SolidGoldFX Oblivion Quad Flange vs TC Electronic Stereo Chorus Flanger

The SolidGoldFX Oblivion Quad Flange and the TC Electronic Stereo Chorus Flanger are both pedals sharing shimmer, analog warmth, low gain.

Similarity
citedBlended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement. Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.

Description

The SolidGoldFX Oblivion is a deep, multi-mode analog-voiced flanger built around four independent delay lines, with tap tempo, multiple LFOs and CV control. Three flange modes, Classic with a momentary thru-zero effect, Dual, and Quad, span subtle classic flange and chorus-like shimmer up to massive swooshing tsunamis of swirling texture. Three selectable LFO waveforms, an analog dry blend, and a unique per-mode lo-fi Degrade setting unlock ring-mod-like and robotic overtones beyond normal flanging. A Blend control sweeps from light, polite chorus to a full-on whirlpool of flange, while expression and CV inputs, internal dip switches and a multi-function footswitch for tap tempo, speed ramping and LFO braking make it one of the most powerful and creative flangers available for experimental and modern players.

The TC Electronic Stereo Chorus Flanger (SCF) is an analog modulation pedal offering both chorus and flanger voices, widely regarded among the classic analog chorus circuits for its warm, natural character with clear, focused high-mid presence rather than the more washed, generic tone of typical chorus pedals. Its chorus is thick and lush without overwhelming the dry signal, capable of subtle shimmer, convincing 12-string-electric doubling, and trippy faux-rotary swirl that opens up dramatically in stereo. The flanger side ranges from a huge, jet-plane sweep down to a mild, gentle roar, with an intensity control that ramps up a hollow, metallic emphasis in the regeneration. A low noise floor keeps both effects clean even at higher settings.
