Good quality with some good sounds.
Ands 02.10.2020
I bought this pedal as I was wanting a flange effect for one song in our set list and my old flanger had died.
I already have a TC HoF and Flashback so knew they had some good sounds in them, so thought the Dreamscape would be versatile and sound good.

I didn't fully appreciate this isn't really a 'jack-of-all-trades' pedal, it's a Pettrucci signature pedal and as such is designed around his needs and his setup, and for me, sadly it just isn't working out.
I'm using a PRS 594 through a Friedman Smallbox.
The flange effect on the pedal rounds off the high end so much that it loses fidelity and doesn't cut through as well as I'd hoped when using distorted sounds.
The other settings work well, the chorus is nice as is the vibrato. The bright/dark switch doesn't go far enough to brighten the flange sounds. I have tried deep editing using the TC editor but I still can't get a flange sound I like from it.
The Dreamscape is now taking over chorus duties on my board and I went with a dedicated flange pedal, which which hindsight, I should have gone for in the first place.

The peadal is built well and the knobs have a good feel to them, although under stage lights you can't see where they're set being chrome.
Decent pedal overall, but not for me and my setup sadly.

All Petrucci modulation FXs in a single box
toxaart 22.05.2017
All Petrucci modulation FXs in a single box.

The pedal replicates the famous tones very accurately.

I was not able to download any toneprint from my smartphone through the app, but managed to do it using a PC.

The pedal supports toneprints created for 3 other TC Electronic Pedals: Corona Chorus, Vortex Flanger and Viscous Vibe. So basically you have 3 pedals in one.

What I did not like is how bright the LED is. It really makes the player blind, so try not to look at the pedal often.

Nice
dayandayan 04.03.2020
I bought this instead of getting Corona Chorus. It uses Corona's toneprints, so any sound corona chorus can give you, so can this pedal. It also includes two presets from shaker vibrato and vortex flanger. I'm not really into flanger but it sounds nice, and I love the vibrato, I think I'll use it more than chorus. Nice pedal, the downside is when it's turned on, the light is too bright. And fx level knob doesn't give you the same level with every setting. If you want to keep your volume as it is, you should set the fx knob at maximum, but when you switch at other effects, it'll give you huge amount of fx.

Works good, expected Petrucci perfection :)
tulvan 27.03.2019
The pedal works ok, sounds a little bland compared with the youtube videos I saw, but still a good pedal at a good price (the reduces one that is now available on Thomann).

5/7 would buy it again.

n
une bonne pédale que je n'ai pourtant pas aimé
numero66 22.03.2021
C'est une pédale très polyvalente avec vibrato, flanger et trois chorus dont un tone print. C'est son point fort. pour mieux faire marcher le tone print, je branche un micro voix et j'utilise l'application mobile.
Malheureusement je n'ai pas aimé jouer avec. La LED est très puissante. Couplé avec les potards argentés , il est impossible de voir la postion des potentiomètres dans la pénombre avec la pédale allumée. Ensuite quand on change d'effet, le niveau de sortie change radicalement donc une fois un son trouvé, si on change d'effet, il faut tout re paramétrer au risque de ne plus etre entendu ou de distodre l'ampli. Du coup je m'oriente sur une pédale plus simple et analogique la JHS Chorus. Avec moins d'options je pourrais peut etre plus facilement trouver 2 ou 3 sons qui me plaisent, et les changer vite fait.

Save space in your pedalboard
Nikolix 11.01.2021
I find it really nice that you can have 3 very useful effects in one pedal. Easy to use and excellent sound that fits very well both distorted and clean sounds.

Versatile modulation
Starscream67 01.06.2020
While JPs presets may not be exactly to my taste, having chorus, vibrato and flanger effects in one pedal is actually very handy. Plus the tone print feature makes it way more customisable. For the price, I don’t think there is a better option on the market. Not a huge fan of the bright blue LED, but love the soft foot switch and TC’s chassis design in general. Also TC is one of the few brands that work well in my Mesa Mini Rec fx loop.

Great pedal
Boris Filipovic 31.08.2021
This pedal contains 3 effects: chorus, flanger and vibrato. Every effect has 2 modes. I think of mode 1 is for clean guitar and mode 2 is for distorted sound.
I mainly use this pedal in Chorus mode 1 setting for clean sound or for metal rhythm (80s vibe). Flanger 2 setting will give you nice Van Halen Unchained sound.
Of course this pedal also contains Toneprint technology. Toneprints are premade presets that can be downloaded to the pedal. Great feature.
This is great pedal (it looks cool also) especially if you like to change modulation modes but dont want to have 3 different pedals for that. Sound is also very good. Would buy again for sure.

Good chorus and flanger pedal
Stanislav N. 24.12.2015
Good chorus pedal with additional effects.
Pros: Solid, responsive and compact pedal. The choruses sound good, sweet and transparent. The second flanger is usable as well. The pedal has notch filters for bright/normal/dark tone switching which is nice. Special thanks to TonePrint technology with dozens of presets you can download from the library.
Cons: The front LED light is too bright and blinds me when I try to recognize knob position, particularly in the dark.
Overall: I like it, the pedal does the job.

Superb!
Spiff 31.05.2020
Fantastic sound! Works with instrument level and line level which is used in some send return loops.

Usual 5 star service and customer support from Thomann and UPS.
