The Electro-Harmonix Flanger Hoax is one of the most powerful modulation instruments ever designed.From shimmering static and active phasing to frequency adjustable flanging, you will find an exciting new palette of textures at your fingertips. The sheer number of variations available through both familiar and advanced modulation controls will present you with the ability to creatively shade as well as wildly animate your music in a way that really was never before possible at this price level. Your own creativity is your only limitation.
Connect your instrument or mixer's Effects Send Output to the Flanger Hoax's Input jack, and run a second cable from any or all of the three main outputs (Direct out, Blended out or Effect out). You will learn which outputs will serve your purposes the best in different situations. Hit the true bypass footswitch to activate, and get ready for a magically ethereal treat.
BACKGROUND The Flanger Hoax is made up of two separate phaser sections and their associated Delay Lines. The phaser sections are the Fixed Phaser and Swept Phaser. The Fixed Phaser will shift the phase of your input signal by a set amount of 240 o . The Swept Phaser is more like a traditional phaser, modulated by a low frequency sine wave called the Modulator. Each phaser circuit is followed by its own analog delay line, each of which can also be independently swept by the Modulator. Each phaser section can be bypassed to access the delay lines without any phase shift. To top it all off, there is a Feedback control that allows you to send the wet output of the pedal or the output of the Swept Phaser back into the phaser circuits.
WARNING : Use only the 18VDC/500mA AC adapter supplied with the FLANGER HOAX. Do not use any other AC adapters. Using other AC adapters, even those made by Electro-Harmonix, could cause harm to the unit, the adapter or you. The FLANGER HOAX does not use batteries.
