Yeah I'm getting big into wah enclosure pedals lately, I mainly want the pedalflanger cause it will match perfectly with my parachute wah.... I'm so OCD when it comes to my pedal board layout... :no:

That's everyone's favorite everything it seems. Still trying to figure mine out.

My A/DA is a little metallic, but I'm finding some subtler tones that are great after dirt. I've also got a Psycho Flange that I modded so you can have just one of the flangers going at once and it gives a really nice typical flange sound.

I have and like the MXR Micro Flange, but it's the only one I've tried... and I wish it had manual & width knobs.

Are the MXR and Electric Mistress similar? All I know is I like the sound of the Electric Mistress a lot, but have never used flange enough to justify buying one.

For "normal" flanger toanz, the DOD FX72/75B are my favorite over the Boss, the MXR or the Mistress. Much thicker and fatter sounding.

For TZF/oscillation/feedback/wacky shit, the Flanger Hoax is unparalleled.

I'm tempted to mess with the trimmers in mine. The schematics I've looked at are a little unclear though. It'd be kind of lame, but not really that big of a deal, if I mucked it up.

Can you rehouse it and mount the trimmers on the outside of the enclosure?

you can do that with the lovetone and a exp pedal.
you can also make it do just the frozen flange sound like a mistress, then move the flange with your foot

tis awesome
Hmmm I've never messed with a meatball before, but unless you got a clone the metaball plus espression pedal would put you in the same price range and take up more pedalboard space. I mainly like this one so I can go from heel down to toe down during a build and then click it off back to normal, sounds sooooo fucking heavy.

I'm thinking the smallskull / bigfilter in a wah enclosure will do exactly what I'm looking for and way cheaper though. :yay:
Ergonomically the pedal flanger is awesome and based on that video it sounds killer :)

I think pedal controlled flange is under rated!
If the flanger hoax allowed pedal controlled thru zero that'd be ridiculous....

And I just got some mod ideas!
