GazWills Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 (edited) I'm considering a flanger, but have a few specific requirements, so looking for some recommendations... On an album I recorded last year, we put all of the bass tracks through a flanger (outboard rack unit, I can't recall the name), and I was able to manually set the frequency. I want this, in a BOSS-sized, ideally 9v pedal. So what do folks recommend? I imagine this rules out the simple 2 knob flangers, as I'd need to reduce the width the zero so as to eliminate the sweep. Hopefully this makes sense! Something old or new, though I don't want to use a blender / loop pedal if it has crappy bypass, and I still want to retain the bass strongly (will I in fact need a blender for this, or are there flangers where you can blend in with the clean signal??) cheers Edited January 28, 2014 by GazWills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MoJo Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 TC Electronic Vortex Flanger. Very versatile. Check out the YouTube vids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleabag Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I suggest a NUX mod core - excellent pedal. Mine ( eventually 20 days later ) arrived from wherever they are ( China ? ) £22 free postage. Its also a phaser, chorus, trem, pan, rotary, U-vibe, vibrato. Ok, i dont use all those, ( Just flange and phase ) but when you consider just a flanger will cost maybe £25 ( 2nd hand ) and upwards, makes sense to get this and have the extra even if you dont use 'em Very versatile. Metal alround, not flimsy plastic, smooth knobs (ooer matron ) http://www.donnerdeal.com/nux-mod-core-guitar-effect-pedal-blue.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleabag Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Oh yeah, it takes a normal 9v boss supply too, and does stereo if you like that sort of thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jensenmann Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I´m using a TC electronic SCF since two decades in my live setup. Through the times I bought a few others which basically sit unused in the corner after a short honeymoon phase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakerster135 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Have you seen the Subdecay Starlight Quantum or DLX? Never tried one, but they look incredibly versatile and intriguing!... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazWills Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 BOSS BF-2 en route Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceBass3901 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 The BF-2 is a great pedal. It seems to be quite common that it has a 'noisy' filter though, so you can here the sweep when you are not playing. Just a heads up Enjoy!
