Our take on the TC Electronic Plethora X1

The Plethora X1 is a mini multi-effects pedal from TC Electronic that packs 14 effects into a compact white-cased stompbox. It covers delay, reverb, modulation, tremolo, flanger and phaser, runs stereo in and out, and adds Bluetooth for preset management from a phone. The MASH footswitch gives pressure-sensitive control over effect parameters. At $155.50 at Sweetwater as of November 4, 2026, it sits near the low end of its recent range, with 6 stores pricing it new.

Questions and answers

Is the Plethora X1 worth it?
At $155.50 at Sweetwater as of November 4, 2026, it is a fair price for 14 stereo effects in a mini pedal. It suits players who want one flexible delay/reverb/modulation pedal rather than a full multi-effects board.
Can it run more than one effect at once?
No. The X1 runs one effect at a time, so it replaces a single slot on your board rather than a whole chain.
Does it work in stereo?
Yes. It has two 1/4-inch inputs and stereo outputs, so it fits stereo rigs and wet/dry setups.
How do I edit presets?
Presets are managed over Bluetooth from the TC Electronic app, and the MASH footswitch controls parameters by foot pressure.
Does it have amp modeling?
No. It is an effects pedal only, with delay, reverb, modulation, tremolo, flanger and phaser among its 14 effects.
What's in the box?
The pedal and a printed quick start guide. A power supply is not listed as included, so plan on a standard 9V pedal supply.

At Sweetwater, for $155.50, as of our latest check.
