TC Electronic Stereo Chorus Flanger

TC Electronic · pedal

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.
