Maybe they thought people would automatically pronounce it "muggerfugger", like the word "melonfarmer"[1].

I've heard it should be pronounced Mogue, but then they go and bring out a Moogerfooger! ...surely that's designed to be said 'Moo' and 'Foo'? Bob Moog was on record as saying his name rhymed with vogue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chienmortbb Posted November 26 Share Posted November 26 It is of course Flanger with the G sounding like Garage (the real way not the posh way) or Farage (the real way not the poncy way). PEDANT ALERT. Of course Flanger is the US word, over here in Blighty it was called Phasing, as used on Itchycoo Park and several Beatles Tracks. Phasing ( or more properly Out of Phasing) properly describes the effect while Flanging is shorthand for how it was done back in the day.

Beedster Posted November 26 Share Posted November 26 When in the US I rhyme it with manger, as in ‘away in a….’ In France I rhyme it with manger as in ‘Pret a…’ In the UK I rhyme it with hanger as do all proper English speakingers 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, flanging isn't the same as phasing, it's more closely allied to chorus. https://producerhive.com/ask-the-hive/chorus-vs-flanger-vs-phaser/ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phasing ( or more properly Out of Phasing) properly describes the effect while Flanging is shorthand for how it was done back in the day. In pedal terms, flanging is done by time shifting one copy of the signal, phasing is done by applying a frequency dependent phase shift to one copy. Flanging sounds much more in your face as a harsh shifting comb filter across the whole range of frequencies, while phasing tends to more smoothly accentuate/cut a broader band of frequencies.

BigRedX Posted November 27 Share Posted November 27 Flanging is also a lot more forgiving about the sweep time not being directly related to the tempo, whereas phasing nearly always sounds wrong unless it is synchronised to the tempo ideally with the high and low points of the sweep being at the start of a bar.
