It has two independent or syncronisable sides, each can do (from memory) phaser, chorus, trichorus, flanger, tremolo and vibrato.
You can combine them pretty much however you want - so one side at half the speed of the other, or both completely free. Lots of nice combinations, and you can save presets (though recalling them is a bit fiddlier).
When I first got it I had to spend some time getting to know it. Now I have a basic setting that can cover for a quick flange sound as well as chorus type effect on lead. Further twiddling gets an even greater combination of effects and depths.
I still have a chorus for the instant subtle effect on chords, but never found the need to replace the phaser I had over 30 years ago.
All is dependent on your setup and the material you regularly need to play.
A modded phase 45 with the univibe mod is also a nice sound.
For Harmonic Trem, the Surfy is the best I’ve heard. Cheap too if you buy the PCB and box it yourself. There’s a huge harmonic trem shootiut on youtube, and I think the Surfy wins it. Downside, unmodified the slowest speed is the same as a Fender brownface trem but not as slow as some might like.
The harmonic mode is stunning!!
Accept no substitutes!
This. Fantastic pedal.
Two concurrent choruses with the sweeps 180 degrees out of phase
You don't hear the sweep but it does something. Very weird and quite subtle
Edit: looks like the TC is down to £48 new now
this is interesting as an alternative ?
The DC2 doesn't have analog dry signal passthrough... because it's analog
I have a Source Audio Gemini Chorus; hook it up to your mobile and select a number of different chorus, phaser and flanger presets. You can select up to 6 presets at a time to use on the pedal. I was playing around with a vibra-trem based on a magnatone amp last night. Sounded glorious.
Cheapest I could find with delivery is GAK £29 https://www.gak.co.uk/en/tc-electronic-3rd-dimension-chorus-pedal/912502
