How do you say flanger?

[Woodinblack]

Although a heavy flanger timed with the bar does sound pretty good - like the guitar in van halens 'Cradle will rock'

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.

 

Nah - that's exactly why phasers are so good.

I also like headless basses, prog and "too many strings" and will happily play Jean-Michel Jarre, Gojira and Barbara Thompson's Paraphernalia on the same playlist 🤷🏻.

I love Jarre. Have done since I was a kid and into keyboard playing. I finally got round to seeing him live at the O2 for his 10.10.10 concert. That'll stay with me for a long time.

Mostly unambiguous, but should it be Go Jira or Jo Jira? 😁

[StingRayBoy42]

I pronounce it 'Flanger' - never heard it pronounced 'Flanger' before.

[paul_5]

I don't pronounce it 'flanger' either, makes me sound like a bit of a twit.

 

I prefer phasers though, so it's not a word I use often.

Don't forget, it anglicises as 'godzilla'.

There's something wrong with mine (pics in post).

You say flanger, I say flanjer
You say flanjer and I say flanger
Flanger, flanjer, flanger, flanjer
Let's call the whole thing (a poncy phaser) off...

Bob Moog was on record as saying his name rhymed with vogue.

So “Mog-you” then?

It is of course Flanger with the G sounding like Garage (the real way not the posh way)

 

The first G or the second G?

It would be even more delirious, it would be "Flanjehrrr", with the stress on the last syllable, especially in Paris where it would even become "Flanjehrrreh". 🤦 

 

That's if they would even deign to speak to you... I had a Parisian girlfriend for a while, she would often never speak to me or acknowledge me, mmm.... now that I think about it, I wonder if it was me....

She can't speak a word of English.
