Thanks for the opportunity! I have never tried a flanger pedal so my flanger moments are about as limited as possible. Would love to try this out though. Good luck everyone!
Favourite flange application is shoegaze haze all the way! Some nice verb and fuzz in there for some wishy washy dreamlike noise. Chaotic good. PastFX lets go!
Favourite flanging moment has got to be Andy Summers of The Police in Walking On The Moon. That classic “is it a chorus or is it a flanger” sound that he gets is fantastic. Now I need to win the awesome Elastic Mattress by PastFX so I can recreate this iconic tone at home! 🙏🏻
My favourite flanger moment was seeing Paul Gilbert with Me Big playing his solo and hitting the foot switch of his modified ADA flanger. It almost knocked me off my feet! Awesome, deep, wide flange like waves of sound swelling over me and drawing me in.
A few flanger rock and metal oldies: Rush - The Spirit Of Radio Led Zeppelin - Nobody's Fault But Mine Queen - Keep Yourself Alive Van Halen - Unchained, And The Cradle Will Rock, Ain't Talkin' But Love The Eagles - Life In The Fast Lane Lenny Kravitz - Are You Gonna Go My Way Iron Maiden - The Number Of The Beast Pantera - Cowboys From Hell 🤙 #favouriteflangermoments
Smashing Pumpkins "LOVE" is how I imagine Flangers sound. I really thought I already commented earlier lol but the water sounds y'all get from this is inspiring. Always great work!
My favorite flange moments have to be when it first gets turned on during the palm muting in “unchained” by Van Halen and then all of the use in “Walking on the moon” from the Police.
My fave flanger moment is Brian May's intro to Keep Yourself Alive - sounds fantastic, and the perfect way to start a song (and Queen's career, actually)
Great video per usual….I like flange a lot, but rarely use it (seems I do for overdubs n studio tricks). Having the blend is a must cause I like it mixed in subtlety. Hope everyone is doing well; sending all my love!!!
Thx for doing a give-away with this awesome pedal! PastFX is a very good manufacturer. My favourite flanging effects are: 1) A more subtle effect (think The Police, think Cindy Lauper's Time after Time, ...). In this case I would use it as an always-on thing the whole song through. 2) A "watery" effect (fast rate, more colour/feedback) for dedicated parts in songs like an arpeggiated variation of the chords.
My favourite flanger moment is that Gilmour tone in the solos of Comfortably Numb and The Final Cut. The Elastic Mattress is the perfect pedal for that tone ;)
Great sounding flanger by PastEx! My favourites moments with this flanger is that it can be a flanger, chorus or phaser sounding pedal… especially a EHX style flanger. Alice In Chains - Rooster intro is just amazing sounding. Very versatile pedal. Great job!
Although I love Andy Summer's flanger tones, my favourite use of flanging is in "Tomorrow never knows" by the Beatles. It is the perfect effect for the song and really adds to the psychedelic sound of it. I surprisingly also very much loved when you guys paired the elastic mattress with the TD-Y in the filter matrix setting, it sounded absolutely killer. Great demo guys!
My favourite use of a flanger is the section before the solo in Are You Gonna Go My Way by Lenny Kravitz! if I’m ever playing about with a flanger sound, it’s the first thing I play.
I’ve had my eye on the Mattress after Bjorn from Gilmourish sang it’s praises. It seems to do EHX better than EHX currently does ( sorry guys!). I like all forms of flanging but my favourite settings are the more subtle swirly Gilmour effect. I would love to add this to my board! Just bought the TD-Y and I’m loving that. Keep up the good work Verlie! 😊
One of my favorite flanger tones is “When the World Is Running Down, You Make the Best of What’s Still Around” by The Police. Andy Summers chords are just so lush! Subtle and chorusy flanger, but so beautiful.
I am a pumpkins fan and am always chasing their tones. I love thier earlier stuff, and finding a flanger than can produce some of thier earlier tones is important to me. I had looked into a vintage 18v Electric Mistress, but those are a bit cost prohibitive. This looks like the best alternative right now.
I have the Chorus ensemble from pastfx… easily the best chorus/vibrato on the planet and such a great representation of the original. My favourite flanger sound is by Alex Lifeson of Rush, he was able to use it to add “depth” to his sound beyond what a chorus could do, and make it seem like his tone had many dimensions.
I really like flangers as a chorus alternative set subtly. A lot of Lifeson and Summers “chorus” sounds were the old non-Deluxe Electric Mistress. But I really love Lifeson’s early 80s use of the Electric Mistress into the CE-1, both on,
My favorite flanger moment is the very subtle use on Red Hot Chili Peppers' Give It Away (no pun intended lol), it gives the song just a little extra flavour which i think is great. This pedal would be great on my John Frusciante pedalboard with my PastFX Chorus Ensemble of course and the well known DS2 and Ibanez Wah.
I have two favourite Flanger songs. The first is ‘Charlie Don’t Surf’ from Sandinista by The Clash. It always makes me think of the helicopters in Apocalypse Now. The other is ‘Bedward The Flying Preacher’ by Singers and Players on Pay It All Back Vol 1. They literally flange everything and it’s simply the best story as told by the legendary Prince Far I.
Great video (as usual). My "favourite Flanger moment" is a bit more general, basically trying to make parts sound a bit "old and broken". But for a specific moment (that doesn't really fall into this category) would be Gilmour's work on the Final Cut (all over that record if I recall).
Favourite Flanging moment, I absolutely love JP's use in Nobody's fault but mine, but sadly and dorkily my favourite moment was as a teenager with my first Modulation effect (Rocktek Flanger) discovering I could make my guitar sound like a helicopter of sorts... I spent waaaaay to much time doing that.
holy crap! FINALLY a video where someone turns the range AND color knobs up at the same time. one might think the user manual warns against it for fear of the pedal blowing up or something. thank you guys for your nobel and unique bravery in this matter, it was quite elucidating. i thunked everyone was afraid of the range knob, and i was ready to smash my computer. (for posterity: 8:10 8:31 )
so many to choose from the drum roll in Itchy Coo Park. not a pedal or outboard in sight or all of A Forest by the Cure but my favorite - the last line of the chorus in Girls and Boys by Blur. no notes, all whoosing jet flange by my favorite guitarist
My favourite flanging moment is when John Frusciante used his Electric Mistress before the Can't Stop solo in Slane Castle, it got me confused at first on what effect was it :)
I like to crank the regen till its feeding back and adjust the time control to make a super in tour face siren sound. I also like cranking out the cure-esqe sounds
My favourite flanger moment is the whole Regatta De Blanc album! Amazing tones, I would love to pair this with an echoplex style pedal. My 2nd favourite would have to be Van Halen's Unchained!
Obviously the greatest use of a flanger was by Eddie Van Halen on Unchained. He of course used the MXR not the EHX, but still lol. And I feel like I need some of that Yamaha Revstar P90 goodness... sounds awesome, and the look is growing on me.
Fav flanger moment (not specifically an electric mistress) ...Trying to avoid the obvious like David Gilmour, Andy Summers, EVH & I'll even have to exclude Barracuda(😭) etc. So, I'm thinking: 'Endors Toi' (Tame Impala) 'Made of Stone' (Stone Roses) Billy Duffy (The Cult) 'She sells sanctuary' Smashing Pumpkins would need to play a few albums to pick a track. 'A Forest' (The Cure) & many others of theirs John McGeoch (Siouxsie and the Banshees) 'Israel' & plenty more. What am awesome yet underrated guitarist. There'd likely be no Johnny Marr without his inspiration & even John Frusciante cites him as a huge influence. Oh, that's probably enough from me...I can talk way more music than guitar. 🤔 🤣🤣🤣 Cheers all. 😎
I've never actually used a flanger ( I know... lol) but were I to win this one I think that alongside using it with my guitar I would try to use it for vocals as well, maybe as some weird kind of vocal chorus? I know it sounds weird but I like to experiment! Cheers from the US of A!
My favorite flanger moment is in the music "Beijo exagerado/ Todo Mundo Pastou", by Mutantes. Thia is a brazilian band from the 70s. Everybody should listen to then! They are great! The album "Tudo foi feito pelo sol" is a masterpiece!
Iconic main melody in Ashes to Ashes by David Bowie with Tony Visconti coproduction, used an acoustic piano through EHX Electric Mistress together with a slap bass guitar. The end result when processed sounds like a synth. Same EHX with a Steinway grand piano was used by Vangelis (who sadly died this week at age 79) in Memories of Green from dystopian Blade Runner soundtrack. Check the first 2 discs (original 1982. music) from 2007. 25th anniversary edition. A synth masterpiece. Flanger is also known as a Darth Vader sound effect! ✌️ #favouriteflangermoments
👍🏿🤘It seemed the take gain very well. Is that your experience chaps? If so, is that as a result of the 18v headroom? I’m currently using a Camoflange but it gets unpleasantly distorted with OD/Distortion running into it and am looking for a similarly vintage sounding flanger that takes gain better.
Big inspo's of mine who rock the flange have got to be Andy Summers & David Gilmour. The way they create such eargasmic sounds which partnered with their songs take you on a Journey and back, almost like you're on a boat saling though a lake, the ocean or freefalling in a void space surrounded by such feel projected by their work, makes them the best guitarist of all time 🎶
For me chorus for clean and flanger for distorted. This seems a cracking flanger but I love a nice melodic (all dials to about 10 o’clock) rather then a trip to wacky city 🤣. As always a great review and love the pedal has great range.
