TC Electronic

TC Electronic is a Danish company, founded in 1976 by two musician brothers, Kim and John Rishøj. TC Electronic had varying success with products for nearly a decade. Their stereo chorus/flanger guitar pedal helped put the bran don the map. However, when they released their first 19″ rack effects unit, the TC Electronic TC-2290 delay, it cemented their place in history. Every guitarist and every studio in the mid 1980s had a TC Electronic TC-2290, guitar players in particular loved the thing, and for good reason; it was a delay like no other. TC Electronic on the back of the success of the TC-2290, went on to develop a huge range of professional audio products.
