The compact unit packs 16 studio-grade effects including TC's legendary reverbs into a straightforward interface that works in both live and studio settings.
TC Electronic has brought back the M100, a compact multi-effects processor that takes the company’s acclaimed studio algorithms and puts them in a straightforward box for players who want quality effects without the learning curve. Back in Australia after years away, the unit features 16 preset effects, including the reverbs and modulation algorithms that built TC’s reputation in professional studios.

The M100’s appeal lies in its simplicity. Rather than dealing with huge menus and parameter pages, it offers an intuitive selector for choosing between single effects or multi-effect combinations. Once you’ve picked your sound—whether it’s studio reverb, delay, chorus, flanger, phaser, rotary speaker, pitch shifter, or one of the multi-effect presets—the Parameter and Tap/Select controls give you direct access to the settings you’ll need. For delay and reverb, that means tap tempo is always within reach.
It operates in either mono or stereo mode, adapting to your setup rather than forcing you to work around its limitations. Inputs accept both balanced and unbalanced 1/4″ cables, while outputs use impedance-balanced 1/4″ TRS connectors. A stereo input level control with LED metering ensures you’re hitting the sweet spot for optimal signal integrity, which is particularly important when you’re stacking effects or running the M100 into a recording chain.
The M100 delivers the same algorithms that appear in TC’s higher-end units. The reverbs, in particular, are what the company is known for. They’re lush, transparent, and capable of sitting in a mix without muddying your signal. Modulation effects maintain clarity even at extreme settings, and the pitch shifter tracks accurately without the warbling that plagues cheaper units.
For players who find modern multi-effects units overwhelming or unnecessarily tedious and complex, the M100 offers a great alternative. As a bonus, it’s compact enough to fit into crowded pedalboards or studio racks. Its straightforward design means you’ll spend more time playing and less time programming.
