8 BLOCKS GUIDE

The sound of a Flanger can range from subtle chorusing, to swooshing jet plane, to robotic drainpipe. The

effect was intended to duplicate the sweeping comb-filter sound created when one of two tape decks playing

synchronized material is shifted out of time by pressing a finger on the “flange” of the tape reel (hence the term,

unless you ask George Martin).
Classic examples of tape flanging can be heard in “Itchycoo Park” by the Small Faces or "Listen to the Music" by

the Doobie Brothers. Pedal and rackmount Flangers appeared, simulating this effect, and have an amazing legacy

in their own right. “Unchained” by Van Halen, “The Spirit of Radio” by Rush, and “Barracuda” by Heart all feature

prominent flanger effects.
The flanger has many variants, but almost all of them have a “feedback” control (sometimes called “regeneration”

or “intensity”) which returns some of the output signal to the input and intensifies the characteristic “pitchy”

sweep. A flanger with feedback is a real attention-getter. With feedback reduced, a Flanger crosses over into

“Chorus” effects, as exemplified by Andy Summers signature use of the “Mistress” type flanger.

Type

– This control instantly sets other Flanger parameters for useful sound settings. Make a selection using

Value or NAV buttons with no need to press Enter. Types include: Digital Mono, Digital Stereo, Analog Mono,

Analog Stereo, Thru-Zero, Stereo Jet, Zero Flanger and Pop Flanger.

BASIC PAGE

Rate

– Controls the frequency of the Low Frequency Oscillator, which varies delay time to create the sweep.

Use low settings rate with high depths for slow-moving sounds. Increase the rate for vibrato effects. Set fully

counterclockwise to sync the Flanger LFO to global LFO1. When RATE is shown in parenthesis, it is being set

automatically by the TEMPO parameter (see below). Set the TEMPO to “NONE” for manual control.

Tempo

– Locks the flanger rate in rhythmic relation to the Tempo. For example, if the tempo is set to “1/4” and

the Tempo is 120 BPM, the rate will automatically be set to 2 Hz (BPM/60 = Hz). To ignore the Tempo set the

tempo control to NONE.

Delay

– Resonant flanging is created using a very short delay with feedback. This parameter adjusts the

minimum delay time from 0.01 to 10.00ms.

Depth

– Sets the depth of delay time modulation. Higher depths increase the amount of flanging as the resonant

frequency falls and rises. Depth adds to the Delay time, so you can precisely set the range of the effect by first

dialing in the sound with Depth at zero and then increasing depth until you hear the low range you want. It helps to

turn up feedback while you do this so you can focus on the pitch of the effect.
