name when studio personnel would touch the "flange" of a reel to reel tape deck, making a delay compared to a parallel / duplicate machine.
A flanger combines the original signal from the guitar with a delayed signal. You can click on the sound player above to hear an example of an electric guitar playing through the built in flanger effect on a Vox Valvetronix electric guitar amplifier.
Settings For Flanger Guitar Effects
Here are the typical controls found for the Flanger effect.
Flanger Speed controls how fast the delays occur or modulation speed.
Flanger Resonance adjusts the amount of resonance in the mix.
The most common flanger pedals are:
Boss makes the BF-3 Flanger
Digi-Tech makes a Stereo Flanger pedal called the Turbo-Flange
Line 6 Tone Core Liqua-Flange
Multi-Effects pedals and many amps have a flanger effect built in.
