(^112) Guitar Interactive Issue 66
Electronic first introduced 1210
Spatial Expander + Stereo Cho-
rus/Flanger in 1985. This powerful single
rack unit was based on the “DNA” of the
highly sought after Stereo Chorus/Flanger
pedal that was first released in 1976. The
unit featured two analogue chorus circuits
that could be linked to produce sumptu-
ous wide modulation effects. This unit,
along with the 2290 Delay, was incredibly
popular during the ’80s and adorned many
guitarists’ and studio racks, and can be
heard on countless classic recordings. Such
guitarists as Alex Lifeson, Andy Summers,
David Gilmour and Eric Clapton have all
used the 1210 to help craft their legendary
tones.
Recently TC Electronic released a stunning
update/reissue of the legendary 2290 delay,
and they have now added the legendary
1210 Spatial Expander to this line. As
with the 2290, the 1210 has been released
as part of TC’s revolutionary new hybrid
plug/hardware controller line, utilising
modern plugin technology with the famil-
iar feeling desktop controller.
The 1210 DT faithfully recreates the leg-
endary rich warm analogue spatial tones, as
well as capturing such details as the inac-
curacies of the original analogue circuitry.
The 1210 DT features two independent
chorus-flanger engines that will produce
organic width to your recordings. The unit
supports VST 2, VST 3, AAX and AU
plugin formats at 32 or 64 bit. The 1210
DT will work with all the major DAW’s
including Cubase, Nuendo, Logic and Pro
Tools. It can be used in either a mono or
stereo configuration. The 1210 DT has its
own on board mix controls, so it can be
used either as an insert, mixing the wet and
dry signals with in the plugin, or on an
auxiliary channel, with the mix level set to
100% wet, with the blending of wet and
dry signals achieved with in your DAW. »
