TC Electronic SCF Stereo Chorus Flanger - Manual (Page 8)

14
There are four sound controls on the SCF:
INPUT GAIN, SPEED, WIDTH and INTENSITY
Setting Input Gain:
Using the TC SCF with an instrument…
When used with a guitar, bass or keyboard with normal output
volume and an amplifier with normal input volume the
INPUT GAIN should be turned fully counter clockwise.
(The signal will then have an unchanged level).
Or…using the TC SCF with a mixing console.
The AUX/EXT. EFFECTS SEND on the mixing console
should connect to the SCF input and drive with a 0dB signal
level. The INPUT GAIN on the TC SCF should be adjusted so
the LED lights on the peaks of the input signal only. The SCF
outputs should be connected to "LINE" input on a mix module
or the effects return module.

Note:
If both outputs are used for stereo, you must use a stereo
return on the mixing console. Do not mix the stereo outputs of
the TC SCF together! If you do, you will get no effect, as the
effects part of the signal is out of phase on the LEFT/RIGHT
OUTPUT.
SETTING SPEED AND WIDTH
The SPEED and the WIDTH should be regarded as a
set of controls rather than two individual. They both
influence the apparent degree of effect. A good
starting point when creating more "pleasant" sounds
in any of the 3 effect modes is to keep the controls
"generally opposite". Here is an example:
SPEED at ".2", WIDTH at "5" or
SPEED at "5", WIDTH at "1".
