Mr. Black
Tunnelworm
The ever-inventive Mr. Black
actually has a pair of throughzero flangers in its lineup: The
Shepard’s End “barber pole”
infinite flanger, and the classic tapeflanging Tunnelworm. They are both
extraordinary stompboxes, and
do sweet tape tones with ease. A
guitarist with a taste for tape flange
could go with either one and be
totally delighted and inspired, but
I suppose if I was going to choose
one it might be the Tunnelworm.
Why? Well, in addition to the
through-zero tones, the Tunnelworm
is equally adept at classic, solid-
state-style flanger sounds, Hendrix
or SRV style rotating speaker tones,
and warm, liquid chorus, among
other things. If you need one
flanger to rule them all, the Mr.
Black Tunnelworm would be a
spectacular choice.
