TC Electronics SCF+

[Giorfida]

Schematics are everywhere on the web now. Original had a built in power supply, but I imagine a charge pump could be used instead.

I notice that TC make a big deal out of the fact it has no noise. Pfft! I have made many, many pedals which made no noise whatsoever.

To be fair, most of what was coming out in the 80s had a pretty bad noise floor

SCF is the model name for their Stereo Chorus/Flanger pedal from the 80s. It was rather groundbreaking in that it was an analog pedal that had the noise floor and frequency response of a rackmount digital chorus… but all analog.
Probably the most famous user was Eric Johnson during his “Ah Via Musicom” era. The rackmount dual version of this was a staple in the racks of many touring musicians, but most notably in studio aces Michael Landau, Steve Lukather and Dann Huff’s racks.
Tons of demos on YouTube of it

Well in this case it really meant "Fixed Your OP" (original post).

FYP is common short-hand for "fixed your post" on most all chat sites, from forums about anarchy to forums about Z-axis.


OH, and there's a thread for the SCF here, definitely upvote it.

Thank you! Got it now.
Will definitely be more verbose in future requests. Was trying to be more concise as I get told all the time I’m too “windy” in my posts lol.

It's all good, Giorfida. You do you, I do me, everybody here does there own thing and we all get along (mostly) and there can be a bit (a lot) of teasing.

I really want to build this thing so I think it'd be good to consolidate this thread with the other SCF Wish List entry because MOAR UPVOTAGES!



As for "windy", I could be an airbag for a 767...


DON'T get me started on side-jacks vs TOP-JACKS!

Or you could do like I did when I was playing bar jobs. Hardwired all of my pedals together after fighting bad jacks/patch cables one too many times!

Link's safe for work, for now.
