What flanger are you rockin'?

[lex666]

Still searching for that holy grail of flanger tones. Problem is, I'm not sure if one really exists. My taste in flangers seems to change from time to time. Flanging is one effect I always seem to buy for my rig.


Right now I'm rockin' the EHX Electric Mistress.

Re: What flanger are you rockin'?

Boss BF-2......simple and straight to the point! I've got it set up to provide a pretty ridiculous flange that sounds awesome, in my opinion! I don't want it to be subtle! I've had an MXR and an ADA in the past, keep coming back to this almost universally hated BOSS!

deluxe electric mistress. I'm kind of jonesing for a MXR right now to have in the arsenal.

Ibanez AF-2 Airplane Flanger. Almost traded it for an MXR but I just keep finding all kinds of cool new tones in it.

MXR newly fitted to my pedalboard. Will get its first rehearsal run out tomorrow evening.

MXR. Built like a Sherman tank

I'm also jonesing somewhat for an MXR M-117R; kinda kicking myself for passing up one recently that went for $80, but not sure how much I'd use it at the end of the day, as I don't really use much fx in general.

Favourite flanger I've ever had was the Boss BF-2. Nowadays I use the Line 6 M13, so I just use whatever model I like the best.

Re: What flanger are you rockin'?

None - however, seriously looking at:

Digitech X-series Turbo Flange - Because there is no ultimate flange tone. To me, it's an effetct, color. More colors is better. This has a few.

Boss BF-2 - See WahWah's reason. Classic is classic.

Ibanez CF-7 - For the Whacked mode. Plus chorus! Think about it.

ADA and Mistress are the go to's though in the big scheme of things.

MXR Micro Flange

Re: What flanger are you rockin'?

Boss BF-3. Gone is the annoying metallic sound that the BF-2 has. Sounds excellent running in stereo and...has tap tempo!

Hartman. It's a Mistress clone but better built and w/o the volume drop. Filter mode is not as intense as a Mistress but it doesn't matter too much as I don't really ever use it.

None.

I'm more of a phaser guy.

Re: What flanger are you rockin'?

I use an early 80's era Ibanez FL-9.

Yeah I want one of those evh too...even if just for the Unchained button.

The simple but great sounding MXR Micro Flange.

Re: What flanger are you rockin'?

I used to have a half dozen or more flangers and got out of using them however I did keep one...Deluxe Electric Mistress.

I love that flanger...I can get everything from a heavy chorus to a full on flanger not to mention the trademark EH madness from it.

Last year I did pickup a reissue Micro Flange in hopes of getting some of the MXR tones I used to have in my old AC powered MXR Flanger (that was stolen!:cussing and to my surprise it sounds very close!!!

Really I found the BF-3 more metallic then the BF-2 but has heaps of cool sounds the BF-2 doesnt have and is still a cool pedal.

Using a BF-2 mainly for a super chorusy kinda sound (low manual, medium to high depth, medium speed, no res) although the more jetplane metallic thing is cool.
