The Mini SCF is NUX’s modern tribute to a beloved mid-’70s modulation pedal. To achieve the coveted analog effect generated by bucket brigade delay (BBD) chips, the team at NUX developed an advanced algorithm that faithfully mimics the essence of the BBD chips while keeping the Mini SCF an accessible effects pedal for all players. Packed full of shimmering goodness, this pedal delivers traditional chorus, pitch modulation (an effect that blends chorus and vibrato), and flanger, with Speed, Width, and Intensity control knobs, allowing you ultimate control over your chorus tone. Likewise, a footswitch with Smart Tap Tempo, true/buffer bypass options, and an analog dry signal that results in low noise and zero latency round out the Mini SCF. Given the features-to-size ratio, the NUX Mini SCF is a welcomed addition to the pedalboards of many Music Experience guitarists.
Chorus, Flanger, Pitch Modulation. These Deliver The Magic Swirls, Wobbling Wonders And Pure Shimmering Awesomeness Of The SCF That We Know And Love, Staying True – And Paying Tribute – To The Original. The mini SCF (SUPER CHORUS Flanger & Pitch Modulation) tributes to TC Electronic’s Stereo Chorus Flanger, one of the best modulation pedals ever made since 1976. NUX’s modern-tech DSP yields a perfect combination of both worlds: analog and digital. To achieve all of the objectives, our engineers had to develop an algorithm that mimics the principles of BBD chips – the key component of Analog Chorus effects. Quality-grade BBD chips in large mass have become incredibly rare, so this method is not practical for making an affordable analog chorus device.
Using DSP technology, NUX is able to offer a mini-pedal with a contrasting array of chorus tones. Besides that, mini SCF offers wider dynamic range, 9V DC power, smart tap tempo that innovates the origin and gives you more good vibes. Chorus: A chorus is basically a pitch generator which mixes multiple delay signals. When the multiple delay signals are mixed with the original signal, a soft and wide sounding modulation effect is created. P.M.: A combination of chorus and pitch vibrato which creates a “light” chorus sound. FLG: 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. Mini SCF offers True-bypass and Buffer-bypass (Trails), just hold the footswitch to boot-up the pedal (do not connect USB). The footswitch indicator will show you the bypass status. (While you boot-up the pedal, if the FS indicator flashes “Green”=BF, “Red”=TB.) Mini but mighty! It also supports Stereo input & output. (Use 1/4” TRS cable, and choose Stereo mode).
