Flanger Pedals, and Flange Guitar Effects Stomp Boxes

What does the Flanger Sound Like? The Flanger effect sounds almost like a plane takeoff. An example of a Flanger being used is on the Van Halen song Unchained. Eddie Van Halen uses a Flanger Effect throughout the beginning and the chorus of the song when he's playing the low E string.

What is the Flanger Effect? The Flanger Effect pedals try to copy the sound of a tape being slowed when recording by depressing something to the tape reel (Also known as a flange). The Chorus effects sounds similar to the Flanger, but the Flanger tends to be a more definitive type sound and not used quite as much as a chorus effect. Adjust the knobs on the pedal for more depth or more or less effect level. For the most part, Flanger effects tend to be used for a specific part of a song and not throughout the whole song.

How to Use a Flanger Effect Pedal? First, See How to Hook Up an Effects Pedal. When a song calls for a Flanger effect you will tap the Flanger stomp box to engage the effect. Hit the pedal again to disengage the Flange Effect. For example, If you would like a Flanger Effect on your guitar solo only.
