Tweaked Video: Electro-Harmonix Flanger Hoax

Hey there noise fans. It's time for another edition of Gearwire Tweaked. Recently while trying out a new batch of guitar effect pedals I made an amazing discovery about the Electro-Harmonix Flanger Hoax. The pedal was plugged into the Princeton Recording Amp but the input was just a patch cable with no sound source. I turned a few knobs and out came some pretty interesting sounds.

The pedal was in fact self oscillating just using the noise from the unplugged input cable. Everything you hear is generated by the pedal itself except for some reverb from the guitar amp. The fun starts out slow but builds quite nicely. Things get really crazy about halfway through. So, check out this edition of Gearwire Tweaked.

@1kaptenqk I think you missed the point of what i was saying, and also misread my comment. I was commenting on how what he is doing isn't an 'amazing discovery' as implied by the video, then i made a quick point on how with a delay pedal, you can achieve very similar sounds, using the same PRINCIPLE. i think you missed that.

So, I would agree ~ things that are not 'the same', MUST be different. LOL. Way to state the obvious dude ;\

@triplesquarednine if the parameters AND the controls AND the sounds are different - wouldn't you say that's not the same?

This is a very unique pedal for self-oscilating

That's cool and all, but that is not an "amazing discovery" almost ALL modulation FX, whether analog or digital, can produce very similar results. by playing with feeback, lfo's, Q/resonance, depth and cut-off (depending on the effect), you will get very similar results.

cool but not a discovery (maybe if you had discovered this in the fifties/sixties?)

Delay pedals can often produce interesting FX in a similar fashion but obviously the parameters/controls/sounds are different. same principle

epic stuffs :D I love how he sometimes retracts his hand as he notices the pedal has a life on his own. I need one too!

All this, and you hadn't even plugged the guitar in yet. I need one.
