TC Electronic's SCF Stereo Chorus Flanger is considered by many to be the Holy Grail of analog chorus guitar effects pedals. The SCF Gold is an electrifying reissue of this legendary stompbox with three modulation modes: chorus, pitch modulation, and flanger. All three effects are fueled by period-accurate bucket brigade circuitry for true-to-life retro-inspired tone. The SCF Gold offers extreme high fidelity, thanks to its built-in analog preamp, with adjustable input gain and a convenient overload LED. You also get dual outputs that deliver a massive stereo spread and unique dimensionality. Finally, the TC Electronic SCF Gold Stereo Chorus Flanger pedal comes equipped with a pedalboard-friendly 9-volt power socket, plus head-turning gold graphics.

What Does a Chorus Pedal Do?


Contains three ear-grabbing modulation effects





The SCF Gold is jam-packed with three mind-blowing stereo modulation effects. This stompbox's chorus is thick, lush, and gooey ? the basis for Eric Johnson's trademark clean tone. The pitch modulation setting yields a more subtle character that's ideal for adding girth and excitement to higher-gain tones. The SCF Gold's flanger mode is more subdued than your typical jet-plane sound, but a quick turn of the Intensity knob is still enough to unleash an ear-tickling, swirling cacophony of sound.





Legendary high-fidelity analog preamp





The original TC Electronic Stereo Chorus Flanger pedal was ahead of its time, delivering an ultra-high-fidelity sound that its high-dollar rackmount descendants failed to match. Armed with TC's fabled analog preamp, this reissue follows suit. The guitarists here at Sweetwater are blown away by the SCF Gold's near-endless headroom, colossal dynamic range, muscular low-frequency response, and whisper-quiet operation. You also get adjustable input gain with an overload indicator to ensure the best signal-to-noise ratio possible for your individual rig.





Includes player-requested updates





While the SCF Gold Stereo Chorus Flanger replicates its predecessor's analog modulation effects to a T, it also includes modern updates that contemporary guitarists are sure to appreciate. The original SCF featured a built-in power cord, which required a separate wall outlet. This reissue boasts a standard 9V DC power socket, which makes integrating it with your pedalboard a piece of cake.





Subtle shimmer to all-out warble





"This pedal was boutique before there was such a word and to this day is still a part of Eric Johnson's clean rhythm sound. Lots of great tones from subtle shimmer to all-out warble are easily found." ? Robert Williams, Sweetwater Sales Engineer
