New cheap TC pedals

Notable the dimension C clone is back, previously discontinued by Behringer but with mono output and true bypass

Right, I'd love to know what's different.

Interesting. Only got mono output, though. Wonder what its gut shot looks like.

oh wow, as much as i would like to do the aion build that TC version seems like a substantially easier option.  mono output does seem like a limitation but personally i wouldn't use stereo much

I'd be all over it if they had done stereo. But, I'm also a stereo snob now.

Cool. When are your stereo designs coming?

Someone on TGP said it best:

QuoteAm I seeing this correctly or did they copy one of the best stereo chorus units of all time and not make it stereo? (source) (https://www.thegearpage.net/board/index.php?threads/tc-electronic-3rd-dimension-chorus-boss-dc-2-clone.1880093/#post-25163399)

The DC-2's mono mode is nice, but stereo is something else entirely.

They had me until the "mono" part. I'd still love to have one though

Stereo is good:

Mono is bad:

I respectfully disagree with the previous poster's postulate that mono is bad.

I don't mind that the pedal is mono. I prefer not to use a stereo output of a pedal that only has mono input. I used a lot of loopers to put pedals into and I want to split my signal where I want it, not at the pedal itself. If it has stereo output it should have stereo input as well. Thankfully more and more pedals have this option. And kudos to their makers for it.

For recording, stereo is nice. For gigging ... I am too lazy to lug around two amps, and too snobby to play directly through the PA. For mono use, would the Dimension C still be worthwhile?

For the record, I only have one stereo output pedal (my Dimension-C), which I have only used as mono.

In mono, the Dimension-C has a certain quality that I can only explain as a refined, immediately-usable chorus sound.  Definitely worth it in my opinion.

AH didn't mean to imply mono was bad, just that as a pedal that originally was in stereo I'd want an option to run it in stereo if I so wished.

I wonder how difficult it would be to mod to stereo. Probably to much trouble, guess we'll have to wait and see.
