A flanger is a very short delay line whose output is mixed back together with the original 
sound. Mixing the original and delayed signals results in multiple frequency cancella-
tions known as a comb filter. Since the flanger is a type of filter, it works best with 
harmonically rich sounds.

 

A low frequency oscillator is included to slowly change the delay time. This creates a 
rich, sweeping effect as the notches move up and down across the frequency range. The 
amount of feedback deepens the notches, intensifying the effect. You can invert the 
feedback signal by choosing a negative feedback value. Inverting the feedback signal 
creates peaks in the notch filter and deepens the effect.

Delay

Sets the initial delay of the flanger in 1/100th millisecond incre-
ments. This parameter allows you to “tune” the flanger to a specific 
frequency range. Range: .01ms to 4ms

Feedback

Controls how much signal is recirculated through the delay line 
and increases resonance. Negative values can produce intense 
flanging with some signals. Range 0% to 100%

LFO Rate 

Sets the speed of the flanger sweep. Range: .01 Hz to 10Hz

LFO Depth

Sets how much the LFO affects the delay time. Increases the 
animation and amount of the flanging effect. Range 0% to 100%

LFO Waveform

Selectable between Sine or Triangle wave.

LFO L/R Phase

Controls the stereo width by adjusting the phase difference 
between the left and right sweeps. Range: -180° to +180°
