Use a high-quality, isolated power supply. Check for ground loops in your signal chain. Ensure instrument cables are shielded and in good condition.
MASH footswitch not responding or behaving unexpectedly.	Ensure the pedal is powered on. The MASH function is dependent on the loaded TonePrint. Verify the current TonePrint supports MASH control. Try resetting the pedal by disconnecting and reconnecting power.
TonePrint App connectivity issues (USB or beaming).	For USB: Ensure you have the latest drivers installed for your operating system. Try a different USB port or cable. For beaming: Ensure your phone's volume is at maximum and the phone's speaker is placed directly over your guitar's pickup. Reduce ambient noise. Update the TonePrint App to the latest version.
