This is the type of content that is pure gold, and most people don't realize it. We can demo pedals all day long, but knowing how to use it is the most crucial thing. "What's the best 'insert pedal'?", pops up often in comments. The best pedal is the one you get to understand inside out. If people understood that a versatile delay can do flanger, chorus and many more effects, they would most likely only have a handful of very powerful pedals on their boards, instead of 20 pedals that can do one thing well. Thanks for the awesome video.
I like the pretty art. Which is why I have 1 MAS Effects Tiny Fuzz and plan to get 3 more. (The Tiny Fuzz has over a dozen different art options to choose from.)
depends on what you're trying to play. van halen stuff, you could honestly put any of those after a distortion or OD and rock out. However, I appreciate the way Tool uses flanger on almost all guitar sounds, very very subtley, but gives a nice psychedelic vibe when placed before OD or distortion, and when driven into feedback with a wah and compressor, goes into that ear piercing scratching sound that adam jones does so so well.
i have the polychrome and the boss bf-2, and boss bf-3. Honestly, I think the Boss BF-3 sounds the best to my ears, although the polychrome is very high quality, the parameters are all digital and do not make sense consistently, aka, the rate knob goes from slowest at zero all the way to noon, without changing! and right after you go past noon, it kicks in to a fast mode. Very unintuitive and non-musical, emailed walrus about this and they basically said yeah that's just how it is.....really? i expect more from walrus, they have amazing quality pedals otherwise. The BF-2 is warmer sounding and more analog obviously, it really is better for nailing that subtle psychedelic warmth underneath, but I give the BF-3 first place because it is more versatile with more options like ultra and hold mode, even if it is a little brighter sounding than the BF-2, you can't go wrong with either. also the polychrome controls are not obvious and are a little counter-intuitive as well, I don't even know what knobs to turn to match it to a BF-3 sound so that's lame.

Flanger pedals are so underrated, they sound so weird and love them.
Amazing demo sir! Greetings from the Philippines
Great video!!!! Thanks
Reality is that you can probably play 99% of songs with 3 pedals... However, nobody wants to tweak their pedals all day so.. now we have 100+ pedals 😂
Which is why I have 3 flangers and 4 delays on my board. Then again, they all do their own thing.

Name your 3 pedals
The intro sounds were very very musical... What have you used there?
Flanger before drive or after?
Flanger after Drive has more noticeable flange effect than Drive after Flanger. It's a matter of personal taste.
@@JohnShalamskas I meant in the video.
Hi. What pedal is better to play with distortion? Thanks.

@@KodyXXVll how about NÜ Metal? I'm looking for Wes Borland from Bizkit and Stephen Carpenter from Deftones typa sound?

Regretting getting rid of my Vortex pedal but it never sounded as chewy as analog flangers IMHO.
