Yup
But I can see how some people can't get past the clichéd cranked sensitivity knob thing :/

I definitely would be up for making a flanger! I love the sound of them and I think I could do a pretty badass analog one. I'd probably do a flanger over a phaser... I'm more of a flanger kinda guy I think. I'm sure the Strymon is top notch but I'll always have a soft spot for analog when it comes to modulation/filtering.

I think after the bigberator I'll get the Elements ready and then I'll be looking for a project... and a flanger would be perfect!

We have it in writing. Now it must be done.

i'd buy a flanger... make it thru-zero, though. or at least that option...

Haha, that's great!

Ok, sorry Jon, but back to compressors... I think I get how and why they're used in studios for mixing and mastering but I guess I just don't really get how or why live guitar players use them... or what they need them for exactly. I can't think of any guitar players where their tone or style is thanks to a compressor pedal. Especially when it's such a subtle kind of effect that you aren't supposed to hear or notice it when it's done well. I don't mean to suggest it's not a useful or important pedal, I'm just ignorant about them.. I need some examples or something to enlighten me.

Ok, back to flangers... flangers are cool! Tough pedal to think of a name for though, it's such a weird word.

What about David Gilmour and Mark Knopfler?

Yeah, B-man? Are those dudes known for their use of compression pedals? Is a compressor pedal the reason why Money For Nothing sounds so cool?

If I'm not completely crazy, I remember hearing that Gilmour had like 5 Ibanez CP-9 compressors on his board back in the day though. I may be crazy, but I seem to remember that from somewhere.

Sultans of swing defintley used a compressor to get that distorted sound out of a clean amp so it's very possible Money for nothing was using one too yeah... let alone the picked intro being the perfect set up for the use of a compressor.

He introduced an MXR Dyna comp part way through The Dark Side of the Moon tour... I dunno about 5 of them but he has that and I think he uses a BOSS CS-2 (you'd be forgiven for thinking Boss was Ibanez) and he defintiley had duplicates of a lot of his BOSS pedals (Just had a look, at one point he had 4 BOSS GE-7's and he did have an Ibanez CP-9 so it's entirely plausible that yeah... he had 5 compressors, that's alot of compression)

But apart from that... Dr.Scientist BBD TZF Flanger! (Flanger + TZF... it should be called the Flangezilla or Flange By Zero... like divide by zero but flangey)
