Walrus Audio's Polychrome flanger is a uniquely colourful pedal that can enhance your guitar parts with inspiring, modulated textures. Boasting an analogue design — capturing the spirit of vintage '70s and '80s flangers — you can easily dial in a wealth of lush tones via the D-F-V (Dry, Flange, Vibrato) blend knob and tactile voice switches.

Key Features

  • Analogue circuitry provides pristine flanger tones that can embellish any guitar part!
  • Blend in dry signal with the D-F-V knob (Dry, Flange and Vibrato).
  • Voice switch offers two different styles of flange (traditional/complex and notched).
  • Select between 3 LFO shapes: sine, triangle or random.
  • From full-dry, to traditional-flange, to full-pitch-vibrato.
  • Rate knob sets LFO from super-slow 0.1 Hz to 8Hz (with rate LED to preview LFO speed).
  • Depth control determines width of filter sweep.
  • Sweep knob shifts frequency range, from deep flange to tight and traditional-tones.
  • Feedback control to set subtle or more dramatic flanging effects.
  • Smart momentary bypass switch (when the bypass switch is in the off position, press and hold to temporarily activate the effect; releasing the switch turns the effect off).
  • Top-mounted jacks allows you to maximise the space on your pedalboard.

Specifications

  • True Bypass: Yes
  • Power: 9V DC (Center Negative)
  • Current Draw: 100mA (Minimum)

Flanging mixes the dry signal with a very short delay whose time is continuously modulated. The paths reinforce and cancel at regularly spaced frequencies, producing a moving comb-filter sweep with a hollow, metallic or jet-like character. Rate and depth set the motion, while feedback sharpens the notches and can push the effect towards resonant, self-oscillating textures.

Analogue

The signal is shaped by continuously varying electronic circuitry rather than being converted into a digital effect algorithm. Component choice, operating voltage and circuit tolerances influence headroom, noise, clipping texture and the small variations in response between designs.

Vocal

Designed for microphone-level signals and the frequency, dynamics and feedback behaviour of the human voice. Input gain, balanced connections, phantom power and pitch tracking may be provided so effects respond correctly before the signal reaches a mixer or PA.
