Like....sort of like plunger? -> flanger?

 

 

also, I've been wanting to ask this one for a while:

how do you pronounce "tremolo"?

 

I've always said it like tr-mole-oh........but I've heard it tre-muh-lo...like it would rhyme with solo

Since it is named after a tape trick and a tape machine part called a flange, it's flan-jer.

 

 

Yeah. Specifically, running two analog tape decks at the same time, with the same signal coming in, onto tape, then out of them, and putting your fingers on the flange of one of the tape reels on one of the tape decks, causing a slight delay of the signal coming out of that deck, which creates the comb filter effect known as "flanging" when the two signals are combined.

OK, so we've determined how to pronounce flanger.


Let's move on to another "fun to play with, miserable to listen to" effect.


How do you pronounce "phaser"?


Is it "fazer"? Or is it "pee-hazer"?

 

It's "fay-zer".

 

"Pee-hazer"? That sounds like something a shot of penicillin would cure... ;)
