This is the thing about Toneprints . I ' ve had two TC pedals with toneprints now , the Alter Ego and the Hyper Gravity . I produce music mostly on my PC , so I was really sold on the idea of having that level of control in a pedal . But in practice I found it was exactly what I DIDN ' T want in my guitar rig . For me the whole idea of having a real rig and not using ' inthebox ' effects is that I can develop a guitar sound with it ' s own character , that I can just go to . With toneprints if you don ' t like all the presets on the TC pedal you get this one slot that you can program obsessively , but you have to hook it up to your PC to download the new sound every time you can only use the ' beam ' function for artist toneprints , which is kind of crazy , there ' s no way to save your own and switch easily between them . I ' ve found it ' s a clunky process that gets in the way of making music , hence the Hyper Gravity got swapped out for the SP , and the Alter Ego is on shaky ground . It definitely has mojo , but most of the models sound fairly similar and there ' s no easy way to tweak the tone on them .
