Sign Up. Please wait So the Delay Time Lag of the wet signal behind the Dry signal is governed by the Manual control and is static. On most Flangers the shortest delay time possible is achieved with Manual set to maximum. The longest delay time is set with Manual set to Minimum. You should try it, with Depth at zero. Listen for the difference in sound between Manual at minimum and at maximum, and especially how the tone changes as you move it.

In some Flangers, with Manual at Zero, you can actually hear the separation between Dry and Wet, sounding like a slapback delay or doubling effect. What is causing that change in sound? Laws of physics. If you take two identical signals dry and wet , delay one of them slightly wet by just a few milliseconds, and play them back together, the two signals will interfere. So, when you play through a Flanger, all 3 a, b and c are constantly changing, and so is the interference pattern.

You also get a lot of higher frequencies, at lower volumes mixed in. These are known as Harmonics. The Comb Filter chops up the Harmonics, making some frequencies louder, and some frequencies quieter. But some narrow bands of frequencies get boosted Resonate to the volume of the fundamental or higher, and some frequencies disappear alltogether phase cancelled. Just to reiterate, those Resonant and Cancelled frequencies are changing constantly while you play.

This is the sound of a Flanger, compared to a Chorus. The resulting frequency "spectrum graph" looks like a common Hair Comb, with many Teeth and Gaps. Hence "Comb" Filter. So why is the Manual Control Important on a Flanger? Assuming Depth, Rate and Regen are all fixed at some random value, the Manual control will drastically change the Comb Filter pattern, and thus the sound or perceived "tone" of your Flanger.

The only exception to this, is if the Depth is at maximum, at which point the Manual will have no or negligible effect I will explain this later. You should also be aware generally, as you increase Depth, the effect of the Manual control will decrease. The Comb Filter is a natural phenomenon, and occurs the same way in every case regardless of Flanger Model or Brand at least for the sake of this thread.

In theory, you can use the Manual control to make Flanger Brand "A" sound like Flanger Brand "B", or at least, get as close an approximation as possible.

Messages Thanks so much for all of your threads providing insight on how flangers work. Thanks to your tips, flanger is quickly becoming my favorite effect.

Messages 1, I have a mooer e-lady on its way to me. Looking forward to playing with that. BeeBaa Member. Beydski said:. Jack DeVille Member. Messages 2, Tootone said:. Listen for the difference in sound between minimum and maximum, and especially how the tone changes as you move it.

ALSO- ahmeenm How is that Years of Production: - PhuzzphayzZ said:. You move and adjust a guitar tuning peg, clockwise and anticlockwise in smaller and smaller movements until the string is exactly "in tune" Likewise when tuning into a Radio Station. You are tuning an electrical circuit that is a very narrow "frequency band pass" filter.

When the frequency of that circuit is tuned to match the frequency of the radio station, all other stations and noise are filtered out i. And so you only hear the radio station. In truth there also needs to be some demodulation but you get the picture. The Manual control is changing the delay, and therefore the shape of the comb filter. What do you Tune the Manual to? Without an Oscilloscope and Frequency Spectrum Analyser, you have to rely on your ears. Best to just try it. May as well turn the Rate LFO to zero also.

Set the Manual control somewhere low Starting on the Bass open E, play every note chromatically all the way up to the highest E on the 1st String, 12th Fret. You will notice some notes you play "stand out" compared to other notes. Some notes may sound louder, squelchy, crunchy, hollow or just "muted".

These are notes that are coinciding with a "spike" or Resonant Peak Write down the notes that sound thin, hollow or muted. These are notes that are coinciding with a "gap" or Notch and are being phase cancelled to some extent.

Now, if you turn Manual to 12 Noon, and repeat the exercise, the same scenario will happen, EXCEPT the resonating and cancelling notes will be different. Repeat again with Manual set high, around 3 O'clock. What you may notice, is that with Manual set low Longer Delay there is generally more Resonance occurring amongst the Bass Notes wound strings.

Likewise, with Manual set high shorter delay , there is generally more Resonance amongst higher, Treble notes. In the higher registers, you may also notice the sound is reminiscent of a Phase Shifter pedal. Lets say a low D is resonating, it does not mean that D an octave or two octaves higher will also resonate.

It is all fairly random in appearance. But, it isn't random scientifically. Any two non-similar Flangers with the Manual set to exactly the same delay time, will cause resonance and cancellation on the same notes i. But, your guitar doesn't make sine waves.

With Flanger in Manual Mode, keep playing the open D and adjust the Manual control until you hear the D start to resonate. Leave the Manual control in that position. Turn up the Depth control exiting Manual mode. Set it to 11 Oclock. Set Rate to 12 noon, Resonance to 12 noon, and keep playing the Open D. You will notice that each time the LFO sweeps, it will sweep briefly past the Delay time you set with the Manual control, causing the D to resonate, momentarily.

It doesn't mean the D will resonate all the time, but at least you have set the delay in a range that will resonate the D at some point along the way. This, in a sense, is how you start to zero in or tune your flanger. If you listen to a recording you want to copy, and you know the chords or lead fills, you will hear certain notes resonate on the recording.

For arguments sake, lets say you here the Low F resonate, and you also hear the Eb 4th fret, 2nd String on the verse.
