Advanced Flanger
In addition to the parameters of the Classic
Flanger, the Advanced Flanger offers the
following settings:
Fla Dl – Flanger Delay
Range: 0 to 50 ms
Typically, Delay values around 5 ms are used
for Flanging effects, whereas Chorus effects
occur with Delay times around 10 ms. You are
free, however, to choose Delay times from 0 to
50 ms.
Gold – Golden Ratio
Settings: Off/On
TC research has shown that when the speed of
a modulation effect is increased, its depth
should be decreased accordingly to achieve the
same amount of perceived modulation. When
the Golden Ratio parameter is set to “On”, this
value is automatically calculated. Golden Ratio
is a feature inherited from the classic TC 2290
processor.
PhaRev – Phase Reverse
Settings: Off/On
Setting this parameter to “On” reverses the
phase of the processed signal in the right
channel. This gives a very wide Flange effect
and a less defined sound.
Through Zero Flanger –
Negative/Positive
The TZF Mode Flanger emulates the original
way of creating a flange effect where two
identical pieces of audio material were played
back simultaneously on two tape decks and
then mixed on a third deck. The flanging effect
was achieved by slowing down and speeding
up the two decks at different times. An essential
part of the special effect created this way is the
unique phase cancellation occurring when the
two signals pass each other in time (the zero
point). A conventional Flanger pedal/algorithm
tries to emulate this effect, but because the two
signals will never cross each other in time, until
now, phase cancellation wasn’t possible.
Parameters: For a TZF Flanger to be truly
"through-zero" the mix -setting must be
50/50%. Therefore the TZF Flanger has all the
same parameters as the Classic Flanger but no
adjustable Mix.
