TC Electronic announced the SCF Gold SE on June 16, 2022, a limited edition of the SCF Gold reissue of its Stereo Chorus Flanger. The pedal arrives in a refinished gold enclosure, and Guitar World reported that "spec-wise, everything is the same as the reissue"¹.

The SCF Gold SE carries the same bucket-brigade chorus and flanger circuits as the reissue, with pitch modulation as a third mode¹. The effect types are chosen with a three-way toggle switch, and the controls are dials for Speed, Width and Intensity, plus a mini-knob for input gain¹. The pedal runs in mono or stereo, takes a standard nine-volt pedalboard power supply, and has its jacks mounted on top of the enclosure¹. Guitar World listed the reissue's changes over the original as a lower noise floor, more headroom, improved dynamics, a brighter LED and a more user-friendly setup¹.

The SCF Gold SE is available now at $179 street, Guitar World reported¹. That is $30 more than the $149 price Premier Guitar gave for the SCF Gold in its review of the reissue². MusicRadar, reporting the reissue's launch in December 2021, gave its price as $199 street³.

The Stereo Chorus Flanger was TC Electronic's first product, and Premier Guitar noted that its fundamental architecture has remained essentially unchanged since 1976².
