TC Electronic SCF GOLD Special Edition SCF Stereo Chorus Flanger Pedal
This Special Edition of the revamped TC Electronic SCF GOLD pedal has a truly golden appearance. In fact, it will – quite literally – outshine any other pedal on your board. But amazing looks is just one aspect, let’s dive into how it actually sounds…
This Is Where It All Began. This Is Where It All Begins.
That was how the SCF was born all the way back in 1976, the rest is history. But hey! No one said the story was over. On the contrary, we’re adding to that history. In fact, it has come full circle and we’re really entering a new era of the SCF tales. Please meet SCF GOLD – a legendary pedal to be!
The Sound of Silence
Once the original SCF was launched and tons of guitarists had embraced it and included it in their rigs, the nickname for this marvellous modulation gem soon became “The Sound of Silence” due to its complete lack of… noise!
Well, we’re pleased to say that the reissued SCF GOLD version also remains absolutely true to its predecessor in terms of off-the-charts signal-to-noise ratio – unwanted noise is simply not an issue!
Triple Modulation Magic
Chorus. Flanger. Pitch Modulation. Three modes that deliver the magic swirls, wobbling wonders and pure shimmering awesomeness of the SCF that we know and love, staying true – and paying tribute – to the original. The very unit that has taken countless guitarists by surprise and blown away everything they thought they knew about modulation effects in a strum of a chord!
SCF GOLD’s Golden Entrance
We bumped up the analog preamp, which is the first stage your signal meets, to level gold! You now get even more headroom, as well as improved low frequency response. And one of the most noticeable benefits you will experience right out of the box is a huge dynamic range that makes your tone excel regardless of whether you’re softly fingerpicking or slamming a funky riff out.
Power the Way You Need It
One aspect of the original SCF that we felt we could improve on was how you power it. In fact, the original came with a hardwired power cable, and you’d need to consider that in your pedal board design. SCF GOLD Special Edition comes with a standard 9 V DC power socket ready for easy integration on modern pedal boards.
Whatever Your Output, Bring It On!
Some guitars have a hotter output than others, and most pedals just deal with that. SCF GOLD deals with it differently! With its dedicated INPUT GAIN and OVERLOAD indicator, you can set the input gain just right, making sure that you benefit from having the best signal to noise ratio in the pedal jungle – and maintain that extreme dynamic range.
Get Outta Here (in Two Ways)!
One of the things that (also) put the original SCF on the map was its dual output section. Sure, you could go out in mono, but if you really wanted to create spatial soundscapes that blew the collective mind of the audience, stereo was the only game in town. Today, it still is the way to create madly wide modulation mayhem. Trust us, it’s way more than twice as good!
