The TC Electronic Stereo Chorus, Pitch Modulator, and Flanger (SCF) has been one of the benchmark analog stereo chorus pedals throughout history - being used by some of the most legendary guitarists from Eric Johnson, to Larry Carlton, and Joe Bonamassa for its lush and subtle modulation. However, for almost a decade, this iconic pedal had been discontinued because of the difficulty to source and produce this product the proper BBD chips for its signature sound. Luckily, TC revived this gem , and even made some improvements for today's pedalboards, such as changing the hardwired AC plug to a more standard 9VDC power input.
Today we'll compare my vintage TC SCF to the Reissue SCF and see if this new and improved pedal can hold up to the vintage classic we all know and love.
