NPD: Flanger Hoax AKA: Big Box of WTF

So, this thing is **bleep** ridiculous. I've had it for an hour or two and Ive already got a couple sounds Im happy with. I stole some basic starting points from a youtube video and just started tweeking knobs and seeing how the controls interact. I don't know if I'll ever have an actual use for it, but its got a ton of stoner-time appeal.

Didn't know they were discontinued. I was just excited to see something decent come through the pawn shop. Generally that place is a graveyard of Starcasters and BC Rich abominations.

 

It is definitely entertaining, I still might have to get a simple chorus pedal to cover some basic sounds, but there are ton of options in the FH.

It sounds... like a lot of things. I bought it used, so I got no instructions and apart from the obvious stuff (Mod rate, blend ect) I have no idea what most of the controls do. So I checked a few youtube vids and wrangled some basic chorus, flange, phase and vibe sounds and started tweeking. I found a ton of good tones along those lines. I played around with the oscillation a bit last night too. **bleep** gets wierd. Good times.

 

It doesn't like being in the effects loop of my amp (seems to overload the input) but it sounds great out front. I haven't really noticed a big volume drop, or a bunch of noise, but I haven't been playing very loudly either, so we'll see how that works out this week at practice. The biggest problem that I have with it, from a functionality standpoint is that it doesn't have a foot controller option. I'd like to be able to save some presets. As it is, when find a sound I like, I snap a pic of the controls so that I have a reference point.

I don't think they're discontinued...They're still stocked on MF and other stores.

 

Definitely poke around this thread:

There are some awesome settings people have posted, and a cool little layout for writing presets on.
