totally agree that, on a full mix, the through-zero experience is more enjoyable and somehow seems more "right"... somehow

youre all crazy TZF rules, but I think I agree that a typical more expected flanger sweep goes great for enhancing a solo or riff

Gaps of silence are the brain compressing from overstimulation to let nothing past.
Squeeze a brain strong/long enough and there is a moment when the phosphene swirl
accompanies a complete gap of blank silence as consciousness effervesces. To recreate that
sensation safely with a pedal... this is the way of the flanger.
It's hard for me to think of flanger as "overrated" when it is generally seen as a niche sound of
relatively "limited" appeal or application.
Do you need to dust the strands of your beaded curtain by slurping them down a vacuum cleaner attachment?
Maybe not. But sometimes even small delays must be accommodated, despite the distortions.
You can try to reach the resonance The Replacements.
You can burn a house down.
You can score some drugs at a park.

Kind of wild to see Spaceman dropping a second flanger.
This really needs a purple plate though...or even better, no plastic adornments.
