Features

• Depth controls the intensity of the effect. 100% adds the delayed signal to the dry signal. -100 % subtracts the dry signal from the delayed signal
• Three distinct flavours of flanging. Set the Mode switch for Shallow, Deep or Wide
• Manual control allows you to control the ‘comb’ effect by turning the Big Knob
• Oscillator drives the flanging at a user-defined rate
• Envelope Follower drives the flanging based on the signal’s amplitude
• Remote maps the flanging control to a mod wheel for tactile manipulation
• Bounce mimics the distinctive effect of the tape machine’s capstan motor “hunting” for its proper speed when the engineer's thumb was lifted from the tape reel flange
• “Side Chain” allows for triggering the Envelope Follower from any source in the mix for inter-track mingling
• Exercise total control of the Oscillator with Sync and Retrig
• Tame the intensity by removing low frequencies from the flanged signal with the Low Cut control
• Distinguishing Flanging from Phasing Since 1975
• Instant Flanger Ad 1975The method of tape flanging was originally achieved by playing back a track on two separate tape machines and using your thumb to apply pressure to the “tape flange” thereby slightly slowing down one of the machines. In the tape era, before the introduction of electronic effects devices, the terms “phasing” and “flanging” were used interchangeably. Then, in 1971, Eventide released the Instant Phaser which was based on analog filters rather than delay.
• When the Instant Flanger was released in 1975, the original hardware manual explained “Old model phasing units used analog circuitry to modify the frequency spectrum. Eventide’s Instant Flanger uses a true time delay circuit, producing many more nulls and thus a much deeper effect than previously available with an all-electronic unit.”
