Re: [motm] Flange Effects Units

2002-04-10 by Adam Schabtach

Flangers happen to be my favorite effect...

Tastes in flangers seem to vary. Some people like them sharp and metallic, other people (such as myself) like them smoother and swooshier. My all-time favorite is the MXR flanger/doubler, a 2U rack unit that uses an analog BBD chip for its delay element. I have two of them; you used to be able to find them for dirt-cheap before the \u201cvintage\u201d effects craze started happening. No, sorry, I won\u2019t part with either of them. :-)

If you\u2019re working in software, there are plenty of flanger plug-ins around. Usually they\u2019re bundled with your sequencer, but you ought to be able to find some freebies or shareware items. Try http://www.sharewaremusicmachine.com .

I don\u2019t want to abuse this forum to advertise my own interests, but I can\u2019t help but mention that I created a flanger plug-in modeled on my MXRs that\u2019s sold by a small but interesting company.

Hey MOTM'ers,

Can anyone recommend a nice unit to do flange effects? Rack mount, pedal or software plug-in.

Thanks!
