Holla, Me gusto flange. I need a stereo out flanger to incorporate into my chain since I sold my old DOD Flanger. It can have mono in because it will be the first stereo effect in my chain so a mono output pedal will feed into it. I love jet sounding shit and TZ is a bonus. I mostly like the whooshing for slowdive gazen and I'm not about to manually flange two tapes while I play guitar.

Stereo Electric Mistress? (flange, chorus, and filter matrix i think). The regular Electric Mistress (Flange, filter matrix, no chorus) is great but I don't know about the Stereo version.
The Vortex sounds pretty good, will have to try one in person. The Strymon I would want to find one used since I just dropped $450 on a timeline to them and wouldn't want to drop another $300.
I have always wanted to try a vintage Electric Mistress cause I love the way they sound but the reissue stuff and the deluxe sound too metalic to me and I'm not a huge fan of that sound. Also the echoflanger is something I would love to hear in person but I never even seen one anywhere.

If you're at all handy with a soldering iron, the BYOC stereo flanger sounds pretty sick to me. It's not a straight clone of anything, and I've loved the demo clips that I've heard.

+1 I never tried the BYOC stereo flanger, but the demo is awesome!

i love my TC SCF which has mono in/stereo out, but i have no idea how it does in stereo because i don't have a stereo rig. find one used if you want one, though, because they're painfully expensive new.

Yeah, I guess the reissue isn't really for Slowdive stuff.. The stereo one might be good if you mix in a bit of chorus but then it wouldn't really be a straight flange sound.
Wasn't the Echo Flanger essentially a Polychorus? I think I've heard that. The Polychorus seems to have the best flange tone in demos, but it might be out of your price range (It's out of mine, which is why I didn't think to mention it).
EDIT 2: I realized that one got kind of metallic on higher blends too.. The TC Vortex seems great though. I think I may leave this to other people now for fear of wearing out the flange-related nuclei in my brain.

try the Pitch Modulation with the Intensity set to about 2.5...it combines chorus with vibrato, with chorus at max with the knob at zero, vibrato maxed at all the way up, and the 2 balanced at mid-sweep.

Man, I was away for a day and missed this thread. Anyways, when it comes to stereo flangers, there's a few different ways to go.
First of all, I love the DOD in stereo, I'm using the bass one right now.
The Stereo Electric Mistress is also really cool in stereo, but yes it is quite metallic. That's actually why I like it, I can get awesome metallic sproing-y sounds from it.
If you're looking for TZF, you're basically limited to the Foxrox (unobtainium), the Flanger Hoax (which isn't true stereo, it has a clean out and a wet out), the Strymon and the TC Vortex. I haven't tried either of the latter two, but the clips of them sound fantastic and I do plan on trying them both at some point. I'm using the Flanger Hoax for my TZF needs right now, and it does that extremely well.

Thanks for the settings, can't wait to try them. Do we have a settings thread?
Also: Yeah these things are crazy expensive, I got mine in a trade which was fortunate, not sure I would have paid for one.

I would never have been able to afford to buy mine for full price...i got mine from the local buy/sell for an insanely low used price, like $139 or something. it was one of those "HOLY SHIT!" "er, can i see that, please?" moments.
