Members bengerm77 Posted February 1, 2009 Members Share Posted February 1, 2009 I impluse bought an ibanez fl9 flanger the other day and it just came in the mail. I get regen, width, and speed knobs, but I'm not sure what delay time does. I was dicking around with it just now and I was twisting the knob and it didn't seem to make any audible difference to me. Share settings too. I want to use mine like (many of you won't get this) the flanger part on zyklon B movie from the Subhumans. Very sparing but powerful when I do use it. I'm not sure I needed a flanger in the first place, but god do I love getting stuff in the mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ming Chow Posted February 1, 2009 Members Share Posted February 1, 2009 Cool!!! I dont have the Ibanez, but I have a Choralflange and DEM. The Choralflange is for a light flange and I set, the DEM, for that heavy, jet sound. Depends on what I'm going after. I don't have them on the board at the same time either. Just mess around with it. I'm sure someone will pop in here with some settings. About not being sure if you need it? Well now if you ever do, you have one.

Members ambient Posted February 1, 2009 Members Share Posted February 1, 2009 flanger is fun. I like it as an alternative to chorus on cleans. Also, The Cure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members petejt Posted February 1, 2009 Members Share Posted February 1, 2009 Set the Speed quite low, say 9 o'clock. Set the Width quite high, say 4 o'clock. Set the Regeneration to 0. What you get is a chorus effect. Turn up the Delay Time to make it more chorusey. Turn up the Regeneration for the flanging, and you'll hear how the Delay Time affects it.

Members Carcinogen Posted February 1, 2009 Members Share Posted February 1, 2009 I've got an old Ibanez FLL. I honestly can't remember how I keep it set, the knobs got all set funky the other day when I sculpting one of my 'feedback sculptures', so I have no idea. I know I like it for a really subtle sound, though. Sometimes I can plug into my Superbass head and get a sound not unlike Adam Jones's tone in the Opiate days...

Members petejt Posted February 1, 2009 Members Share Posted February 1, 2009 I likes me some good modulation...tasty. I actually prefer using a flanger (especially) like the Deluxe Electric Mistress for chorused clean tones. Sounds sweet (in person) [YOUTUBE]NVLzf9xbxzM[/YOUTUBE] Excuse the muckups ........ I had a long day so was rushing things...... And the camera got too much direct sound so it distorted the audio, making it sound too harsh.

Members ambient Posted February 1, 2009 Members Share Posted February 1, 2009 :thu: I do sometimes like the chorus sound you can get from a flanger, but often when I want an effect just to give that 'movement' within my sound, I will use chorus but sometimes a non-inyourface flanger.Also when I want it to sound like (mostly on cleans) non-descript modulation, flanger is my go to effect. Set up with not so much of a distinguishable 'wooosh' but more just 'wet' with effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members petejt Posted February 1, 2009 Members Share Posted February 1, 2009 haha aussie accents sound wierd on tv/youtube. you playing in a band man? nice rig btw. I'm not in one at the moment unfortunately, I haven't got the time . At the moment I just jam with my housemate. He has a Fender Strat and a Marshall Valvestate head & cab and a Boss GT-5 & Crybaby wah-wah. He used to have a gigantic fridge-rig like Zachman. But my rig keeps growing and growing. This is actually almost my dream rig which is why it is so big. I probably wouldn't gig with all of it. My accent is actually a bit weak in that clip. It's usually a lot stronger.

Members ambient Posted February 1, 2009 Members Share Posted February 1, 2009 Yea but your in WA, its expected. I guess I find it funny as I'm a kiwi, but being here for nearly 2 years now, I'm picking it up. I am jealous of the fridge-like-zackman-style-rig-o-secks demo?

Members Instrospection Posted February 1, 2009 Members Share Posted February 1, 2009 I'm guessing that delay time can achieve chorus, flanger or phaser like effects. I have an MXR M-117R and the manual knob (probably their version of the delay knob, it effects the delay time of the signal) effects the frequencies and delay time of the effect. More delay time would be looser, more like a flanger; less delay time would be tighter like a chorus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jules-RM Posted February 1, 2009 Members Share Posted February 1, 2009 Usually if you dick with those trimpots it only makes things worse. Ack. I usually start with Flangers with every knob at noon, then dick around a little until I get a sound I like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jules-RM Posted February 1, 2009 Members Share Posted February 1, 2009 Whoa.....that must be a really important message because you said it three times! VERY IMPORTANT. Sometimes moving those pots even slightly can seriously screw with the pedal. Some have to send them back to the manufacturer just to fix it.
