I got every flanger pedal to see why no one cares about them

Flanger has always been my least favorite effect on harp -- so much that I haven't featured one on the channel in over two years. I got my hands on every flanger I could to find what I could possibly like about flangers and how to use out-of-the-box flanging techniques in a practical context. I was really surprised, and found some of my new favorite pedals in the process.
The real flangers were the friends we made along the way

Flangers will do chorus, and chorus has vibrato in it, and univibe is actually a phaser, but a phaser is not a univibe. -Josh Scott

[@HotStrange]

Flangers are so underrated and underused as an effect. You can really get into some crazy stuff if you find a good one. It’s a software one but BLEASS makes an amazing flanger that can do some insane stuff. Also that Moog jam was sick. I’d kill for a full song.

Great video! Thank you so much for sparing all the corny or naval gazing jokes that usually come with these videos.

Can't say enough. I will be back to this channel. Thank you.

Hey that’s me! I love hearing a favorite device in someone else’s hands and freshly enjoying the sound of it. Spectre sounds excellent too (that one changed my mind on flangers many years ago). And that Komo Rebi! Will have to give it a try. Another excellent video! I think my love of flanger is largely a cheat - with resonance turned down, flanger is much more chorus-like (and to my ears, better than chorus!)

[@Daniel_Delayne]

Slowdive's Souvlaki still surely the peak of atmospheric flangerism. It just sounds so natural and deep. And in the sleeve it says "mixed and flanged by Ed Butler and Slowdive". I don't know of other albums that are 'flanged'..

I love the educational/informative layout of this demo!! 😄 And I heavily relate to when you held up the BF-3 in the beginning. It was my 1st flanger. Simple but fantastic pedal. Also, love that you brought up the Aurelius. It’s brilliant set like a flanger.

[@markharwood7573]

I recently bought an MXR Micro Flanger. It's a treat. It doesn't make poorly robot noises & it doesn't brew coffee but what it does is sweet and musically useful.

[@erikavery1105]

My 1983 Ibanez FL9 Flanger is the second pedal I've ever owned...it still works! I also have an Original 1977/78 MXR M117 Flanger(in my JHS Board) and a tc electronic Vortex. I use a Boss BF-3 in my Bass Board. I can get nearly every sound I need out of 'em.

[@noyd4172]

Love this episode! I think flanger is always either caught in the middle of other effects, or too far outside many people's comfort zone; I've always struggled with it a little bit, but I think it's one of the effect categories where something can be good or bad or just not your speed and it's therefore worth it to actually sift through and find the one for you and stand by it. My personal fave harp sounds from this were the BF-2, Komorebi, and the BL-82 (which is like the best pedal in four categories in wasn't even made to be) but my favorite thing about flangers is the notch filter flanging creates and how much it can influence other effects which is why my favorite "flanging" effect is probably a really short digital delay that can really lean into its hollow sound because it doesn't have the lfo moving it around. What I'm saying is I listened to too much Foals in high school. Best moment for me (aside from the BF-3 forum slander) in this was hearing Joe's drums through flange; I find that with the wide frequency range, the atonal characteristics, and the rhythmic nature of drums really shows of modulation pedals in a way that something like a guitar or harp can't.

[@lexhitreset]

There's no such thing as to listening to too much Foals.

[@chrismuratore4451]

I love flange. Its such a beautiful effect. Brings so much atmosphere

[@natgrant1364]

I have an old Boss BF-2 I bought used back in the late '80s some time but I love the idea of that Nebulus because it has chorus and vibrato modes as well. I might look in to that one. Good video!

[@ras1988]

I have a Moog MF-108 cluster flux and it is outrageously flexible with negative and positive feedback and everything being controllable from CV. It is another flanger with selectable wave forms.

[@rockstarjazzcat]

A good flanger can be quite versatile. Listening in isolation is like viewing a splotch of paint. Context is everything.

[@Funkussionist]

Thank you for making this video. I had Boss BF3 on my board for many years but sold it because I couldn't get the stereo effect that I had in my head. Great to see there are more options. I will check them out.

[@ElmoRitter]

This confirmed that no amount of money or searching will make me like a flanger. Thank you for the saved efforts.

[@JustPlayItLoud]

Loved this one! Flanger is my favorite modulation effect by far. It takes some time to dial in sounds other than “I JUST BOUGHT MY FIRST FLANGER!!!1!” but it’s worth the time. I was already planning on buying an Oblivion, Pyramid, and the Komorebi before this video and this just reinforces it. Plus looking for a decent deal on a BF-2. I seem to have come down with flangitis

[@bonesnaps]

Those dip switches to automate certain knob functions is clever, wish we saw that more often.

[@erifkind]

For me, a flanger can be used to dial in a phaser, chorus, vibe, etc…. All the effects people ARE excited about 😂. But seriously they are really nice in their own right. I think an era of flange appreciation is clearly here.

[@djay6651]

I have a DOD FX-747 Supersonic Flange, but I have it set up to be more chorus adjacent. I recently picked up an Ibanez CF-7 Chorus/Flanger, where I can switch between the two. The setting I chose for chorus actually works best on the flanger setting.

[@iosifkalpaktsoglou2045]

The komorebi is by far the best flanger ever. Had sold my last flanger [ morley sapphire] in 1999 and never thought I d ever get one again. Here comes the komorebi. Amazing sounds, great versatility especially speed wise and the fact that it can be connected to other dreadbox effects in a modular synth way makes every other flanger obsolete. I use its lfo to control the filter in the disorder or use the envelope of the disorder to control the flangers rate with my dynamics. Top notch

[@josephwright5921]

Two songs with flanger that first grabbed my ears were “Life in the Fast Lane” by the Eagles, where they flange the vocals at one point, and The Cars song, “Just What I Needed.” They flange the percussion at the beginning for a great spacious effect, but I also think another flanger is used on the guitars.

[@terryschwimmbacher2314]

Flangers are awesome, they're super versatile if you take the time to really play around with them. I have an old Akai flanger that I use to create weird tremolo feedback squeals, just because I found out it could.

Emily. When you do the next flanger video, next week, because 9 more have already come out could you try chaining say 3 or 4 together.

the line6 modulation modeler mm-4 multi effect pedal has 2 flangers. the "analog" one i like a lot for its stereo effect and smooth sweep.

That Chase Bliss sounded really neat too. I was wanting to play with some Electro Harmonix electric mistress, or whatever else they have for that matter. happy trails. peace.

[@jamesbarels469]

I am rooting for more Dreadbox but CV modulation from some external sources. Adjusting the rate from a Chromatic module, or modular synth used for a lead line to give some wobble to the rate of the near Barberpole Flange effect the Komorebi can do, perhaps. Chiptune drums run through the Komorebi and use the LFO out to modulate the Treminator, or any other effect that can be modulated for a harp effects chain.

I built a flanger in high school and particularly I used a circuit design where an extra phase-shift stage was used to turn the mono guitar input into stereo. And that is the main reason I used it for. Making guitar stereo. and not so much for the trapped-in-a-dry shower effect.

[@randallhutchinson907]

I’m not finished watching the video yet, but I’m wondering if you guys are going to mention through-zero flanging. It’s super cool and super useful especially for synthesizers and drum machines. I love to double a drum track and put through-zero flagging on one of them. The Electro-Harmonix stereo electric mistress does it. You can basically tune the Flanger to a specific pitch and it gives it a very metallic sound.

[@qddk9545]

I have had quite a few flangers, starting with Boss BF-2, but also more exotic ones. I remember flanging from Small Faces Ichiko Park, and a few Hendrix songs, and that is the flanging that I still like. Today I have a MXR analog one.

[@SisterRose]

The one big omission for me and one I'd love to hear on Harp is the Electric Mistress. It's more Chorus-like than most Flangers, or at least can be used in place of one. I'm also in the position where I wasn't super into the airplane noises, but I fell in love with the Mistress. I had a Stereo Mistress - digital pedal with Chorus and Flanger, then the big Big Box Deluxe, and now I use a little Mooer Eleclady. Another type of Flanger that's kind of interesting is a Hi-Band flanger - I owned the Boss HF-2 for a while, it was a really nice tastey purplish pink and I kind of miss it for that reason. One of the pedals you demo'd probably has it as an option though - I'm not sure I'd keep one around as a dedicated pedal.

[@CantStopScreaming]

Agreed! The Electric Mistress can be a little noisy, but between the two modes you can find some pretty amazing sounds. There's a guy in eastern Europe who makes an exact copy of the original that he calls the Roxanne and I got one... it's pretty awesome, and cheaper than an original :)

[@n.s.3812]

Electric mistress has always been my go-to. It’s used by so many guitarists and on so many rock songs that I’ve never considered flanger to be an under-utilized effect. David Gilmour, for instance, has flanger (e-mistress) on a ton of his solos. The Mooer e-lady/elec-lady is a really good inexpensive clone for anyone looking. Other than that, I use my Strymon v2 deco - probably my favorite, (almost) always-on pedal now, which has a great flanger built in (only engaged when pedal is depressed, though, which has pros and cons)

[@rev.leonidasw.smiley6300]

I like flangers but I think that's the Metal-Zone of effects pedals since the sounds it produces can get really messy and obnoxious when you don't know what you're doing. As you said, when paired with other effects it can be beautiful. Flangers with univibes are like *chef kiss*.
