Favourite flange application is shoegaze haze all the way! Some nice verb and fuzz in there for some wishy washy dreamlike noise. Chaotic good. PastFX lets go!
Thanks for the opportunity! I have never tried a flanger pedal so my flanger moments are about as limited as possible. Would love to try this out though. Good luck everyone!
Favourite flanging moment has got to be Andy Summers of The Police in Walking On The Moon. That classic “is it a chorus or is it a flanger” sound that he gets is fantastic. Now I need to win the awesome Elastic Mattress by PastFX so I can recreate this iconic tone at home! 🙏🏻
My favourite flanger moment was seeing Paul Gilbert with Me Big playing his solo and hitting the foot switch of his modified ADA flanger. It almost knocked me off my feet! Awesome, deep, wide flange like waves of sound swelling over me and drawing me in.
My favorite flange moments have to be when it first gets turned on during the palm muting in “unchained” by Van Halen and then all of the use in “Walking on the moon” from the Police.
A few flanger rock and metal oldies: Rush - The Spirit Of Radio Led Zeppelin - Nobody's Fault But Mine Queen - Keep Yourself Alive Van Halen - Unchained, And The Cradle Will Rock, Ain't Talkin' But Love The Eagles - Life In The Fast Lane Lenny Kravitz - Are You Gonna Go My Way Iron Maiden - The Number Of The Beast Pantera - Cowboys From Hell 🤙 #favouriteflangermoments
My fave flanger moment is Brian May's intro to Keep Yourself Alive - sounds fantastic, and the perfect way to start a song (and Queen's career, actually)
Thx for doing a give-away with this awesome pedal! PastFX is a very good manufacturer. My favourite flanging effects are: 1) A more subtle effect (think The Police, think Cindy Lauper's Time after Time, ...). In this case I would use it as an always-on thing the whole song through. 2) A "watery" effect (fast rate, more colour/feedback) for dedicated parts in songs like an arpeggiated variation of the chords.
I’ve had my eye on the Mattress after Bjorn from Gilmourish sang it’s praises. It seems to do EHX better than EHX currently does ( sorry guys!). I like all forms of flanging but my favourite settings are the more subtle swirly Gilmour effect. I would love to add this to my board! Just bought the TD-Y and I’m loving that. Keep up the good work Verlie! 😊
My favourite flanger moment is that Gilmour tone in the solos of Comfortably Numb and The Final Cut. The Elastic Mattress is the perfect pedal for that tone ;)
Although I love Andy Summer's flanger tones, my favourite use of flanging is in "Tomorrow never knows" by the Beatles. It is the perfect effect for the song and really adds to the psychedelic sound of it. I surprisingly also very much loved when you guys paired the elastic mattress with the TD-Y in the filter matrix setting, it sounded absolutely killer. Great demo guys!
My favourite use of a flanger is the section before the solo in Are You Gonna Go My Way by Lenny Kravitz! if I’m ever playing about with a flanger sound, it’s the first thing I play.
Smashing Pumpkins "LOVE" is how I imagine Flangers sound. I really thought I already commented earlier lol but the water sounds y'all get from this is inspiring. Always great work!
I am a pumpkins fan and am always chasing their tones. I love thier earlier stuff, and finding a flanger than can produce some of thier earlier tones is important to me. I had looked into a vintage 18v Electric Mistress, but those are a bit cost prohibitive. This looks like the best alternative right now.
Great sounding flanger by PastEx! My favourites moments with this flanger is that it can be a flanger, chorus or phaser sounding pedal… especially a EHX style flanger. Alice In Chains - Rooster intro is just amazing sounding. Very versatile pedal. Great job!
I have the Chorus ensemble from pastfx… easily the best chorus/vibrato on the planet and such a great representation of the original. My favourite flanger sound is by Alex Lifeson of Rush, he was able to use it to add “depth” to his sound beyond what a chorus could do, and make it seem like his tone had many dimensions.
Great video per usual….I like flange a lot, but rarely use it (seems I do for overdubs n studio tricks). Having the blend is a must cause I like it mixed in subtlety. Hope everyone is doing well; sending all my love!!!
I really like flangers as a chorus alternative set subtly. A lot of Lifeson and Summers “chorus” sounds were the old non-Deluxe Electric Mistress. But I really love Lifeson’s early 80s use of the Electric Mistress into the CE-1, both on,
One of my favorite flanger tones is “When the World Is Running Down, You Make the Best of What’s Still Around” by The Police. Andy Summers chords are just so lush! Subtle and chorusy flanger, but so beautiful.
I have two favourite Flanger songs. The first is ‘Charlie Don’t Surf’ from Sandinista by The Clash. It always makes me think of the helicopters in Apocalypse Now. The other is ‘Bedward The Flying Preacher’ by Singers and Players on Pay It All Back Vol 1. They literally flange everything and it’s simply the best story as told by the legendary Prince Far I.
My favorite flanger moment is the very subtle use on Red Hot Chili Peppers' Give It Away (no pun intended lol), it gives the song just a little extra flavour which i think is great. This pedal would be great on my John Frusciante pedalboard with my PastFX Chorus Ensemble of course and the well known DS2 and Ibanez Wah.
My favourite flanging moment is when John Frusciante used his Electric Mistress before the Can't Stop solo in Slane Castle, it got me confused at first on what effect was it :)
holy crap! FINALLY a video where someone turns the range AND color knobs up at the same time. one might think the user manual warns against it for fear of the pedal blowing up or something. thank you guys for your nobel and unique bravery in this matter, it was quite elucidating. i thunked everyone was afraid of the range knob, and i was ready to smash my computer. (for posterity: 8:108:31 )
Iconic main melody in Ashes to Ashes by David Bowie with Tony Visconti coproduction, used an acoustic piano through EHX Electric Mistress together with a slap bass guitar. The end result when processed sounds like a synth. Same EHX with a Steinway grand piano was used by Vangelis (who sadly died this week at age 79) in Memories of Green from dystopian Blade Runner soundtrack. Check the first 2 discs (original 1982. music) from 2007. 25th anniversary edition. A synth masterpiece. Flanger is also known as a Darth Vader sound effect! ✌️ #favouriteflangermoments
Favourite Flanging moment, I absolutely love JP's use in Nobody's fault but mine, but sadly and dorkily my favourite moment was as a teenager with my first Modulation effect (Rocktek Flanger) discovering I could make my guitar sound like a helicopter of sorts... I spent waaaaay to much time doing that.
Great video (as usual). My "favourite Flanger moment" is a bit more general, basically trying to make parts sound a bit "old and broken". But for a specific moment (that doesn't really fall into this category) would be Gilmour's work on the Final Cut (all over that record if I recall).
Obviously the greatest use of a flanger was by Eddie Van Halen on Unchained. He of course used the MXR not the EHX, but still lol. And I feel like I need some of that Yamaha Revstar P90 goodness... sounds awesome, and the look is growing on me.
so many to choose from the drum roll in Itchy Coo Park. not a pedal or outboard in sight or all of A Forest by the Cure but my favorite - the last line of the chorus in Girls and Boys by Blur. no notes, all whoosing jet flange by my favorite guitarist
My favorite flanger moment is in the music "Beijo exagerado/ Todo Mundo Pastou", by Mutantes. Thia is a brazilian band from the 70s. Everybody should listen to then! They are great! The album "Tudo foi feito pelo sol" is a masterpiece!
My favourite flanger moment is the whole Regatta De Blanc album! Amazing tones, I would love to pair this with an echoplex style pedal. My 2nd favourite would have to be Van Halen's Unchained!
I like to crank the regen till its feeding back and adjust the time control to make a super in tour face siren sound. I also like cranking out the cure-esqe sounds
Big inspo's of mine who rock the flange have got to be Andy Summers & David Gilmour. The way they create such eargasmic sounds which partnered with their songs take you on a Journey and back, almost like you're on a boat saling though a lake, the ocean or freefalling in a void space surrounded by such feel projected by their work, makes them the best guitarist of all time 🎶
I've never actually used a flanger ( I know... lol) but were I to win this one I think that alongside using it with my guitar I would try to use it for vocals as well, maybe as some weird kind of vocal chorus? I know it sounds weird but I like to experiment! Cheers from the US of A!
Fav flanger moment (not specifically an electric mistress) ...Trying to avoid the obvious like David Gilmour, Andy Summers, EVH & I'll even have to exclude Barracuda(😭) etc. So, I'm thinking: 'Endors Toi' (Tame Impala) 'Made of Stone' (Stone Roses) Billy Duffy (The Cult) 'She sells sanctuary' Smashing Pumpkins would need to play a few albums to pick a track. 'A Forest' (The Cure) & many others of theirs John McGeoch (Siouxsie and the Banshees) 'Israel' & plenty more. What am awesome yet underrated guitarist. There'd likely be no Johnny Marr without his inspiration & even John Frusciante cites him as a huge influence. Oh, that's probably enough from me...I can talk way more music than guitar. 🤔 🤣🤣🤣 Cheers all. 😎
For me chorus for clean and flanger for distorted. This seems a cracking flanger but I love a nice melodic (all dials to about 10 o’clock) rather then a trip to wacky city 🤣. As always a great review and love the pedal has great range.
I also love that breakdown bit in Whippin’ Piccadilly now that I think about it.
My favourite flanger moment is walking on the moon. Just love that song.
Favourite flange application is shoegaze haze all the way! Some nice verb and fuzz in there for some wishy washy dreamlike noise. Chaotic good. PastFX lets go!
Favourite flanging moment(s) - all of EVH's flanger use.
Thanks for the opportunity! I have never tried a flanger pedal so my flanger moments are about as limited as possible. Would love to try this out though. Good luck everyone!
My favourite thing about a flanger is the range of sound you can get from it. Its like 4 in 1 effect and its beautiful!
Best flanger Moment? When Dan from that Pedal showed up his old „Electric Mistress“😁
Favourite flanging moment has got to be Andy Summers of The Police in Walking On The Moon. That classic “is it a chorus or is it a flanger” sound that he gets is fantastic. Now I need to win the awesome Elastic Mattress by PastFX so I can recreate this iconic tone at home! 🙏🏻
My favourite part of this video is when the blue filter setting kicks in. I love Flanger and use it a lot, but this thing is really special.
I always love Van Halen’s and Gilmour’s use of flanger, even tho they use different flangers, the jet flanging sound is always in my heart
Pastfx not messing around. This is the real deal flanger!
My favourite flanger moment was seeing Paul Gilbert with Me Big playing his solo and hitting the foot switch of his modified ADA flanger. It almost knocked me off my feet! Awesome, deep, wide flange like waves of sound swelling over me and drawing me in.
My favorite flange moments have to be when it first gets turned on during the palm muting in “unchained” by Van Halen and then all of the use in “Walking on the moon” from the Police.
The intro to Killing In The Name springs to mind first! I believe TM only has a flanger on his board for that one part
fav flange moment? prob barracuda by heart, total classic!
A few flanger rock and metal oldies:
Rush - The Spirit Of Radio
Led Zeppelin - Nobody's Fault But Mine
Queen - Keep Yourself Alive
Van Halen - Unchained, And The Cradle Will Rock, Ain't Talkin' But Love
The Eagles - Life In The Fast Lane
Lenny Kravitz - Are You Gonna Go My Way
Iron Maiden - The Number Of The Beast
Pantera - Cowboys From Hell
🤙 #favouriteflangermoments
My favourite flanger moment? Rush, spirit of radio!
Definitely one of the best flanger options, I dig the blend feature, thanks guys!
My fave flanger moment is Brian May's intro to Keep Yourself Alive - sounds fantastic, and the perfect way to start a song (and Queen's career, actually)
Favourite Flanger moment has to be The Cure's A Forest. Pure magic!
When live looping, I like to use a flanger to open up mind - the movement of the tones really inspires creativity 👌🏽
Favorite flanging moments: Dave Gilmour live solos on Comfortably Numb ...
My favourite flanger moment is in your giveaway announcement video when you say 'it's open only for those from the planet… not The Moon!'🌛
Head over heels by tears for fears! It’s zero through flanging 👌
Gilmour moments are for sure the one i love ! I love past FX so lets try to win this litlle one !
I love the range of sounds you can get out of this.
So many favourite flanger pedal moments, but I'll go with John McGeoch's work, namely Permafrost with Magazine.
Thx for doing a give-away with this awesome pedal! PastFX is a very good manufacturer. My favourite flanging effects are:
1) A more subtle effect (think The Police, think Cindy Lauper's Time after Time, ...). In this case I would use it as an always-on thing the whole song through.
2) A "watery" effect (fast rate, more colour/feedback) for dedicated parts in songs like an arpeggiated variation of the chords.
I love PastFX. Got their CE-1 mini and this Flanger. The best I've played of that type. The Patriarch Fuzz sounds epic, next on my Bucket List.
I’ve had my eye on the Mattress after Bjorn from Gilmourish sang it’s praises. It seems to do EHX better than EHX currently does ( sorry guys!). I like all forms of flanging but my favourite settings are the more subtle swirly Gilmour effect. I would love to add this to my board! Just bought the TD-Y and I’m loving that. Keep up the good work Verlie! 😊
My favourite flanger moment is that Gilmour tone in the solos of Comfortably Numb and The Final Cut. The Elastic Mattress is the perfect pedal for that tone ;)
Flanger is the most versatile effect I love to play Real estate darling using flanger
Has to be Give it Away by RHCP.. subtle but perfect use of a flanger
My first comment says it all huge Past Fx fan!
That pedal sounds killer!! My favorite flanger moment is whenever David Gilmour is using one 😊
That sounds ace. I have a soft spot for flangers, the 1st effect pedal I ever bought way back in the 80's.
Although I love Andy Summer's flanger tones, my favourite use of flanging is in "Tomorrow never knows" by the Beatles. It is the perfect effect for the song and really adds to the psychedelic sound of it. I surprisingly also very much loved when you guys paired the elastic mattress with the TD-Y in the filter matrix setting, it sounded absolutely killer. Great demo guys!
Most ethereal and thick flanger sound for me... Alex lifeson! favorite instance: spirit of radio!
My favourite use of a flanger is the section before the solo in Are You Gonna Go My Way by Lenny Kravitz! if I’m ever playing about with a flanger sound, it’s the first thing I play.
Favorite use is definitely Summer’s Walking on The Moon
Smashing Pumpkins "LOVE" is how I imagine Flangers sound. I really thought I already commented earlier lol but the water sounds y'all get from this is inspiring. Always great work!
Sounds amazing, I love flangers man
I am a pumpkins fan and am always chasing their tones. I love thier earlier stuff, and finding a flanger than can produce some of thier earlier tones is important to me. I had looked into a vintage 18v Electric Mistress, but those are a bit cost prohibitive. This looks like the best alternative right now.
I LOVE TO USE FLANGER EFFECT FOR A MARC DEMARCO STYLE :)
Also this sounds very Tame Impala too
Great sounding flanger by PastEx! My favourites moments with this flanger is that it can be a flanger, chorus or phaser sounding pedal… especially a EHX style flanger. Alice In Chains - Rooster intro is just amazing sounding. Very versatile pedal. Great job!
My Favourite flanger moment is Confortably numb solo on the Wall record. It mixes so well with big muff and delays.
My favourite flanger moment would probably be the riff for She’s In Parties by Bauhaus. Such cool and haunting tone!
I have the Chorus ensemble from pastfx… easily the best chorus/vibrato on the planet and such a great representation of the original.
My favourite flanger sound is by Alex Lifeson of Rush, he was able to use it to add “depth” to his sound beyond what a chorus could do, and make it seem like his tone had many dimensions.
Great video per usual….I like flange a lot, but rarely use it (seems I do for overdubs n studio tricks). Having the blend is a must cause I like it mixed in subtlety. Hope everyone is doing well; sending all my love!!!
Yess sirr! I think all modulation needs a blend knob nowadays.
Anyone that reads this comment check out Albus Band! ☝️
@@Jaysteenn aww too kind my dude!!!
I really like flangers as a chorus alternative set subtly. A lot of Lifeson and Summers “chorus” sounds were the old non-Deluxe Electric Mistress.
But I really love Lifeson’s early 80s use of the Electric Mistress into the CE-1, both on,
Jimi Hendrix's bold as love, as well as the cure, as many have noted, amazing uses of flanger
One of my favorite flanger tones is “When the World Is Running Down, You Make the Best of What’s Still Around” by The Police. Andy Summers chords are just so lush! Subtle and chorusy flanger, but so beautiful.
My favorite use of a Flanger pedal is the intro to Youngest Daughter by Superheaven
👍👍👍 super cool! That's really all you ever need for a flanger in my opinion.
Flange maybe least used effect for me!.. even so PastFx pedals always deserve a closer look!🎸
I have two favourite Flanger songs. The first is ‘Charlie Don’t Surf’ from Sandinista by The Clash. It always makes me think of the helicopters in Apocalypse Now. The other is ‘Bedward The Flying Preacher’ by Singers and Players on Pay It All Back Vol 1. They literally flange everything and it’s simply the best story as told by the legendary Prince Far I.
Eric Johnson High Landrons. That song started me down the Flanger road.
Right at 10:09 and shortly after is what you would want and expect from a flanger. Like #47
Favorite flanger moment? Ah, the flanger on that famous guitar riff.
'BBD' is my middle name so I'm always looking for that special analog Flanger moment 🤙
My favorite flanger moment is the very subtle use on Red Hot Chili Peppers' Give It Away (no pun intended lol), it gives the song just a little extra flavour which i think is great. This pedal would be great on my John Frusciante pedalboard with my PastFX Chorus Ensemble of course and the well known DS2 and Ibanez Wah.
My favourite use of a flanger is in the album "2" by Unknown Mortal Orchestra
during the fade in and fade out of side 1 and 2 of the record
Great album!!
My favourite flanging moment is when John Frusciante used his Electric Mistress before the Can't Stop solo in Slane Castle, it got me confused at first on what effect was it :)
As a avid Gilmour fan my favourite use of a Flanger, it has to be Gilmour’s use on Run Like Hell. Subtle but awesome
Fav flanger moment.... baaaarrrraaaccuuuuuuuuuuda!
holy crap!
FINALLY a video where someone turns the range AND color knobs up at the same time.
one might think the user manual warns against it for fear of the pedal blowing up or something.
thank you guys for your nobel and unique bravery in this matter, it was quite elucidating. i thunked everyone was afraid of the range knob, and i was ready to smash my computer.

Hehe…my pleasure!! Glad we could help

My favourite flanging moment would be Andy Summers on message in a bottle.
No doubt my favourite Flanger moment is Prince's solo in Let's Get Crazy.
Favourite Flanging moment, I absolutely love JP's use in Nobody's fault but mine, but sadly and dorkily my favourite moment was as a teenager with my first Modulation effect (Rocktek Flanger) discovering I could make my guitar sound like a helicopter of sorts... I spent waaaaay to much time doing that.
My favourite flanging moment has to be David Gilmour using a flanger live for his solos, with a big muff on Comfortably Numb or Mother.
Well you see I don't have a flanger but I'd love to have one, by far a beautiful sounding tones with it, love the channel keep it up 👍
Great video (as usual). My "favourite Flanger moment" is a bit more general, basically trying to make parts sound a bit "old and broken". But for a specific moment (that doesn't really fall into this category) would be Gilmour's work on the Final Cut (all over that record if I recall).
Electric mistress is made for andy summers and gilmour tones, i would love to have that pedal on my board
Favorite is Jimmy Page using the flanger (I think) on Nobody's Fault But Mine with Led Zeppelin!
Robert Smith of the Cure: the whole Seventeen Seconds album tuned my love for flanger. Special note to ‘A Forest’ and ‘Play for Today’.
For me best flange moments
1. Red hot chili peppers Throw away your television outro live (some of them, sounds killer)
2. Are you gonna go my way LK
Obviously the greatest use of a flanger was by Eddie Van Halen on Unchained. He of course used the MXR not the EHX, but still lol. And I feel like I need some of that Yamaha Revstar P90 goodness... sounds awesome, and the look is growing on me.
so many to choose from
the drum roll in Itchy Coo Park. not a pedal or outboard in sight
or all of A Forest by the Cure

I will check it out…thanks Gustavo
Great sound. Some old Incubus crazy sound
There are so many great uses of flanger; my choice is Barracuda by Heart
Favorite flange moment is the intro Rooster by Alice In Chains! That flange sweep makes me crave an electric mistress every time!
Cheers, guys
My favourite flanger moment is the whole Regatta De Blanc album! Amazing tones, I would love to pair this with an echoplex style pedal.
My 2nd favourite would have to be Van Halen's Unchained!
Favourite flanger riffs would have to be either the hypnotic solo on To Live Is To Die by Metallica or the intro to Run Like Hell
I like to crank the regen till its feeding back and adjust the time control to make a super in tour face siren sound.
I also like cranking out the cure-esqe sounds
16:40 yahhh yes!!!
Big inspo's of mine who rock the flange have got to be Andy Summers & David Gilmour. The way they create such eargasmic sounds which partnered with their songs take you on a Journey and back, almost like you're on a boat saling though a lake, the ocean or freefalling in a void space surrounded by such feel projected by their work, makes them the best guitarist of all time 🎶
my favorite flanger sound is Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush's Land Of A Thousand Nights
I've never actually used a flanger ( I know... lol) but were I to win this one I think that alongside using it with my guitar I would try to use it for vocals as well, maybe as some weird kind of vocal chorus? I know it sounds weird but I like to experiment! Cheers from the US of A!
Favourite flanging moment is when the signal turns from the BOWOW to the GLEEGOOGOO, aka washing machine to time warp.
The Police were the band I loved in my youth so would be pretty much any of their stuff.
Fav flanger moment (not specifically an electric mistress) ...Trying to avoid the obvious like David Gilmour, Andy Summers, EVH & I'll even have to exclude Barracuda(😭) etc.
So, I'm thinking:
'Endors Toi' (Tame Impala)
'Made of Stone' (Stone Roses)
Billy Duffy (The Cult) 'She sells sanctuary'
Smashing Pumpkins would need to play a few albums to pick a track.
'A Forest' (The Cure) & many others of theirs
John McGeoch (Siouxsie and the Banshees) 'Israel' & plenty more. What am awesome yet underrated guitarist. There'd likely be no Johnny Marr without his inspiration & even John Frusciante cites him as a huge influence.
Oh, that's probably enough from me...I can talk way more music than guitar. 🤔
🤣🤣🤣
Cheers all. 😎
Favourite flanger moment is vh unchained riff followed floyd and the wall sounds
For me chorus for clean and flanger for distorted. This seems a cracking flanger but I love a nice melodic (all dials to about 10 o’clock) rather then a trip to wacky city 🤣. As always a great review and love the pedal has great range.
Thanks Robert!
Favorite Flanger Moment: when I "never had the nerve to make the final cut" ;)
My favorite flanger moment is def in Pantera’s “Cowboys from Hell”
Favourite use is intro’s to machinehead songs.
Favorite Flanger moment: Life in the Fast Lane.
I use flangers as chorus for the classic police tones
