Looking to add the famous flanger pedal to your effects toolbox? Awesome! Let’s dive into some helpful information that will help you choose your ideal flanger.

Flanger pedals have a very distinctive sound and are incredibly versatile. Their versatility is based on the fact that they can sound like other types of effects, such as vibrato or chorus, and be analog or digital. But they’re commonly used for that swooping jet plane type of sound. They also can slightly delay the sound, altering the delay over time while you’re playing. This causes harmonics to phase cancel, creating the well-known sweeping sound. Regardless of the music you play, flangers will help you reshape your sound in complex, subtle ways.

What Are the Controls on Flanger Pedals?

Sweetwater carries a wide range of flangers. Most have four controls: rate, depth, resonance, and manual. Sometimes, these controls have different names, but their functions are exactly the same. Some pedals come with additional controls, such as a mode control. Let’s discuss what each does.

Rate speeds up or slows down the sweep. Depth highlights the sweep, making it more noticeable. Resonance controls how high the sweep goes. Manual controls where the sweep’s center is. Mode controls are used for different kinds of flanging, changing the characteristics of the sound; oftentimes, mode will be accessible via an onboard toggle button.

If you want your sound unaffected by the pedal whenever it’s not on, then look for true bypass flanger pedals. Tap tempo is another nice feature that helps you quickly dial in your tempo for the music you’re playing. Do you want to create the sound of a guitar playing in stereo? Take a close look at stereo flangers. These pedals can even drive two speakers at once!

Voicings are a matter of personal preference. If you love the classic, old-school flanger effects, then go for vintage-voiced pedals. For a more contemporary sound, modern-voiced flanger pedals provide the effects you’re looking for.
