Yar I has another that can go cheaper. They're really great
Got an A/DA clone from Ian today and it roooocks. Does the manual flange thing (no idea if it's static or so slow it might as well be, but the effect is there) really nicely, plus lots of other fancy sounds. Having owned a mooer flanger and flanger hoax before, this strikes the right balance between being too simple and too complicated. Sounds great, no volume drop problems, tonnes of sounds.
^ definitely with you on the A/DA being the perfect level of complicated-ness. i find i never use the gate feature but it never interferes with anything if left open so it's handy. polarity switch is awesome.
i've been using my turnipfarmfx A/DA clone most lately. i really love the simple shimmery chorus kinda sounds you can get out of that circuit. sounds awesome pre-dirt too.

..how cheap are we talking? exchange rate isn't on my side and i've already bought two flangers this week but i'm kinda interested cos i've not tried the EM yet. how's it compare to the A/DA?
i fucking love that 'boss pedal sat in the sun too long' aesthetic
for ages i was using a BF-2 later in the chain with all the knobs dimed. for more subtle, slower sweeping sounds i always use flanger pre-dirt but that combination is a really good one since the BF-2 is pretty dark anyway.
ibanez AD-190 is my go-to now. every flanger needs a mix knob and tone knob, makes everything so versatile. currently bidding on a Boss BF-1 so hopefully i can try that soon too.

I mainly bought it to experiment with some clangy 80's post punk vibez. I'll probably sandwich it between my Huge Box II and Elements, sounds pretty sweet before the Elements, but doesn't seem to get through the thick wall of fuzz that is Huge Box II (especially since I run it on the darkest filter setting)
A lot of the time on bass I used the BF2 after fuzz to give it some teeth. Set rate and depth to min, feedback to just a little more than min, and manual to taste. Gives this rubbery, grindy fuzz sound that I love!
has anybody tried a Chigago Iron Pedalflanger? or a Moog Cluster Flux?
i'm considering moving up in the flanger world and can't decide which because i sure as hell can't afford both. The pedalflanger seems the nicest tonally, even in demos i think you can tell it has something special going on, but the moog is insanely versatile, and they're both about the same price.

Skip to like 8:38 and ask yourself if the pedalflanger can do THAT:

for sure, it'd be a bit of a gamble to take it just seems to be one of those things that people don't talk about because nobody wants to pay that much but the people that do own them say they're amazing so i can't help but be curious. flangers are pretty intensive builds normally so i try to be open minded about the really expensive ones.
anyway the flanger fund is mostly drained now cos i unexpectedly won an auction on an original A/DA with the control pedal
