Pressure-sensitive MASH footswitch for expression





Using the pressure-sensitive MASH footswitch on Quintessence, you can easily bend harmonized notes up or down to the next interval. And you can set this footswitch to operate either in latching or momentary switching modes, depending on your playing preferences.





Create your own presets with TonePrint





Use the TonePrint Editor software to create your own custom harmony effects for Quintessence. Use the TonePrint app to beam them directly to your pedal, or to browse for TonePrints created by pro guitarists. Lots of guitarists at Sweetwater have become hooked on TonePrint because it's the gift that keeps on giving.





Selectable Buffered or True Bypass switching





Got a lot of true bypass pedals on your pedalboard? Set the Quintessence pedal to Buffered switching mode to help maintain your signal level, especially if you're using long cables. Already have buffers on your pedalboard? You can switch Quintessence over to True Bypass switching mode if you prefer. Either way, its analog-dry-through signal path means your core dry guitar tone will remain completely untouched, even when using extreme settings on Quintessence.
