SCF GOLD
Reissue SCF Stereo Chorus Flanger Pedal with
3 Modulation Modes, Analog BBD Circuit and Preamp

Introduction

3 types of stereo effects
The 3 kinds of effects are all stereo but can be used in mono as well. The effects are suitable for all-electric or electrified instruments and will in no way compromise the tonal quality
of the instrument.
Chorus
A chorus is basically a pitch generator that mixes multiple delay signals. When the multiple delay signals are mixed with the original signal, a soft and wide-sounding modulation effect is created.
Flanger
A flanger is based on the same principle as a chorus, although here the signal can be regenerated (like adding feedback on a delay) creating a more distinctive sounding effect.
Pitch Modulation
A combination of chorus and pitch vibrato creates a “light” chorus sound.
Real Stereo
When using stereo, the effect signals and the clean signal appear simultaneously on both sides. The effect signals are alternating phase reversed on left and right sides, creating a unique spatial dimension.

SCF GOLD Controls

Controls

SPEED – Controls the rate of sweep in a range from 1 sweep every 10 seconds to 10 sweeps each second (0.1 – 10 Hz). Slower Speed settings usually work well with higher Width settings, and faster speeds should use lower Width settings.
INTENSITY – The Intensity knob has 3 functions, one for each mode:
• In the Chorus mode, it blends between chorus and clean signal.
• In Flanger mode, it controls the strength of the comb filter phasing of the signal (like feedback on a delay).
• In Pitch Modulation mode, it blends chorus with vibrato.
MODE – Switches between the 3 modes of operation: Chorus, Pitch Modulation (P.M.), and Flanger.
WIDTH – Determines how wide of a modulation (sweep) is produced. Ranges are from 0 (no modulation) to 6 (max) on a relative scale.
INPUT GAIN – Controls the gain of the built-in preamplifier. Set fully counterclockwise for most situations.
OVERLOAD – Indicates when the SCF is close to being overloaded. Adjust for occasional peak indication.
INPUT – High impedance input. Connect your instrument here.
OUTPUT (MONO) – Outputs a monophonic effect signal, or if both outputs are used, the left channel of the stereo signal.
OUTPUT (STEREO) – Outputs the right channel of the stereo signal.
BYPASS – Press to engage or bypass the pedal.
POWER – Connect a standard 9 V / >150 mA power supply.
LED INDICATOR – Indicates the sweep rate (as set by Speed knob) with the effect on.
