The "_____" for people who don't like "_____" pedals thread

Some great stuff on here! For me, I"ve found the Old Blood Noise Endeavors Flat Light, as their marketing team has even said, is the flanger for people who don't like flangers.

I really don't. Phasers and Univibes are about the only LFO driven circuits I really mesh with. Though, I do enjoy some VB-2 style pitch vibrato from time to time

Dig it. I really like chorus (and pitch vibrato), but I've never felt like I could get phaser to work with my guitar stuff. I find pitch vibrato and phaser work well on bass though.

Do you not like the predictable, circular oscillation of chorus? What about flangers?

My answer is waaay too long so... tldr: cheese goes in my tummy not my ears. I'm a fancy boy and former angsty teenager.

I had no use for chorus or flanger sounds until @fig sent me the electric ladyland. I was raised in the 80s by classical musicians. They weren't fond of synthetic tones outside of Wendy Carlos or the big 60s rock acts Beatles, Floyd, etc...

Then I was a adolescent punk kid who threw hands with the goth kids occasionally. Not much chorus love there either. I think my social group as a whole just wasn't in to any of your typical heavy chorus using bands. It hits my ears as Phil Collins, even when Kurt Cobain uses it.

I am, however, in love the the viib which says to me that I don't like the warble of "out of tuneness." Ditch that dry signal and I'm all in. I spent 6 years focused heavily on ear training in private lessons. The goal was to never ever hear that sound because your intonation is immaculate. So there's that.

I'm guessing that the goth stuff you were into wasn't 'the post-punk leans goth' like siouxsie and the banshees?

I don't particularly go for any of the typical examples of chorus either. I definitely get your reasoning and can see how that wet/dry mix would be irritating to your ears.
