All Time Most Bestest Favoritest Flanger?

[jcpst]

Only a flanger can do flanging

A delay that can dial in sufficiently short repeats can flange. If flanger is king of modulation, delay is the deity of time-based effects.

As someone who has yet to dive into the flange hole, what are some flangers with extreme settings?

Also, not one has yet to mention the OG flanger

i mean if we want to start getting into diy of variable speed acetate disk recorders i guess we can

fuck yeah! now were talking.

Not a huge flanger user, but when I do, I do a Fraudhacker. BF-2, basically, made by Bean. It's not too fussy in its controls, but I like it that way.

Anyone built the Electric Druid Flangelicious and can comment on that? Demo video?

i want one and I will get one but I thougt I will never again build mod pedals because I have the Terrarium...

Old school Electric Mistress mark IV. They're kind of noisy with the AC cord power and take up real estate. The filter matrix switch is cool if you how to adjust it and by how hard you played. After that, probably the purple BOSS Flanger (BF-1?).

I have one somewhere, I’ll see if I can dig it out. It’s pretty awesome for such an easy build.

I’ve built both variants (4 knob and experimental versions). They’re quite different in how the LFOs operate and interesting in their own right. The 4 is more of a ‘traditional’ guitar pedal while the experimental version is more suited to modular synths, I’d say.

Best Flanger i've heard is AD/A Flanger clone from Lectric Fx. Far above all the classic flanger circuits, in my humble opinion.

I built the Xenotron, Lovetone "?" Flanger, and i think if we just consider the flanging sound, the A/DA is much better. Lovetone's circuit allows to do some interesting experiments but the modulation isn't as amazing as in the AD/A.

I also built the BF-2 Byzantium clone, Electric Druid's Flangelicious both versions, the Dandy Horse, EHX Echo Flanger clone, i own a BF-3, none of them are even close to the A/DA in terms of beauty of the flanging effect.

Both Flangelicious versions are interesting circuits.

Unfortunately the classic version is very noisy, there's a faucet/liquid type of background noises. Only way to get rid of it is to increase the signal volume going in the Flangelicious and turning it down after it, to change the signal/noise ratio.
On the other hand it has a singular and pleasing modulation texture and voice. In my opinion, it really could have been a great flanger, too bad it's so noisy. The signal/noise ratio fix might not work in some instances, when we are playing live for example.

The experimental version deserves its name : it's great to explore some possibilities from the circuit, but that's not the most suited flanger for the usual practical and musical applications. It's nice in a glitchy and singular way. In comparison it feels much easier to dial a good solid flanging effect with the classic version.

I turn my flanger off when I don't use it so it's really not that big of a deal.
