This is an analog flanger.
There are four knobs: Width (depth of sound) Rate (frquence wave) Regen (rgle the effect that "jet" of the pedal, making the sound more or less spinning) and Delay Time (rgle which makes the character more or less "Dtun the pedal, the more one goes in the opposite direction to clockwise, and is Dtun .dropoff window
One would apprcier whether in stereo, but for me there is no problem. I put 9.

USE

This beautiful very simple, I think we need some time to get used rglages influence on each other. The variety of sounds is very important. We can have trsmtalliques stuff, but also very beautiful and deep chorus (Andy Summers). It is playing with the knobs around noon that obtained the most beautiful sounds, but variations can be large. Conclusion: it's easy to have a good sound, but it's hard to have time we want exactly. short, it is not either galre, but you have prvoir a small growth of "tweaking" before having his desire.

SOUND QUALITY

For me the sound is legendary. I thought dtester flanger that I assimilated this horrible sound of jet sometimes hears, but I realized that a lot of sounds that I believed be the chorus are actually flanger. To get the sound of the Cure as Andy Summers, the flanger is perfect. But if you want something more lightweight which allows to modulate the sound distortion or fuzz the Manire J Mascis of Dinosaur Jr, you can do it too.
What I mean is that even if made a sound typ it will not be limited to the sound of years 80. We just have to be measured, and not to abuse the Regen knob nor the Delay Time (not too much left, except if wanted).
Only small problem, it's not a true bypass, and I seem to hear a lightweight pitched noise, even when the pedal is dyed. In addition, there is a lightweight breath back like a wave. For me it is not Gnant, I have not seen the interest to put in an effects loop, but I imagine that might be effective.
(EDIT: to get the sound of Andy Summers on tracks like "Driven to Tears" or "Do do do da da da", try the following rglage: Width 2 hours, 11 hours Rate, Regen 1 Time and Delay Time 12.30pm. You tell me the news!)

NOTICE GLOBAL

This made me love the pedal flanger. The sound is natural, warm and crmeux, mtallique not at all (except in extreme rglages). It opens musical opportunits, and for this reason, I advise anyone who wants to bring a little more their pedal board.
