Members cvogue Posted May 29, 2006 Members Share Posted May 29, 2006 Picked up a Line 6 Pod XT Live yesterday and have been fooling around with the "Jet Flange" effects setting. Dumb question: What kind of settings should be used to get the Van Halen "Unchained" or "Cradle Will Rock" kind of "whoosh" sounds? So far I get warbling and some subtle chorus like sounds... any help appreciated. The controls available are speed, depth, mix, feedback and manual (much like the MXR I think). Thanks for any insight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cvogue Posted May 29, 2006 Author Members Share Posted May 29, 2006 Bump... come on flanger guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members stereotypy Posted May 29, 2006 Members Share Posted May 29, 2006 try speed low and depth high. resonance.. well set to taste.. i'd say around half +/-. any other parameters?EDIT: just overflow the first post.. so for mix.. hm.. try ~ 70-80%.. should be like a blend knob. if oyu max that one you will have only the flanger sound. with a little of the original it is not so heavy sounding imo.feedback.. well. see it that way. if you strum a chord it regulates if it just flanges shortly or until the chord rang out. i'd say something about 30-50% should be enough because if this one is too high it can get too loud.. (can!)manual.. =resonance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members hbar Posted May 30, 2006 Members Share Posted May 30, 2006 I'd be willing to bet there are at least 100 such VH sounds in the tone library. Some of those people have uploaded some amazingly good tones. Check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Uma Floresta Posted May 30, 2006 Members Share Posted May 30, 2006 Yeah pretty much any flanger will get the whoosh sound with high depth and slow speed ... resonancy depends on the flanger, but set it just high enough so it doesn't sound metallic but still is pronounced.

Members cvogue Posted May 30, 2006 Author Members Share Posted May 30, 2006 Originally posted by pretaanluxis The Pod XT Live flanger doesn't have much depth imo Got it dialed in... Interestingly the "Jet" flanger doesn't do the jet plane whoosh much at all, but the "Expo Flanger" in the FX Junkie pack does it nicely! I tried one or two others that didn't do it as well either.
