TC Electronic Infinite Sample Sustainer - Capture The Moment and Make A Soundscape!

[@antonbegley]

I could listen to Pete playing all day long. This opener is absolutely unbelievable!

[@JaredPitcher]

This is such a good live option for pads and ambient stuff. A lot of my live playing is done with just the basic bass, drums and guitar, but I often wish we had a keyboard as well. I can see this filling in some of that space really well!

[@michaelsnydermusic]

Yes, absolutely. That’s how I use my Pedal Plus Sustainer which is the same thing but was far more expensive and the first of its kind. It’s great for ambient music recording as well. I often do improvisations over a sustained chord. I found tremolo is the best effect to use over the sustained notes. You should definitely look into this pedal if you do live performances. It’s like having both a keyboardist and a second instrument at once.

[@jillesguzman3333]

The improv towards the end of this video is something I will watch over and over again!

[@carollinson]

The guitarist in my band used this at our last gig. Wow. Awesome. Blended songs in the same key seamlessly. Fantastic bit of kit.

[@alwaysrockn2009]

Pete’s playing is just awesome. Dang, all on the fly I bet and it sounds amazing. You’re the man Pete!

[@morrisgentry8624]

Pete’s playing is just amazing!

[@gregrandallbtsr03]

Pete is so gifted. Always enjoy the demos and learning about new things and really enjoy hearing the marvelous music. Thanks!!

[@36on22]

Best demo of this pedal I've seen. Big help to me learning how to use it. Pete's tasty playing was a bonus!

[@paulschauerman2052]

I just love Pete's tone, let alone his playing!

[@scarey2me]

Impressed with TC pedals. Love that FX loop. So versatile.

[@SomeKindOfMadman]

I’ve been waiting for this vid. I got the TC Infinite right when it was available in the US; I enjoy it immensely. It easiest to use it with your foot as you play, it’s all about the timing; and a bit of theory goes a long way.

[@billtravis523]

Oh Yay! Lee and Pete are reviewing/comparing the TC Infinite when I need more info before making a purchase!

[@joshscott3271]

Lee, you have been playing a blinder with all the insight and understanding you have been sharing about all this gear at your disposal, you need promoted, not court marshalled... I think that would make you, "The General Lee". I think that deserves a honk on a very famous orange Dodge Charger car horn... 👍🔥🎸💥🚀⚡🙏

[@thos1618]

The thing I hated about the Freeze was that it didn't compress your playing. That is, if you'd step on the switch right during your pick attack, the effect would be twice as loud as if you stepped on it a quarter of a second later. They could have solved this by digitally compressing your input signal, then allowing the level pot to decide how loud your pad sound would be.

[@baabaabaa2293]

Very nice fellas.. the looper worked great with it.... another thing to add to my bloody list!

[@alessandrodecarli2462]

SUSTAMPLE?…🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣…I love you, Cap…you’re really amazing! You and TPS are my reference for every purchase a need to do! And Beato is also great to understand what i’am doing…😅

[@gregmize01]

That last loop- jam was great!

[@ey870]

Pete Dude - absolutely lovely - so impressed

[@big90sspec9]

Oh, it definitely worked. You guys are awesome. Could listen to Pete all day...

[@briancherry8088]

I always wanted a EHX freeze. Now this seems like a lot more functionality for an extra $50. Seems like a good deal if the price stays down.

[@PikaStu666]

Apparently if you combine this pedal with a Sustainiac pickup, you get infinite sustain x2, which is the real reason why the dinosaurs became extinct.

[@raulfossa_realtor]

hahaha good one!

[@carpediem4413]

After comparing the TC Infinite, EHX Freeze and Gamechanger Plus (and hearing all the positives/negatives likes “warble”, etc.) I purchased the full sized Infinite ... I'm REALLY glad I did (what an awesome pedal and so inspiring to play). It sounds great and the built in verb is a really put the Infinite over the top. But the real advantage of the Infinte is the TonePrint functionality which allows you to completely shape the effect to your needs. The Gamechanger pedal is a cool design but not sure the large metal press pedal is enough of an advantage to justify the price difference (the Plus has no verb onboard & no toneprint). The EHX Freeze is a great pedal but I didn't like the fixed drone sound & clicky switch (Freeze has no verb onboard & no toneprint & no FX loop). Note: I originally was a bit frustrated with TC Infinite as I THOUGHT (incorrectly) the Verb effect stopped when you ended the sustain (which meant you had verb on your dry signal but it went away when you stopped the sustain effect). BUT thanks to TC support, I discovered you CAN use the onboard verb for your dry signal even AFTER you have turned off the sustain effect!! That's awesome! To do this you need to use a Toneprint slot and under the Tonprint app. set Routing Tab>Set Reverb Always On to 0.0db. THis is huge as your dry signal will have reverb even if you aren't using the sustain effect - so cool. As I played around with the Toneprint app, it became very apparent to me that the competition could not complete with how the Toneprint allows you to completely customize the effect to your needs - it is really useful. The only things I would have like to see added to the Infinite would be MIDI and Expression Pedal inputs. I could go on and on but all the options they give you with the Infinite really make this a no-brainer when comparing to the competition. I just hope the footswitch holds up because you are riding it more than most pedals (why an external sustain pedal would have been awesome for this but oh, well).

[@edwardjons8684]

I got to watch the Monty’s Danish Pete set as an ad before this demo of the Infinite. Bonus! Well done Monty’s!

[@danielnolton5457]

Great demonstration, you really went the extra mile, greatly appreciated!

[@onen0zednine753]

PEEEEEETTTTTTTEEE..freakin D pete, the king of intro soul strings bruh. Goodness. dont know how many of these videos I have saved just so I can go back and study the phrasing and what nots you put together, keep on keep'n on bruhface.

[@airey773]

Such great feel in the playing and great teamwork in the presentation.

[@lynyrddeville]

Unlike others pf its type, this one sounds pleasing to my ears. Nice pedal T.C. Electronics!

[@scottcarpenter701]

I had one arrive yesterday myself. easy enough to work out how to use and get this soundscaping into your song/jam. Certainly is a nice addition to the Toneprint line..

[@oriolman1]

Amazing job at the end of the video!!! very inspiring!

[@matzer8846]

Very nice ... this TC is more in the sustain ball park whilst the EHX Freeze is more a "drone tone" thing ... both are very usable whenever you feel alone when practicing 👍 Impressive tones you got from this setup .... great demo🌄

[@paulfyvie9705]

Devine playing Pete, thank you.

[@andrewchow6357]

Using this with synth pedals would be killer.

[@denmar355]

Turning up at solo guitarist gigs in pubs and restaurants around the globe.

[@Wade6242]

Some awesome playing Pete

[@johnjgibson6807]

Man You Guys Mastered That Demo, Time For That New Album 👍👍🎶🎶🎸

[@michaelvarney.]

Can’t wait for this to be implemented in the Plethora.

[@ericajohnson7535]

like the "freeze" pedal? I love this, especially freezing a chord and then altering the pitch of the original with a whammy creates awesome phasing.

[@DoubleDguitar]

You guys worked together on that last jam like a couple of mesmerizing water ballerinas.

[@johnhensley6808]

Awesome tones Pedro..

[@Bryan-kl5rr]

thanks Gertrude 👍

[@drzecelectric4302]

Tc has the sweetest delays

[@MrJayscinema]

Anyone know if tc will add this to the plethora?

[@pedalscapes]

Cool pedal, love the superego from EHX too...

[@RyanMcQuen]

I hope this gets added to the Plethora!

[@krisberntzen]

My God, Pete's been taking his health/appearance seriously lately! Looks seriously handsome and healthy. I've visited the TC factory before they started making guitar pedals, I think they had only the G-force. They were super nice, we were served a really large lunch and a tour of the factory. Each and every rack mount unit went through a 30 cm controlled fall, then being tested quickly before packaging 📦

[@FunkyELF]

I believe I've heard Beato mention that he uses some kind of sustainer. I think Pete might be wrong that it's done in post afterwards.

[@mikeygoda]

Rick has and uses a EHX Freeze sometimes, but a lot of the time he adds keys in post instead, and that usually sounds a lot more musical. These sustainer pedals are fun to practice and make music with, but can’t fully replace what a separate keyboard part can do.

[@migas114]

I need a video of Rabea testing this pedal!

[@mikeblue385]

lee needs a promotion. he can be general lee.

[@me.roderick]

Great review.💪🎸

[@Counterflak]

Just heard this pedal compared with the EHX Freeze and there's modulation on the sustained note which according to the video's creator can't be disabled and that for me is a hard no when it comes to this pedal. Was really hoping it would be a good alternative but it just isn't the sound i'm looking for.

[@alphanumeric1529]

Don't believe everything you hear on the internet. You can design your own tone prints with very fine control.

[@RocknJazzer]

then buy the freeze, but the static drone sounds like a cheesy 60s organ

[@carpediem4413]

The static drone of the freeze makes me want to claw my eyes out after a bit … it’s psychotic 😂 prefer the infinite

[@limpindug]

Rick says he uses his keyboard for that stuff. From 5watt world interview. 👍🥃Respect to you fellas.

[@ethanjoel7096]

The only thing the freeze has on this pedal is that the TC can sometimes have a bit of unwanted modulation which becomes quite obvious when listening to the sustained loop alone. But playing over it, there isn’t a big noticeable difference. And for a more affordable price and so many more parameters, I think I know which one I’m picking. (Even though I wish i cld afford both haha)

[@StratsRUs]

It's that 'problem' that I really like the sound of.It sounds beautiful.

[@ethanjoel7096]

@@StratsRUs the further down the sustain pedal rabbit hole I go, the more I’ve come to like it too haha. It gives it character!

[@DeltaJazzUK]

Now that is a useful bit of kit.

[@Metaphyve]

I need to try this with my EH mel9 and a ditto in the effects loop.

[@KRayxKodessA]

Neat pedal... great demo!

[@Superjet113]

These are the REAL TC pedals.. :)

[@reverbchorusdelay]

Cool little pedal but if size is no issue then I'd recommend the EHX Superego Plus

[@DamienTheCat]

I want this but I just can't help shake the feeling that something or multiple things I already have can do this and I just haven't explored some of my crazier pedals deep enough. Can the Empress Echosystem or any of the Hologram pedals do this stuff?

[@andrewriley9988]

A reverb and delay and looper should get u in the ball park

[@CatchMeOutside361]

Run a boss slicer after the infinite!!! 😱🤯

[@koyaanisrider6943]

Can you do that with a looper too?

[@ChrisOBrienMusic]

what's the tele in the background?

[@florenttenryu5011]

Lovely effect

[@RealEstateByLynch]

Pete, when is the solo album coming out? Still waiting. And still waiting for the post rock album from rabea

[@WeAreNotAmused]

Sustain a high note. With some overdrive 😊

[@fuzexi]

So how does this, or the mini sustainer, stack up against the Gamechanger Audio Plus pedal, which retails over £300? Oh, you just mentioned the Gamechanger… but what’s the difference between this one and the mini version?

[@thomasmaynard6125]

Can you use a exspression pedal on that to sway the sound

[@6stringsandapick]

An EHX B9 would be cool in the FX loop!

[@JC-mx8fy]

id love one but cant find it anywhere in canada

[@johnswinglehurst]

Lee looks pee'd off in this video ha ha

[@pierreturc6631]

Great demo! Can you kill the dry sound of the guitar to get the drones only ?

[@jackaro2]

Yes, you can

[@jonanderson1777]

What that gorgeous blue p90 tele in the back?

[@justinlightning]

It's a Reverend Greg Koch Gristle 90

[@geevanchi8105]

What's this like compared to the EHX superego?

[@SaphroxStudios]

I still feel the Plus Pedal gives more expression, buts still a great pedal

[@tylerdurden5122]

And the plus pedal just looks the part

[@carpediem4413]

I thought so too but tried the Plus for a few minutes and although that short time to play with it, I didn’t dig it as it was hard to capture the sample notes just right… I am still open to the Plus but at that price, I’m gonna try the Infinite first. Not sure if you really need a full size sustain pedal like on the Gamechanger as it certainly looks cool but adds to the cost. I also don’t want to send a pedal for repair to Latvia and wait to get it back.

[@8Junio76]

They should always check first the bypass mode. How do we know if the pedal suck the hell out of tone?

[@LOFIGSD]

Could use this to fill out some of the U2 type stuff we do in our Set.

[@HamadaElMnsour]

5.36 -5.44 three chords very reminiscent of a Prince song. Which one is it? Any one?

[@bryantwalley]

Little Red Corvette..

[@tres311]

Man is was hoping Pete would make me laugh my ass off like that Vox amp demo.

[@talonhackbarth7652]

Sustample should be the official name for it. 12:33

[@Michiel1972]

Why for godsakes almost in the same color as the Flashback?

[@Youtubemademeaddahandle]

In the US you may be demoted (or busted in rank) but, not from an officer to an enlisted. A Captain would become a Lieutenant. To be busted to Corporal you'd need to have been a Sergeant.

[@mbontekoe3358]

How many pedals do I need?

[@PlanetRoss365]

The answer is always, "Just one more..."

[@RocknJazzer]

zero really

[@Floppa-oz1kp]

Reminds me of the EHX superego

[@william7108]

I bet a latchkey kid would like to play that

[@kingstumble]

I like the idea of it but can't you get very similar sounds from a decent shimmer reverb?

[@36on22]

Yes but the sustain is limited. I run my RV6 and DD8 through my Infinite and can dial in numerous soundscapes, including that tasty shimmer from the RV6.

[@pjakobsen]

Hey it’s the infinite guitaristic cliches pedal

[@wildesage4172]

B9 ORGAN MACHINE IN THE LOOP

[@rovenordiales]

Omg this is so cool........

[@geofflowther2458]

I want the Sustahmpler

[@mC_DiDiDiDiDi]

Changed their set to look like 'That Pedal Show', even got the db readerm on the right at the back.

[@GianlucaZ19]

You can go and have a bite, and you'd still be hearing that

[@che2335]

We control the verticle we control the horizontal

[@winstonmetalcore1]

this is more of a freeze pedal Had this on my Boss ME80! feeling bad that i sold it :D

[@johniresearchist7263]

Captain looks tanned....a trip to the Mediterranean??

[@mangomango6746]

The bagpipe pedal

[@william7108]

How does quid converted into tiddlywinks? Or how many tiddlywinks would it take to make a quid?

[@DocRossi]

The modulation is a deal breaker for me.

[@henrikstilling]

If you put a loop in a loop in a loop in a loop in a loop in a loop, the Universe may implode.

[@Chemist1076]

No faRting today.. did pete get some feedback on earlier performance

[@ConkSMASH]

Sooo what you’re tell me is, you can play Steve Vai “For the Love of God” without needing that crazy synthed-out triple neck JEM…cause that’s that I got out of this. And that sounds pretty sweet.

[@tonelocrian]

Eno in a box.
