SA240 Mercury Flanger User’s Guide 14
Speed Knob
Controls the frequency of the LFO, which determines how fast the flanger effect is. The minimum
setting is 1 Hz (one LFO cycle per second) and the maximum setting is 10 Hz (ten LFO cycles per
second).
Resonance Knob
Sets the resonance of the peak/notch filters in the flanger effect. Subjectively, a higher resonance
will result in a more metallic, bell-like or chime-like sound, whereas a lower resonance will sound
more subdued.
Delay Knob
Sets the base delay time for the flanger effect. Lower delay times typically create a more pronounced
“whoosh” sound that is closer to the classic tape flanger sound, whereas longer delay times result in
a less pronounced flanger effect that can start to resemble a chorus effect.
Effect Switch
Selects between the three basic flanger effect types – Classic, Thru-Zero, or Shadow. These effects
are described in further detail in the Effect Types section.
LEDs
Engage / Bypass LED
The Engage / Bypass LED above the footswitch indicates if the flanger effect is active (lit green) or
bypassed (not lit).
When the user preset mode is enabled, the LED will turn red. See the Preset Storage and Recall
section for more information about user presets.
External Control LED
The small LED located between the Depth and Speed knobs is the External Control LED. When lit, it
indicates that external control mode (expression, hot hand, or MIDI) is active. For more information,
see the External Control section.
Footswitch
Enables or bypasses the flanger effect.
