Members Switchblade327 Posted April 18, 2008 Members Share Posted April 18, 2008 I figured it was about time I made a thread and got yelled at for being a noob, so here goes: I'm wanting a flanger (call it GAS, but its something bad) for my setup. I have happened upon a Line 6 Liqu-flange on the ebays, which is going for a sight less than your usual fare. In tretrospect, I'm sure one of you ratbags is going to take it now, but anyway. Never had the oppurtunity to try said flange, so I need some opinions. Have tried a boss fl-3 and an ibanez fl-9, both of which have dissapointed hugely. Im after a nice 'big' sound (descriptive hey?) for use mainly in metal/rock, but Ill probably use it regardless of genre. Ive managed to get a really nice flange through the COSM effects on the Boss BR-1600, but i want it in stompbox form. tl:dr: Is a line 6 liqu-flange any good?

Members Jules-RM Posted April 18, 2008 Members Share Posted April 18, 2008 The regular MXR flanger is pretty much the same as the EVH, but cheaper and less lame looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the original MXR 117, but there wasn't a video demo of it, so I posted the one I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should NOT look into lots of gear, if such a short sighted BS, is how you really look at life-- as this comment could likely just be a troll fly-by comment. IMO, the comment above reveals nothing more than a lot of shortsightedness, on the part of it's poster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members slight-return Posted April 18, 2008 Members Share Posted April 18, 2008 Im after a nice 'big' sound (descriptive hey?) for use mainly in metal/rock, but Ill probably use it regardless of genre. hmm, well one option to get "big" (now I'm not sure if we're talking you want the flange intself to be "big" in terms of creating a flange effect with a sense of a good bit of spatial information...like with a "big stereo" type sound or "big" sound as in full timbre) or maybe, rather keep a big sound is to look at hi-band flanging a'la the Boss HF2 or bass flangers, etc. What basically goes on is that the signal is split via a cross over and only the upper frequencies get flanged. This keeps the lower frequencies from being "thinned out" by the comb filtering inherent in flanging, but still allows for swooshy woosh which slives up in the upper frequencies It can make the effect a little more subtle (tht's not a bad thing, and I don't mean it disappears), but leaves you a full bottom end (cue Sir mixalot) eh, just another thing to chec out (not familiar with the Boss 1600, so I cant comment on that sound specifically) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to combine flange with dirt, the MXR might be more to your liking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members HeartfeltDawn Posted April 18, 2008 Members Share Posted April 18, 2008 It was meant to be, to illustrate a point. The only point you proved is that you're too touchy and you reacted in a mindless way. The poster agreed with your suggestion regaridng the choice of flanger. You take it as as a sarcastic attack and attack him here: You should NOT look into lots of gear, if such a short sighted BS, is how you really look at life-- as this comment could likely just be a troll fly-by comment.IMO, the comment above reveals nothing more than a lot of shortsightedness, on the part of it's poster. BS... troll... calling a poster short-sighted.. and this is from someone who was agreeing with you. Apology, perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps, jury is still out. I still disagree that the MXR should be used just for metal/rock applications. You're right, I did take it as sarcastic, especially because he didn't make a suggestion there, just what appeared to me to be a comment- meant to disagree, with nothing to back up why. BTW, last I checked you're not the internet cop around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
