agoulding Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 (edited) After pissing around with some effects on my pod, coming across the flangers and phasers intrigued me a bit. This is because, I can't recall hearing any of these effects in bands i listen to and i would really like to know how you think you should use them - in a piece of music? or, why you use them in songs. Give me some ideas. Alex Edited February 22, 2009 by agoulding Quote
Rich Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 The first two that spring to mind are Phil Lynott using a phaser on Lizzy's 'Dancing In The Moonlight' and Anthony Jackson's classic flanged bass part on the O'Jays tune '(Working For) The Love Of Money'. Quote
YouMa Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 (edited) Subtle is the way to use these effects otherwise it just sounds weird. If used right it sounds like a filter sweep tracking along with your playing. I always find they tend to thin my sound out though. Edited February 22, 2009 by YouMa Quote

Perhaps he uses his CE-5 Chorus Ensemble as well, no body really knows for sure. There's definitely flanger in there though. Quote
51m0n Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Tons of 80's goth stuff. If you take a chorus and really pile on the delay you get well into flange territory, the Cure did this a bit, I'm pretty sure there was some of this on some Joy Division stuff too IIRC, but anyways, its good in small doses. Same the other way around a very subtle flange is effectively a chorus Phaser sounds 'kin massive if you use a boss Heavy Metal distortion before it, best with very legato stuff so you can clearly hear the sweep. Utterly exceptional with tapped chordal stuff... Quote
