Flangers

New Guitar Day? Obsessed with tone? 10 on the volume dial not enough? Celestion vs. Electrovoice? Cum in, feel the noize.

Haha that's what I like about it. I don't ever want to hear the pedal. I just want it to lightly "enhance" the amp.

And here's some Flanger bollocks. I think it sounds pretty good. Certainly as I remember - I was worries it was gonna be total shite and even worse than the one I hated recently.

So - its not amazing. But not shite. I'll call that a win for 40 quid off eBay.

It sounds okay...with whatever that setting is. If you like it, then great. To me it has that metallic clunky warble that I'm trying to avoid in flangers.

Let's hear it with some chords and amp aggression.

Ok. I'll see if I get a chance this weekend. Thats on a pretty deep setting with a lot of feedback. It sounded pretty rough on the crunch channel.

IMO that's where most flangers fail badly. Most of them sound okay with some cleanish picking. No problem. But when you get dirty with them is when they turn to shit.
