SCF. It’s an original. Even if it’s a reissue.

One of the first stereo Chorus, Flanger & Pitch shifters around. Contrary to what you might expect it does all these sounds very well. The chorus is bright and clear, even on a distorted guitar (unlike e.g. my Voodoo Lab Chorus). Sounds awesome. The pots have a good range and actually do something to tje sound. You turn a knob, sound changes. What more do you want? This is my default effect. It Flanges really well too. Again a clearly audible, crispy clear flange sound. Pots work well. Pitch shifting is my least favourite sound. Not because it doesn’t sound good, but because I don’t really have a use for it. All in all it does three things and does them very very well. No compromises on sound. Only on the shared pots: if you set them for Chorus and switch to Flanger, you might want to change the pots. But that’s minor inconvenience. It always sounds good, regardless of the pot settings you choose. The new one is even better as it can be 9Vdc powered. Mine is a ‘90ies unit with a fixed AC power cord.

sort of like an original clone theory in conception...

this has become my favorite chorus pedal.... all analog, it ahs some of the tone of a CE1, but it also has the feature set of the EHX clone theory... capable of andy summers 'flanger as a short chorus' type tones... excellent noise floor. True stereo in and out and an nput gain button to tailor it to line level gear as a synth or studio effect! Very musical. Can't recommend this highly enough. The reissue is indistinguishable from the originals. By the way, this was TC's first guitar effect as far as I know. They hit it right out of the park first try.

TC electronic SCF

Essentially, the SCF combines three effect types. All of them modulation effects: Chorus, Pitch Modulation and Flanger. Operation is simple as you simply flick a 3-way switch to choose the effect type you want. From then on, the three control knobs are the same regardless of the effect type you’ve selected.

I use it only as a stereo chorus on my small board. First, you have a SPEED knob that defines – well – the speed of the modulation going on. Second, you have a WIDTH knob, which is equivalent to the DEPTH knob on many other modulation pedals. Finally, you also get an INTENSITY knob that works a bit differently in each mode. For chorus it sets the wet/dry mix balance, for flanger it sets the feedback and in pitch modulation mode it increases the intensity of the effect amount gradually.

(Bass Review) you may want to check out the mxr bass chorus deluxe

i'd compare this to my mxr bass chorus deluxe and their both very simular.

get the tc electronic stereo chorus if you want a subtle chorus and pitch modulation. great natural tone, but more subtle than the mxr bass chorus.

the mxr bcd is just deluxe. you can set how dry or wet the signal is.

the size of the tc is slightly bigger. it's not a big difference. the tc stereo chorus can not be powered by a powet supply. it has a permanently plug built into it.

mxr definitely based the mxr bcd off the tc electronic stereo chorus. i'd suggest the mxr over the tc.

the mxr is smaller, can be powered by a 9v power supply, and it's dryer on the E string. overall a modern take on the tc electronic. also, their is the ebs unichorus studio version.

Fantastic chorus pedal!

Since listening to Eric Johnson as a kid and then Jamie West Oram recently, I wanted a chorus that had a little extra punch. I also love the organic flange sounds of the pedal. This pedal is the perfect chorus and there is a reason its on a lot of boards!
