The Flanger Hoax is one of the most powerful modulators ever!
From shimmering static and active phasing to
frequency-adjustable flanging, the Flanger Hoax gives you an exciting
new palette of textures to create with. Familiar and advanced modulation
controls and 3 outputs (direct, blended, effect) let you create endless
variations that will do everything from subtly shade to wildly animate
your music.
The Flanger Hoax is made up of 2 separate phaser
sections--the Fixed Phaser and Swept Phaser--and their associated delay
lines. The Fixed Phaser is similar to a traditional phaser, modulated by
a low-frequency sine wave called the Modulator. Each phaser circuit is
followed by its own analog delay line, each of which can also be
independently swept by the Modulator. Each phaser section can be
bypassed to access the delay lines without any phase shift. Feedback
control allows you to send the wet output of the pedal or the output of
the Swept Phaser back into the phaser circuits. 18V power supply
included.
Controls:BLEND knob:
Mixes between the effect and the dry signal. The counter-clockwise
position is all-dry, while the clockwise position is all effect. The
result of the BLEND Control goes out the BLENDED OUTPUT jack
DELAY MODE switch:
Selects between different phase shift combinations for the modulating
waveform that sweeps the Fixed Phaser Delay line and the Swept Phaser
Delay.
FEEDBACK knob: Sets the amount of signal that
is fed back into both phase shift circuits. The
counter-clocker-clockwise position gives you no feedback; the clockwise
position yields maximum feedback.
OFF toggle switch position: All Feedback is turned off, no matter where the FEEDBACK knob is set.
RATE knob: Sets the frequency of the sine wave Modulator. The available frequency range is from 0.07 Hz (14 Seconds) to 220 Hz.
SWPT toggle switch position: In the SWPT Position, the output of the Swept Phaser is fed back into Phaser circuits.
WET toggler switch position: In the WET position, the wet signal (which is at the EFFECT OUTPUT Jack) is fed back to the phaser circuits.
