Re: Modulation quest
Starlight MkII is a really fantastic flanger. Even having a CBA Spectre I might pick one of those up.

Re: Modulation quest
Sylnau--did I see a demo where you were using the Starlight DLX? Do you like the basic sound of the Starlight MkII better--I hear tell Brian changed things up in the flanger room with the MkII.... The DLX is pretty skull-crushing with all it's modes, but basically sounds A/DAish to me.sylnau wrote:I would suggest you to look at the SubDecay Starlight MkII.
On my side, the search in over.
Starlight MkII + Mid-Fi Electric Yggdrasil on my board cover all my needs.
BTW, has anybody called it yet? 2016--Year of the RIng Mod....

2016 is the year everyone finally realizes Granular Delay is the shit and it becomes the next shimmer, IMO.

Re: Modulation quest
So, I'm gonna sorta hijack this thread.
What do you guys think is the closest flanger currently on the market to the A/DA flanger?
I've really gotten into Failure/Ken Andrews in general and I know that the A/DA was a staple of their modulation sounds.

Re: Modulation quest
I've heard a/b demos between the various A/DA units and the color is a little different. I think the Homebrew is based on the A/DA, if the reissue doesn't suit you. I had an A/DA Final Phase for a while, but always got outbid, while trying to acquire the vintage flange.

I tried the AD/A... wasn't for me.

Re: Modulation quest
The main issue I have with the reissue it it's just so damn expensive. I've seen originals that go for less.
Also, I can't seem to find the HBE Frostbite anywhere. I guess I'll just build the moosapotamus clone when I have the time.

Re: Modulation quest
Oh shit, I've never seen that one before.
I was thinking of the bigger reissue.
Damn, that's a great price, actually.
I wonder when it'll be released.

I don't think it's out quite yet, but soon. They're taking pre-orders.

Re: Modulation quest
That's why I like the DLX---it's cold and complex. It's perfect for film score work where one has to navigate a frigid, alien terrain. Your demo of the MKII is nice, and it actually reminds me of the Frequency Central Sonic Death Ray phaser---that watery, bubbly character underneath.sylnau wrote:I didn't like the DLX... it was too complexe and cold sounding.
