TC Electronic has reissued the first effects pedal they ever made — the legendary Stereo Chorus Flanger! Introduced all the way back in 1976, the original SCF was adored for its rich, watery modulation sounds and low-noise design; enjoying an astounding 40 years of production. Now, the iconic stompbox is back and better than ever before to celebrate TC Electronic's 45th anniversary.

The new SCF Gold is faithful to the original; retaining the unique chassis design and, more crucially, the all-analogue BBD circuity that yields the crisp chorus and flavourful flanger tones that made the effects unit so famous. However, a number of improvements make this reissued version a much easier pedal to integrate into your setup — now boasting a standard 9V power input for use with most modern pedal power supplies!

Key Features

  • Legendary analogue modulation pedal with chorus, flange and pitch modes.
  • Original BBD (bucket-brigade device) circuit used by world-renowned artists.
  • Updated with a standard 9V DC power socket for convenient use with your pedalboard PSU.
  • High-fidelity analogue preamp with increased headroom and improved low-frequency response.
  • Adjustable input gain with clip indicator provides versatility for use with any instrument.
  • Mind-blowing signal-to-noise ratio. SCF is completely quiet in regards to unwanted noise!
  • Dual outputs split your signal, providing a huge stereo spread and unique spacial dimension.

Specifications

  • Power: Standard 9V DC, Center Negative (PSU not included)
  • Current Draw: 150 mA
  • Dimensions: 126 x 95 x 49 mm (5.0 x 3.7 x 1.9")
  • Weight: 0.34 kg / 0.75 lbs

TC Electronic

Founded in Denmark in 1976 by brothers Kim and John Rishoj, TC Electronic first made its mark with the Stereo Chorus Flanger (SCF), prized for its transparent modulation. The company later developed the TC 2290 digital delay, a landmark studio processor, and extended its guitar range with compact effects, loopers and TonePrint-enabled pedals. JustPedals listings include the MojoMojo overdrive, Dark Matter distortion, Spark Booster, Ditto X2 looper and Flashback Triple Delay. TC Electronic now covers guitar, bass and voice products, so compare the exact model’s stereo routing, presets and control method.

Chorus Pedals

Chorus mixes the dry signal with one or more short, continuously modulated delays. The small pitch and timing movement between the paths creates width, shimmer and the impression of several instruments playing together. Rate controls the modulation speed, depth controls its excursion, and delay or mix settings determine whether the result is subtle thickening, a liquid wobble or a broad stereo image.

Analogue

The signal is shaped by continuously varying electronic circuitry rather than being converted into a digital effect algorithm. Component choice, operating voltage and circuit tolerances influence headroom, noise, clipping texture and the small variations in response between designs.

Flanger

Combines the dry signal with a very short, modulated delay. Regularly spaced phase cancellations form a moving comb filter, while feedback intensifies the notches and resonance to produce anything from gentle motion to a metallic jet-like sweep.

Stereo

Processes, creates or passes two audio channels. True stereo preserves separate left and right inputs, while mono-to-stereo effects generate spatial differences internally; routing, phase behaviour and whether trails remain stereo determine the resulting image. Some outputs sum to mono when only one socket is connected, which can change level or modulation depth.
