Phaser and Flanger (Purple) 171
Vibe Phaser
The Vibe Phaser is inspired by the famous Univibe
TM
effect. The Univibe
TM
is basically a phaser, but with an
asymmetrical modulation curve that stays up for quite a while, then bounces down very quickly; apart from that, it is
identical to the regular phaser. For the most authentic results, set the number of Phaser Stages to “4”.
Flanger
The Flanger effect shares the same heritage as the Phaser, and the resulting sound is somewhat related, too. We
therefore we put both in the same effect family, with color code magenta (purple). However, the Flanger is not based
on analog filter technology, but on very short bucket-brigade delays.
The parameter set for the flanger is almost the same as that of the phaser; only the parameters “Peak Spread” and
“Stages” are not available. Thanks to the overlapping parameter set, you can use TYPE to switch back and forth
between phasers and flangers without altering the basic parameter values.
✓ You can find a similar flanger, called Wah Flanger, in the group of Wah Effects that can be controlled by the Wah
Pedal.
Phaser Oneway & Flanger Oneway
While the regular Phaser and Flanger always modulate up and down, their “oneway” counterparts go either up or
down in an infinite helix. This behavior necessitates a bipolar “Rate” control: turn it to the right half to make the helix
go up, and to the left half to bring it down. At the middle position the motion will stop.
