Too bad.  I like good noise in a flanger.  Digital flangers and
plugins sound too clean to me after growing up with an MXR stompbox
flanger.  Despite the fact that I have called the local airport noise
complaint line many times(*), I like the "jet flying overhead" affect
from the MXR.

Tom.

(*) Although not since 9/11.  The silence for a week or so afterwards,
broken only by the occaisional F-16 or whatever, was creepy.  I'm now
of the opinion that the "please pardon our noise, it's a sound of
freedom" signs seen around military bases would be more applicable to
commercial aircraft.
