JUNE-60 V2 - Official Product Video 

@ghost mall that there will be an v3 version too 😁😂

Right?!

Totally with you there. Slider switches could be put at the top of the pedal by the in/out jacks or recessed into the wooden cheeks.

If it had a name like "circus chorus" and Teenage Engineering made it, people would pay double the price and that without a chassis or panel. Then TE would sell the panel and plastic or rubber box for another 99€.

was literally scrolling down just to type the same exact comment..

now i see there are more than several other people who mentioned it lol

Its actually quite easy to mod it to have those switches from the top panel!

If you know what you want, then set and forget. I love the simplicity of the two buttons when I'm on stage.

I hate how these commercials are marketing bullshit, it's like, if its actually a good pedal I can use thats what I'll buy, cut the bullshit.

@@dankhill6851 Yeah, it "looks" retro-nice, so... ;)

Well, at least they fixed it.. and it now sounds good. Just a shame it's such a faff to change settings.

I'll wait for the v3

with talking all over it!

That's not the main enhancement and there will be plenty of reviews. This has new rate switches, stereo output capability, enhanced sound and new sound and buffer combinations (when I and II are both on or off).

Yeah as a knob-turning, noise-making enthusiast, this was the worst thing about this video. Otherwise from me, it's "shut up and take my money".

​@@tanguydelooz2881 Yep, the Guitar/Keys input selection is just one small aspect, was comparing v2 to v1 today and v2 just sounds a world apart, it's so so much better, and the stereo sounds amazing.

yeah it was smart because they knew synth players were already sold on it, based on their love for the original, and waiting for the slower lfo rates, while guitar players may be surprised to learn they prefer the slower rates as well.

Can you do a demo with it? I can't wait to hear how it sound since mine is still on the way

We made it more versatile by adding switches and extra modes... then made it less versatile by hiding them LOL

They want to torture us.

​@ghost mall _"Yeah, there’s no practical reason those settings couldn’t be made available on the top of the unit. My guess is cost"_ Yep, like you say, cost, the case is identical, putting the switches inside saves a load of retooling, they can just run existing stock cases . . . got v2 today, takes less than 60 seconds to open and switch, no awkward fits or difficult alignments, take the 4 little screws out and it almost comes apart in your hands by itself, click your switches and put the screws back in, it really was a lot easier and quicker than I thought it would be. I was going to mod it to bring the switches to the outside, but I'm not even sure I need to now.

​@ghost mall _"if they’ve solve the core problem which was the sound"_ I know this is subjective, but we know the sound of the v1, that's available for everyone to listen to online, I own a v1 and found it very underwhelming, not just as a Juno Chorus emulation, but even just as a standard chorus it wasn't too impressive . . . but to me the v2 sounds absolutely amazing, especially the stereo out, a hundred times better than the v1, keys sound amazing through it . . . it's so good (like I say, subjective, but to me...) that I doubt I'll ever use my v1, not that I really did anyway, so the poor old v1 is looking like it's going to be a donor case, I'll probably use it to drill and mod, and then fit the v2 guts into it with the speed and keys/guit switches on the outside . . . and still have the v2 case in new condition !

​@ghost mall _"...ended up selling it a couple months later because I just couldn’t vibe with the sound."_ Yeah, I only really kept it because I loved the look of it ! Looked cool, sounded crappy : )

We’ll send some out and let other people make that comparison for you ☺️👍🏻

Why, was there something wrong with it?

@@emdblues the v1 sounded absolutely nothing like a juno chorus. They just looked similar.

Go my v2 today, put it next the the v1, ran some keyboard and guitar through it, comparing it to my v1 . . . to my ears this is an amazing improvement, sounds sooooo much better, couldn't tell you how close it is the a real Juno Chorus (I've only got the TAL plugins which are pretty good), but it sounds so much better, the stereo sound is especially good.

@@davelordy Do you have a video?

Got my v2 today, sounds nothing like the v1, the v1 sounds sorta' dead or dull in comparison, they've done a lot more than sort out the speed, the stereo out sounds amazing, so much better than v1 !

@@davelordy I hope to get one asap.

That price is EX VAT and delivery. Real price is £59.

I'm already contacting my Sweetwater Rep. JOE, WHERE YOU AT?!

@@ewanstefani _"Real price is £59"_ Prices aren't real, prices are just a suggestion the retailer attempts to plant in your head, you can pay anything you like (as long as its at least the real price - or higher).

Do you know a true analog stereo chorus pedal currently in production that does not have the companders inside? I would like to get one.

@@fortheloveofnoise Sadly I don't. Although Oakley Sound (ie. me) do a DIY project called the DCR320 that can do what you want.

Past FX Boss CE -1 clone is pedal originally designed for keyboards and form what I understands rips the original Roland jazz chorus effect into the original CE1 past fx is super affordable clone based out of Australia

@@awogbob Past FX make some really cool pedals. I am keen to try all of them. Sadly, the CE-1, both the original and the clone, are not true stereo pedals. The left and right outputs are simply the wet and dry signals split up. Great effect though.

How would the original be true stereo when the synth was a mono signal going into it? The Juno chorus was stereo because the mod lfo was inverted on one side.

Well, you know, you could try out the dip switch before you strap your pedal down with velcro, cable ties and what not. But that's just me I guess...

​@@NielsBeier Oh, for sure. But pedals interact with other elements in the signal chain. So I usually want to hear it in context. And it can be kind of awkward to do. That's before we talk about wanting to change something when its already in place. It's just not the best UX for me. So internal dip switches wind up not getting used.

Not a big deal, the V1 setting sounds like poop, you’ll only ever set it to V2.

propably so they can release a v3 in 2 years

Same with the Paul Gilbert MojoMojo pedal that they released a video of, and it looks great and I want to buy it but…. No sign of it in stock anywhere! So what’s the point of advertising it so early? Should be available to buy the day the video drops.

_"the only problem is that it is too fast"_ You can slow it down, search RU-vid for 'TC Electronic June-60 Chorus easy mod' [EDIT // my mistake, this mod just backs off the depth of the effect]

@@davelordy is it perhaps the one where you play with the internal trimmers? If so is just a waste of time since the trimmers mostly play a role on the depth, so if you feel the rate has been slowed down is because the depth is decreased; and imo the beauty of this pedal is its thickness/depth.

@@lovecraftmusic8717 _"is it perhaps the one where you play with the internal trimmers?"_ Yeah, I only briefly watched it before, but just took another look and you're right it's not controlling the speed, just backing off the depth, so not really a solution.

Yeah V1 was a major disappointment.

There is no replacement for the original !

It's a fifty dollar chorus pedal, what do you think brother x

This and the v1 were both insert effects, as are all guitar pedals by nature.

@@eyeball226 I've read the only way to get a decent stereo image from the v1 was to use it as a send effect. So, physically, it can be used as an insert effect, but it was supposed to be even more disappointing, used that way.

That's already a thing; there's a new Paul Gilbert signature version of the Mojo Mojo coming out.

@@airyoucankiss666 it’s exactly the same pedal

@@tompoynton Doubt it but who knows. All the promo articles claim the circuits been tweaked from the original.

@@tompoynton Has an extra mode. Nothing mindblowing but not the same

@@tompoynton It isn't.

As with the original juno, off/off, off/on, on/off, and on/on.

@@saneneweyes6189 Did you watch the video? Clearly I’m talking about the internal switches. No amount of pressing the external buttons will let you access all the sounds.

@@RobertFisher1969 yes I did see the internal dip switches, and as synth player the first thing I'm going to do once i get one is open it up and change the operating level. Yes, it's unfortunate that you can't change the rate without opening it; but you said 4 settings... and having 1 and 2 both pressed is a combination, meaning there is in fact "4 settings" , as you mentioned without opening it. Having both operations on or off, are technically different settings. What I plan on doing is figuring out which operation, for my signal flow, sounds better "fast" or "slow" and if both of them are different, having both operations with different rates, when both are enabled it will appear as a different rate or tone between both operations equalizing, meaning it is actually more versatile than the chorus effect on the original roland juno-60. In my mind, I would think of it as a mod to what the original circuit would sound like.

@@saneneweyes6189 Sorry I was unclear. I expected “without opening it up” was sufficient to get the point across without having to explicitly state that I wasn’t including the on/on & off/off positions. I’m glad that you’re going to enjoy it. For me, it has me questioning not only this product but other TC products I’ve been considering.

@@RobertFisher1969 I totally understand your point. As a guitarist, I'm sure this is frustrating or, at the very least, suspect. And I would say there might be a quality issue between the modern "TC electronics" (now owned by inmusic / music group / music tribe) and the previous TC Helicon- which made (from my limited experience) solid products. As someone coming from the synth side of things, I'm always happy to see greater support for line level operations and I welcome that bit, with enthusiasm.... but it is unfortunate that the rate can't be knob-adjusted. I imagine between the two points (on the circuit board), it would be (relatively) easy to modify. There's just been a lot of hate of this particular product from the guitar community so I, as someone from the, I guess, "synth community", wanted to voice a counterpoint. From my perspective it's nice not to have to use either a DI-box or a phase-shifting level-matcher just as a go-between to use my EHX pedals, you know. Also always happy to pay less than a hundred dollars for true-analog circuitry (that isn't from a DIY kit or something you have to solder or wire yourself)

I see what you did... unfortunately this comment will age immediately and those watching this year's from now will be like "there wasn't a Roland juno-30"

Amen, brother!

_"Is the V2 now suddenly completely different?"_ Yes, it's sounds amazing, got my v2 today, I'm with you in that v1 not only sounded nothing like a Juno, but it didn't even pass as a decent chorus, but v2 sounds great, a massive improvement !

My thought exactly. Also, why not switches on the outside, for the options, instead of fiddly DIP switches, hidden inside? It all seems a bit half-assed, to me.

I mean just because the rate was off doesn't mean the circuitry wasn't faithful. But I mean, try to find a true analog box under 50, side from maybe the behringer vintage delay.

@limelight81 I haven't looked it up but intribe / uli behringer's bread and butter these days seems to be opening up old gear and faithfully recreating circuits. The schematics might not be on point but the output voltage, range and sound are always within the ballpark. Sometimes that's how they can get around copyright, by using different paths to produce the same (or very similar) out put- and if for good measure, they might tack on some extra functionality or mods in order to further protect them from copyright. On the synth side, often times it's just adding midi functionality, if the original unit was just voltage controlled. In the case of the juno-60, I think it's safe to say intribe has cracked one open and managed to accurately replicate it one way or another. I don't always agree with uli's business practices, but he's really done a great job putting classic previously unobtainable gear in the hands of broke assholes like myself. On the guitar side of things, a lot of people forget even boutique pedal companies will purchase bucket brigade chips from intribe, as they seem to be the only ones producing them currently, as the reticon and Panasonic ones seem to be more and more difficult to get a hold of.

Got my v2 today, you are going to be very happy, makes v1 sound like a crappy DIY chorus pedal, sounds so nice !

🤔

they already have a corona pedal that does that

@limelight81 actually it was made before behringer bought Tc. It’s a really nice pedal

you got a bad one. i have two of them. aend yours back.

@@jacobbrown1690 its the mini

yes

@@jacobbrown1690 indeed, designed by Sweetwater I believe

He accepted a position at Universal audio. He said in his Twitter it was a hard decision since he's been with TC for almost 2 decades but it was an opportunity he just could not pass on.

@@iann8733 oh really. Well, best luck to him then! Thank you for the information.

He’s doing great at UA, they’ve released some really amazing pedals recently. Definitely worth checking out.

@@yngwiescott I am aware of them. They all sound freaking incredible.

Wouldn't that be June 62?

Søren Mikkelsen nah, June 120

june-60 v2

You have to use a stereo cable.

@@Diax1324 whaa, pseudo-balanced TRS jack for more than one channel. What is this witchcraft you speak of :-p Also no stereo INs as far as I'm aware. Only out(s), but I could be wrong. I very well could be wrong

V1 was mono in and stereo out (via insert cable).. I'm guessing this will be the same

@@Wagoo yeah I figured as much but I didn't know if they are leaning hard into the line level application with pseudo-balanced jacks all around or not

... but was the 80's tone ever unpopular?

@@xiaoxia5 but now its magnified because of john mayers new album. Chorus pedals are sold out fast where i lived haha

@limelight81 haha, i was still living in the 80's musically when the 90's were happening. still am, actually.

separate LFO speeds on each side? (Left and Right)

yea

Agree 100%
