You no understand the awesome power known as ric-o-sound?

Don't just puss out by adding a clean blend and calling it a day. Goddamn I fucking hate that stacked clean+fizzy sound. Just stop. I don't care if Muse does it.
Yes, yes and more yes. Especially if the two signals are out of phase.

this. i know ILF is mostly all about the pedals, and usually i am too, but chaining modulation the way i do it almost ALWAYS loses the fundamental in swirly bedroom navalgaze-y goodness. but in a practical situation, its usually nice to hear the note. and if you have a pedal with clean blend, you can always dime it instead of going "weh weh weh, clean blend is dumb"
and quite frankly; fuzzes with one practical setting, and the rest for noise junk. yeah, octaves and oscillation and junk get a bit of a free pass, but the way i see it, building a fuzz or any pedal wiht that mentality is like tuning/building a supercar so that its only appealing on track days. which is in essence the epitome of the TGP attitude, but with noise instead of dumbletoanz.
envelope filters in general, sans bass maybe. for all you can get out of 'em they still always kinda sound like a one trick pony.
im surprised i dont have that many gripes, tbh.
i guess flange pedals always being boring? but thats kinda going away, especially with the subdecay flanger

+1 on filters...
Flangers come from running two tape decks simultaneously and placing your finger on the Flange (which is the edge of the reel) to slow one down and cause a Phase misalignment... They are what they are, I don't see a reason to "fancy up a Flanger"...

and this is why for most of these types of fxs I turn to moog.. yes they are bling'n $$$ yes they are REALLY BIG but fuck, the control.. the depth... the usefulness... sure no blend on the phase but shit it does a lot and it doesn't mess with my spectrums inless I set it so.

Dudes? WTF is your problem?
The only time a flanger is boring is if you don't know how to use it. The problem lies not with the tool, but with the craftsman, punks.

false: Sea Machine.
also fancied up flangers are literally the best. through zero, oscillating lfo, random square wave, airplane flange. all arguably some of the most transformative and expressive effects out there
