TC Electronic TC2290-DT

Dynamic Delay Controller for Modern Studios

TC2290-DT combines a powerful VST plugin with a tactile USB hardware front‑panel, giving you hands‑on control over classic delay sounds. What stands out is its signature ducking delay that quietly backs off while you play and returns in the silence, preserving clarity in complex mixes.

Standout Features

The authentic recreation of the original 2290 circuitry is housed in a compact controller, featuring a dedicated dynamics section for automatic ducking and selectable chorus, flanger, tremolo and stereo‑pan modulation.

Delay & Time Control

Matching any tempo is easy, whether you need tight rhythmic echoes or sprawling ambience.

• Maximum Delay Time: 300 ms — long enough for rhythmic repeats without muddying fast passages.
• Tempo Sync: 64th note to whole note subdivisions — ensures delay stays musically locked.
• Adjust tap tempo or enter delay values manually using the direct keypad for on‑the‑fly adjustments.

Dynamic & Modulation Features

A built‑in dynamics processor creates the distinctive ducking effect. Additional modulation brings creative texture to your delay lines.

• Ducking Delay: automatic level reduction while signal is present — keeps solos clean.
• Modulation Types: chorus, flanger, tremolo, stereo‑pan — selectable via dedicated knobs.
• Feedback Range: 0 % – 100 % — from single echo to endless repeats.

Control Interface & Connectivity

Physical knobs and LED meters deliver immediate visual feedback, while USB ensures seamless integration with any major DAW.

• Input / Output Levels: adjustable sliders — balance dry and delayed signals.
• Mix Control: continuous rotary — fine‑tune wet/dry balance.
• Plug‑and‑play USB connectivity supports AAX, VST, VST3 and AU formats for versatile use in studio setups.
