FL-170 Flanger
The Wholenote FL-170 Flanger is a captivating pedal that can transport your guitar tone into a dreamy, undulating soundscape. Unlike many flangers that offer a narrow, metallic swoosh, the FL-170 delivers a lush, organic modulation that ebbs and flows with a life of its own. At its core, the FL-170 uses analog bucket-brigade delay circuitry to create its signature flanging effect. But Wholenote has meticulously tuned the controls to unlock a wide range of tonal possibilities. The Rate knob allows you to sync the flanger's movement to your playing tempo for a perfectly synchronized, rhythmic pulse. Crank up the Depth and you'll be enveloped in a thick, swirling vortex of sound. Dial it back for a more subtle, shimmering texture that adds dimension and movement to your tone. What makes the FL-170 truly special is its ability to create a "breathing" effect, where the flange sweeps gradually back and forth. This organic quality is perfect for ambient, atmospheric guitar parts, allowing your notes to float and drift in a sea of modulation. Renowned shoegazers like Kevin Shields of My Bloody Valentine were known to use similar flangers to craft their iconic wall of sound. Whether you're looking to add mesmerizing movement to your chords, or create psychedelic lead lines that seem to hover in mid-air, the Wholenote FL-170 Flanger is a must-have for any guitarist seeking to expand their sonic palette.
