Flanger Pedals

Flanger pedals combine the dry signal with a very short, modulated delay and feedback, producing a moving comb-filter effect. Slow, shallow settings add width and a subtle sense of motion; greater depth, regeneration and resonance create the familiar jet-like sweep or metallic whoosh. Manual or centre-frequency controls can park the notches in one place for a more vocal texture, while stereo routing can exaggerate movement. Analogue bucket-brigade and digital designs differ in headroom, noise and available time range, so check the circuit and placement when stacking the pedal with distortion.

Tap Tempo

Measures repeated foot taps and converts their interval into an effect rate or delay time. Subdivisions translate that pulse into dotted, triplet or other rhythmic values, while averaging and range limits influence how quickly and accurately the tempo settles.
