fl anger hoax With its expansive control set and ability to do wild phaser and fl anger sounds, the Flanger Hoax is no joke. If you’re one of those players who loves tweaking knobs—and the Small Stone and Bad Stone just aren’t going to do it for you—the Flanger Hoax has everything you need and more. Two phase modes—fi xed and swept—can be merged with a modulator section, as well controls for blend and feedback, to create a ton of phasing textures. The Swept Phaser section has its own set of controls, allowing you to tailor the sound even further. The Flanger Hoax also features direct, blended, and effect outputs, so you can incorporate it into your stereo setup or mixing board. If you only use phaser on one song in your set, this is probably a bit much for you. This pedal is for the sonic adventurer who doesn’t mind devoting time to learning how to harness the power it possesses. “If you’re one of those players who loves tweaking knobs— and the Small Stone and Bad Stone just aren’t going to do it for you—the Flanger Hoax has everything you need and more.” ToneReport.com 27
