  1. 11:13LFO mode, setting rate and depth with the envelope switched off
  2. 11:48Envelope mode, where each pick stroke drives the sweep
  3. 13:52Analog against digital mode on an acoustic guitar
  4. 15:43Regeneration raised for the metallic tone, then backed off
  5. 16:17Spread taking the effect from mono out to wide stereo
  6. 19:26Preset run on a high-gain tone: vintage mono, wide resonance sweep, rotary

What it does

A flanger whose sweep can come from an LFO, from an envelope follower, or from a blend of the two. Rate runs up to five hertz, depth and regeneration set how pronounced and how metallic the comb sounds, and a spread control moves the output from mono to wide stereo. Analog and digital modes change the character, and there is smoothing, a preset bank, a default reset and a randomize button.

In the demo

Jade starts on a Yamaha acoustic in AUM with a little reverb behind it, working the LFO controls on their own before switching the envelope on so the sweep triggers off her picking. She then moves to a high-gain Rhino tone and runs the presets.

Worth knowing

It is a single flanger rather than a dual engine, and the envelope response depends on how hard you play, so quiet playing barely moves it.
