I couldn't deal with the volume drop of my EHX Electric Mistress so ordered this new flanger, which is supposed to have a similar sound.
New Flanger Day
- Thread starter Mansonienne
- Start date
Let us know how it works - my old Arion finally died.
Time for some Unchained riffs!!!
Just took it for a quick spin- I like it! No volume drop, and seems to have a nice range of sounds.
Now I really need to spend some time getting to know my different pedals, dialing in tones. I have little patience for that, but need to learn. Am wondering if I really need my Tube Screamer or if my Blues Driver and RAT are enough...

The tube screamer will be milder. Here are some opinions.
Tube Screamer or RAT ?
What one do you like or use most ? It could be any version built by anyone....or similar circuit.

Flanger is probably the one effect I haven’t tried.
What’s a classic flanger song?

According to historian Mark Lewisohn, it was Lennon who first called the technique "flanging". Lennon asked George Martin to explain how ADT worked, and Martin answered with the nonsense explanation "Now listen, it's very simple. We take the original image and we split it through a double vibrocated sploshing flange with double negative feedback.” Lennon thought Martin was joking. Martin replied, "Well, let's flange it again and see.” From that point, when Lennon wanted ADT he would ask for his voice to be flanged, or call out for "Ken's flanger.”
The first stereo flanging is credited to producer Eddie Kramer, in the coda of Jimi Hendrix's "Bold as Love" (1967).

Huh, The Bold As Love part too? I thought that was phaser too, like some of the drum rolls in Led Zep’s Kashmir.
I had a friend who was a DJ, and he would play two records at the same time and you would get that same effect .
To me, flanger seems to make the sound slightly flat too with a more sweeping sound ( I guess according to the rate chosen)
I had a Boss flanger back in the ‘80’s , long gone ( I only bought it to replicate the intro in VH’s Hear About it Later, and hardly ever used it after!)

ELO also used a Systech flanger on the New World Record and Out Of The Blue albums in the seventies…
