The TC Electronic T2 Reverb is a reverb pedal. MusicRadar's reviewer found that "While it sounds fantastic, the T2's modulated 'verbs could be a little over the top even for ambient fans"1.
Where it came from
The T2 sits at the end of a line TC Electronic built with Pro Guitar Shop. After the success of the Hall of Fame, TC collaborated with Pro Guitar Shop on the 2012 Trinity Reverb, which added two exclusive ethereal sounds1. The T2 carries that lineage forward: Premier Guitar's press coverage described it as containing "the two ethereal reverbs that made the original Trinity Reverb such a hit"3, and Guitar Interactive Magazine's Jonathan Graham put it the same way in the announcement4.
The ten sounds
A Roman numeral-encoded mode selector chooses between eight new PGS-designed voices plus the two ethereal settings from the original Trinity, ten sounds in total1. MusicRadar's reviewer described the range: "The T2's 10 sounds take you on a voyage from heavily flanged 'verb to organ-like wobble and painfully slow pitch-bending"1.
Controls and TonePrint
The pedal's pre-decay switch determines how long it takes for the reverb to kick in, which shapes how quickly the wash builds behind your dry signal1. A TonePrint slot lets you load a pro player-designed reverb, or make your own using TC's TonePrint Editor1.
What reviewers said
MusicRadar's verdict was positive with a caveat: "While it sounds fantastic, the T2's modulated 'verbs could be a little over the top even for ambient fans"1.

Questions
What is the difference between the TC Electronic T2 Reverb and the Trinity Reverb?
The T2 is the sequel to the Trinity Reverb. The Trinity came out in 2012, when TC Electronic collaborated with Pro Guitar Shop and added two exclusive ethereal sounds to its reverb line. The T2 keeps those two ethereal settings and adds eight new voices designed with Pro Guitar Shop, giving it ten sounds in total where the Trinity carried the original pair.
How many sounds does the T2 Reverb have?
Ten. A Roman numeral-encoded mode selector chooses between eight new PGS-designed voices plus two ethereal settings carried over from the original Trinity Reverb. MusicRadar's reviewer described the ten sounds as a voyage from heavily flanged reverb to organ-like wobble and painfully slow pitch-bending.
What does the pre-decay switch do?
According to MusicRadar's review, the pre-decay switch determines how long it takes for the reverb to kick in. In practice it lets you set a short pause before the wash swells in behind your dry signal, which shapes how quickly an ambient pad builds.
Can you load your own reverb into the T2 Reverb with TonePrint?
Yes. The T2 has a TonePrint slot that lets you load a reverb designed by a pro player, or build your own using TC's TonePrint Editor and load that onto the pedal instead.
How much does the TC Electronic T2 Reverb cost?
When the pedal was announced in September 2014, MusicRadar reported a UK street price of around £118. A US list price is not given here, so treat that figure as the launch-era UK price.
