We are proud to present Vortex Flanger, providing awesome flanger sounds, intuitive controls and instant satisfaction. With Vortex Flanger you are set for any situation that calls for some serious flanging, from subtle two-tape-machines-simultaneously to full-on 747-take-off sounds.

Connecting Input jacks - Use MONO for mono input and both MONO and STEREO if connecting a stereo source. If you run on battery we recommend removing the mono input jack to preserve battery power when you don’t play. Output jacks - connect to another pedal or directly into an amp or mixer. Use MONO for mono setups and both MONO and STEREO for stereo setups. Notice that it is possible to select between true bypass and buffered bypass mode via a dip switch located under the battery cover.
The controls FEEDBACK Use the FEEDBACK knob to control the amount of feedback of the short modulated delay that causes the Flanging effect. Turn the knob counter-clockwise to get negative feedback and clockwise to get positive feedback. Where the positive range gives a traditional studio-type feedback the negative range gives more extreme and “tube-like” sound. Try them out! 12 o’clock position is neutral = no feedback.
FLANGER TYPE Selector: Switch between standard Flange, Tape type and TonePrint FLANGE The characteristic “flanging” sound occurs when a pitch-modulated part of the signal is slightly delayed and fed back to the input of the effect algorithm. Experiment with the Feedback parameter to get an idea of the effects you can achieve.
TonePrint Consider the knobs and switches on your pedal as a few handles that actually controls a large number of parameters. TC Electronic staff has defined the controls, - but wouldn’t it just be cool to let the world’s leading guitar players contribute with their own definition of how the controls should work? YES - this is TonePrint. We allow top guitar players to dig out the pedals hidden tonal potential, re-define the controls and make their own TonePrints.
Bypass modes and Kill-Dry on/off Unscrew the back-plate and look for the two small dip-switches in the upper left corner. The upper dip-switch (closest to the DC 9V in connection), switches between True Bypass mode (default) and Buffered Bypass mode. True Bypass Buffered Bypass Kill-Dry - off Kill-Dry - on True Bypass – is a hardwire bypass that gives absolutely no coloration of tone when the pedal is bypassed.
will most likely be to activate the buffer in the first and last pedal in the signal chain. Can you hear the difference between a pedal in True Bypass or Buffered Bypass? Maybe, maybe not, – many factors apply. Active/passive pick-ups, single coil/humbucker, cable quality, amp impedance and more. We cannot give a single ultimate answer.
