Electric Flange

Three classic flanger effect emulations – ‘Ambient’, ‘Vintage’ and ‘Wild’. During research of classic pedal flangers we found numerous LFO modulators and stereo splitting techniques. We implemented them all.

For classic deep flange set Stereo Split and Stereo Spread off, pick triangular modulation, Vintage type and adjust Depth and Regeneration. The Manual switch overrides the LFO, for manual flange sweeps, only found on few historic flangers.

The module is stereo in, stereo out (with software normalised mono input if the source is mono).

Stereo Split   Uses two separate LFO’s for left and right, creating an enhanced stereo image with left and right flanging in different directions. Can sound very ‘psychedelic’. Enhanced Stereo Split can reduce the intensity of the flange zone.

Stereo Spread   Creates an enhanced stereo image by offsetting left and right flange voices with dynamic delay. Can sound super wide stereo or phasey depending on programme. Enhanced Stereo Spread can reduce the intensity of the flange zone. With both Stereo Split and Spread off the stereo image is preserved. For classic deep traditional flange effect turn Stereo Split and Spread off.

LFO Type selector

Speed   Ranges from off to fast modulation. The LED goes red when in auto mode, green when in Manual mode.

Depth   Adjusts the flange zone depth. Min position operates in a tight flange zone. At max position the effect sweeps in and out of the flange zone creating a greater tonal change. High settings of Depth can sound extreme.

Regenerate   Produces feedback into the flanging delay line, making the flange more pronounced. Min position can result in no audible flange. Max position can sound too aggressive.

Emulation Types

Preset Name   is displayed on the lower ‘Dymo’ label tape strip. Touch and scroll using the TouchScreen encoder for live update. This is a way of live auditioning all library presets for this module (factory, user and USB). Settings are recalled live as you spin the rotary. For spot controlled changes to a particular preset use library recall.

Rack Send Name (input source) is displayed on the upper ‘Dymo’ label tape strip.
