BOSS CE-2w vs TC.Electronics SCF Gold+ deeper Review (JX-8P+3P, Argon8X, Drumbrute & Zarenbourg) 

finally someone testing these on keys!! and it's synths i have!!!!

Nothing beats the og vintage analog modulation units. These sound alright though, and better than most plug-ins.

Good comparison for synths, thanks!

Very helpful comparison, thanks! In my opinion the TC Electronics suits my idea of wide stereo chorus on synth sound best.

Nice. A JX-8P and a JX-3P

This is a very informative review. I was looking for a chorus/flanger pedal for my analog synthesizer and saw some reviews but was having trouble finding videos of it being used on a synth. The SCF is probably the only stereo analog flanger pedal available new today, but all I could find were reviews about the chorus and one word "useless" for the flanger mode, so it was very helpful to hear it in use on a synth. I got a DC-2W, which is a reissue of the SDD-320 Dimension he apparently used, to sound like Ryuichi Sakamoto in the 80's, but got lost in the maze of flanger selection. Sakamoto used a Roland SBF-325, though it seems he always ran the Dimension and SBF through it when he played his Prophet-5. I got a strymon orbit, but it was not suitable for synth use because the highs were attenuated when the effect was turned on... I am about to try a BOSS BF-3, but the SCF flanger mode is worth considering... As for the chorus, the SCF seems to have a more honest and extended sound than the CE-2W, which is a preferable result. Some sources say Sakamoto used TC and MXR phasers and distortion. I wish there were more review videos like yours that let us hear the sound of a guitar pedal through a synth. There are new analog synths on the market with no effects, but the rack effects that used to come with the synths are extinct. Definitely, there is a magic that can't be created by plug-ins. thanks from japan.

I like the TC electronics … more options … hope it sounds great on a Ms20 or odyssey… I am planning to get one … thanks for sharing!

Awesome, thanks for the review! Tell me please where I can find/buy Zarenbourg Module?

Boss chorus is so nice n dirty so much character

The SCF chorus sounds better to me. It's higher-fidelity, cleaner sounding and less muddy, doesn't dull the high-end as much. The BOSS is lovely, but it kind of makes everything sound like an splodgey opaque wash in the midrange. The stereo effect of the SCF sounds wider too. The DC-2W has a lovely stereo effect, but it kills a lot of the bass, so I'd probably only use it on a high lead, in a mix.

Between a good vst Chorus plug-in and a pedal would you hear any difference?

v nice! whats the patch on the JX8P?

Hello, where did you find the Waldorf Zarenbourg module ??? It was never released.

Are we sposed to be testing for guitar

This is a _seriously_ flawed comparison. The CE-2w is NOT a stereo chorus!! when both outputs have plugs inserted the B output is the direct out signal and the A output is the 100% wet signal. In this test when the CE-2w is activated you're hearing a dry signal in one ear and the wet signal in the other. The TC Electronic is a "true" stereo chorus, on the other hand, which is why it sounds better in this comparison.
