An authentic emulation of the original 1975 studio rackmount, the Instant Flanger was famously used on David Bowie’s “Ashes to Ashes” and Cyndi Lauper’s “Time After Time.” A truly versatile tool, engineers and producers have used it for stereo sweetening, subtle modulations, double tracking, and extreme flanging effects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"h-features\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-white-color has-text-color\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wp-block-column has-ast-global-color-5-color has-text-color is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"wp-block-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDepth\u003c\/strong\u003e controls the intensity of the effect. 100% adds the delayed signal to the dry signal. -100 % subtracts the dry signal from the delayed signal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree distinct flavors\u003c\/strong\u003e of flanging.

The Instant Flanger Mk II has dual outputs that create three different sonic images — “Shallow,” “Deep,” and “Wide.” Combining “Wide” Mode with the “Low Cut” control is an easy way to place multiple harmonies behind the lead. Fine-tune the resonance of your flanging effect by using the “Depth” and “Feedback” controls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"h-true-end-to-end-emulation\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eTrue End-to-end Emulation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eTape machines use servo motors to run at a constant speed. When an engineer pressed a thumb on the flange and then suddenly let go, the capstan motor servo reacts, overshooting and undershooting as it seeks to recover proper speed. In other words, it ‘bounces.’ The Instant Flanger convincingly mimicked this behavior with its innovative “Bounce” control knob. Use this feature to add a real-world groove to your tracks.\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"h-distinguishing-flanging-from-phasing-since-1975\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eDistinguishing Flanging from Phasing Since 1975\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv aria-hidden=\"true\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThe method of tape flanging was originally achieved by playing back a track on two separate tape machines and using your thumb to apply pressure to the “tape flange” thereby slightly slowing down one of the machines. In the tape era, before the introduction of electronic effects devices, the terms “phasing” and “flanging” were used interchangeably. Then, in 1971, Eventide released the Instant Phaser which was based on analog filters rather than delay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eWhen the Instant Flanger was released in 1975, the original hardware manual explained: “Old model phasing units used analog circuitry to modify the frequency spectrum. Eventide’s Instant Flanger uses a true time delay circuit, producing many more nulls and thus a much deeper effect than previously available with an all-electronic unit.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eLearn more about the original \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.eventideaudio.com\/50th-flashback-5-fl-201-instant-flanger\/\"\u003eInstant Flanger\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/center\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"Eventide Instant Flanger Mk II Authentic Emulation of the Original Studio Hardware\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/k8GUSrJfiyk?list=PLhT2MsSeKiDxMl4OI9uzbnaFfcK9kH3Ui\" height=\"675\" width=\"1200\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EVENTIDE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44925552459949,"sku":null,"price":129.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0606\/3449\/7197\/files\/InstantFlanger-MkII-..._imresizer.jpg?v=1760206176","url":"https:\/\/www.detroitmodular.com\/products\/eventide-instant-flanger-mkii","provider":"Detroit Modular","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
