“for clean sounds”
John’s clean chorus sound is legendary. Having used the SCF pedal for all chorusing duties ever since

Flanger
“for clean sounds”
ForthecleanVortexflangesound,Johnoptedforatypeofphasecancellationthatdoesn’tcompletely
cancel out, but sums the clean and effected signal into a warmer, swirly sound. John wanted this flange
soundtobeclosetoa“chorussy”type-sound.Recommendedsettings:Setallknobstothe12o’clock
