Deluxe Electric Mistress XO Analog Flanger

The classic Deluxe Electric Mistress Flanger is available in a compact die-cast package with a number of enhancements to make the venerable analog pedal more user-friendly for today's pedalboard using players. The circuit remains true to its roots, but power is now supplied via a standard EHX9.6-200mA power supply which the pedal comes equipped with, or a 9 volt battery. True Bypass switching ensures maximum signal path integrity when the effect is switched off, and an LED has been added to indicate when the effect is engaged. The original Electric Mistress was introduced in 1976 and the Deluxe version followed two years later. Throughout its decades-long history, musicians have consistently been captivated by its rich, resonant flanging and unique Filter Matrix effect. In that mode the modulation waveform is disconnected from the flanger circuit, freezing the flanger and creating a matrix of filters. It enables a musician to achieve effects like the sound of chimes being played in unison with his or her instrument.

Neo Mistress Flanger

The new EHX NEO MISTRESS presents the lush flanging Electro-Harmonix is noted for. True to the classic Mistress, the Neo’s design adjusts the harmonic sweep to present the varied tonal density that flanging brings to musical performance. Manual filter matrix also included. Electro-Harmonix flanging takes advantage of the Feedback control to determine how much of the processed signal is fed back to the original. Always one of the sweetest modulations, the Neo Mistress presents professional flanging at a breakthrough cost.

Mini Deja’Vibe 2

Real Estate is precious, especially on your pedalboard, but the lush organic sounds of a perfect "vintage Univibe clone" are a necessity, and they are now attainable in a space no bigger than a standard wah wah pedal... the Mini-Deja'Vibe2, or MDV-2 for short. Vintage Cream powder coated finish with Oxblood lettering and a Blue LED that throbs to the beat of its asymmetrical rhythm. The Vintage Solution... with a True Bypass Twist: One of the cool things about a Vintage Univibe was that you turned it on simply by pushing forward on the treadle, which activated a momentary switch located in the heel of the foot controller... pretty nice because we usually use the slower speeds so there were no odd transition noises like you would get if you switched it on like a wah wah. Wah wah's (as you know) turn on with a toe-activated switch, which would sound odd on a Univibe clone because that position is the fastest speed. The problem was (on an old Univibe) all it did was turn on or off the light bulb on the PCB... it wasn't true Bypass and did not have a very transparent sound. Our Proprietary Heel-Activated system works perfectly, sounds fabulous, operates smoothly, and "defaults" to bypassed should your power supply fail or be disconnected... all ground covered ;) Lastly, some have expressed concern about not having super-slow speeds being that "true bypass" is activated when the treadle is in full heel position. NOT TO WORRY, I found a way around the problem by increasing the "value" of the dual speed pot from 100K to 150K and now there are slower speeds available than any other Univibe clone as well as the super fast speeds!

Sonicake

5th Dimension

Picture this: during one particular gig, you need a phaser for covering Pink Floyd's Breathe; then a chorus for playing the riff of The Police's Message In A Bottle; finally a flanger for rocking out the opening intro of RATM's Killing In The Name. Normally you would need 3 separate modulation pedals for all those 3 songs. But what if I let you know that there is an easier way to get the job done, with only 1 pedal, would you be interested? It is our latest efforts towards the digital modulation world--5th Dimension. SONICAKE 5th Dimension is an assembly of 11 most commonly requested digital modulation effects, adding multiple sonic dimensions to your tone, providing more possibilities for your tonal palate. It is more than straightforward to use, with a MIX knob controlling effects level; a DEPTH knob adjusting the effects depth; a RATE knob tweaking effects speed; a MODE selector choosing from those 11 effects. Those 11 effects all sound like serious deals to my ears. The tones will speak for themselves. The 11 effects are: 1) Phase 101, a crystal clear and bright phasing tone; 2) Jet Fln Br., a massive, jet-like flanger tone with plenty of feedback; 3) Jet Flane, a classic-sounding flanger effect; 4) Big Sky, vintage chorus sound inspired by the legendary solid state Jazz amplifier; 5) Stereo Chorus, a classic and lush chorus sound modulated by a triangle wave; 6) Liquid Trem, a bias tremolo sound inspired by the circuitry from a vintage tube amp; 7) Opto Trem, classic optical tremolo tone; 8) Roto 60, a vintage 4-stage phasing/rotary vibe effect; 9) Blue Vib, a natural and warm vibrato sound; 10) Cryin' Bot, a dynamic auto-wah envelope filter (DEPTH knob controlling filter frequency range); 11) Lofi, sample reducing effect (DEPTH knob controlling the downsampling rate, RATE knobs controlling the overall brightness).

Joyo Pedals

JF-07 Classic Flanger

JOYO Classic flanger might as well be called the "007" pedal because it's as stealthy and intriguing as agent Bond himself. The control layout is reminiscent of your manager at work, that one may go above most of your heads, unless you really have an eye for simile, word play or can think of a classic purple stomp box that brought this sound into everyone's practice spaces.

Wampler Pedals

Terraform

When Wampler decides to jump into the multiFX market, they do it in style. 11 custom designed effects blocks, from Flanger to Phaser, Chorus to U-Vibe, Harmonic Tremolo to Envelope Filter, you know everything about it is going to be perfect. In one incredibly small package, you can control any of the 8 presets via midi, you can assign an expression pedal to control ANY of the main five controls, you can run it in full glorious stereo or keep it in mono... you can even split that mono signal to route some effects to go before your drive pedals, or amp gain, and have the rest follow behind or in your effects loop! When you put the Terraform into your rig, you know that not only will you get that legendary Wampler tone, but you will get the most easy to use, hugely versatile and best sounding collection of modulations you could ever want!

Chase Bliss

Spectre Blue Knob Mod

It all started with an email. Well no, plural. Emails. Customers seemed to be loving Spectre except for the inherent background noise that it had. The emails were particularly compelling because it was clear that this was an effect that people wanted, they just could not handle the noise. As for me, my intention with Spectre was primarily with high gain applications (i.e. copious amounts of fuzz in front of it to accentuate the “through-zero” effect) the noise didn’t bother me in that context. What was sad, however, is that you could hear the potential of the pedal as a clean chorus or flange but the background hiss was a turnoff for many. I dug back in. Armed with more noise mitigation know-how due to the Tonal Recall design process, I was better equipped to wrestle it this time around. The biggest issue I had with my initial Spectre noise reduction experiments was that it always affected the “whale-like” regeneration in a way that was a deal-breaker for me. This leads me to the other big change in the “Blue Knob Mod” – the regeneration control. It was crazy. It was temperamental. Well it still sort of is, just better. It also had the propensity to have huge, deafening dynamic swings in the whale sounds or (perhaps more maddeningly) the whale would sometimes disappear. I wanted to fix that. I wanted the whale to be more consistent and reliable and less prone to mega loud, unpredictable shrieks. So, with some hard work, a little luck, (an excellent suggestion from my employee Zack in regards to regeneration path signal flow), I think this is a much better pedal than when it came out a year ago. We are not trying to make money off of the mod, and are offering to do it for existing Spectre users for our manufacturing cost ($25) as well as shipping. Lastly (and most importantly) I have to thank YOU (yes, you) for your excellent feedback and suggestions as I try to make the best products possible.

Oblivion - Quad Flanger

If you think you have Flangers all figured out and placed neatly in your little square genre-defined box, then get ready to have your world turned upside down by the OBLIVION QUAD FLANGER. An otherworldly vast sonic sea awaits you with this device, as every turn of a knob and flick of a switch unlocks mind-melting tones. From epically lush modulated movements to intense regenerating alien airwaves, lo-fi bit-crushed textural landscapes and much more, Oblivion is not here to capture a snapshot of the past, it’s here to open portals to the future! With the OBLIVION, you have the traditional Speed, Range and Regen controls, but where this pedal really shines is in the three distinct Flange modes available. We start with a classic Flanger and throw in Thru-Zero capabilities to pull you in and out of space. To push things a little bit further, we then came up with the Bi-Flange mode - offsetting a pair of modulating delay lines for even more sweeping movement. That sounded great, so we said “Let's do it! Carpe diem! You only live once… how about four delay lines?”. BOOM! The quad-flange mode adds those four (yes four!) independent delay lines for massive swooshing tsunamis of ominous textures. To make things even more interesting, each of these three Flangers have their respective Degrade modes, introducing a lo-fi element unique to this pedal that grants you access to eyebrow raising textures, reminiscent of ring mods or robotic overtones. Once all of that was accomplished we set out to cram in tons of flexibility for even more fine tuning. A Blend control helps to adjust your wet and dry mix for light and polite Chorus sounds or for a full-on swirling whirlpool of Flange. Expression and CV capabilities, with internal Dip Switches, add even more variation and control. Not to mention the multi-function foot switch capabilities for Tap Tempo, Speed Ramping and LFO Braking. With top-mounted jacks and soft touch, relay True Bypass switching, this pedal truly has it all. So, what are you waiting for? Jump on into the sea of the OBLIVION, where growing layers of waves filled with the push and pull of the tide are waiting to wash over you.

Akai Professional

Flanger

The Flanger from Akai is a guitar foot pedal that delivers the instantly recognizable swoosh sound of 80's hard rock. Four knobs provide all the control necessary to go from a mellow stir to an intense swirling maelstrom. The "Rate" knob sets how often the oscillation effect waveform repeats as well as the resulting pitch and depth of the signal. "Depth" sets the intensity of the flange effect. "Manual" and "Res" work in combination to both delay and increase the intensity of the overall effect. True-bypass switching is available for when the guitar signal needs to be unaffected. The pedal is housed in a heavy-duty polished stainless-steel chassis for rugged and reliable operation.
