The FlangerHand plug-in is based on the idea of the early flanging effect realised on a setup of up to 4 tape machines (1 source, 3 recorders) in the ’60s. The playback-head output from two recorders was mixed together onto a third recorder. The “flange” effect originated when an engineer would literally put a finger on the flange, or rim of one of the tape reels so that the machine was slowed down, slipping out of sync by tiny degrees. A listener would hear a “drainpipe” sweeping effect as shifting sum-and-difference harmonics were created. When the operator removed his finger the tape sped up again, making the effect sweep back in the other direction.

We could think about the Flanger effect as a more dramatic one than Chorus itself. The key to that is the addition of the feedback function that when pushed hard will add a more pronounced swirl with a metallic edge to the modulation effect that goes well on harmonically treble rich content sounds.

Apart from the typical Flanger sound, this unit could do (if programmed to) classic Chorus and Comb filter tones alike.

Featuring a selection of five different waveforms, (Sine, Tri, Saw, Square and Random) the first two Sine and triangular suited for the typical Flanger/Chorus modulated sound and the remaining three Saw, Square and Random more rhythmically content oriented.

Furthermore a wave invert and Phase adjust function is included to provide a more expansive sound.

The Flanger Box is fully automatable and has the ability to store 64 presets. It ships with a few already pre programmed ones that will show what its all about and may be the starting point to your individual creations.
