CHORUS/FLANGER- TC ELECTRONIC SCF Gold ____NEW____ 1976 Classic returns

TC ELECTRONICS GOLD STEREO CHORUS FLANGER 
$150.00 USD
The 'NEW' is for the color a Ltd Ed in gold. I
t is otherwise the black one released 
in late December 2021. Yes it's another $30? for a gold paint job. WTF!
Back in 70's TC were mostly noted for their affordable studio rack mount gear. Dave Gilmour used most of it both in the studio and live. They decided to make 
the SCF a pedal version 1976. The new one is voiced to have 'that sound' but uses update parts. It has higher headroom and is quieter.
The layout is basically speed, depth and blend of you dry signal. A switch gives 
you the choice of Flanger, Chorus or Vibrato. A small knob sets your input to optimise your guitars input.
CONCLUSION
The Chorus and Flanger have the classic basic kind of sounds. The Vibrato is not like a single delay slapback which can be squeezed out of this kind of circuit but more of a light chorus sound. It is however very pleasant and could fatten a distorted tone. All the voices are dead clean and very full. Modern digital clarity with old tech analog warmth. 
I can not argue it. You get a lot of pedal for the price. Arguably you get two $75 pedals.
