Stacking Modulation?
I know chorus and flanger sound cool together, but does anyone combine either chorus or flanger with phaser effects? I'm about to buy a phaser and wanted to know if anyone has tried this.

Re: Stacking Modulation?
yeah, you can stack what ever you want. we all do, trying to get that sound out of our heads. just experiment. there are no hard and fast rules. there are no rules really. try one in front of the other, then the other way. you'll know if it works for you or not. i am always rearranging my signal chain for fresh new perspectives and inspiration.WeHuntKings wrote:I know chorus and flanger sound cool together, but does anyone combine either chorus or flanger with phaser effects?

Re: Stacking Modulation?
Trial & error will find what works best for you. Maybe.
For mod, I prefer stacking fast > slow as opposed to slow > fast.
Phaser is a favorite ingredient in the mix, as well.
On my current board, It's a Cosmichorus > Street Sweeper.
So I get oscillation from the CC and then manual sweep phasing with the SS.
All this is going into the front-end of my amp.
If your amp has an fx loop, experiment with both.

Re: Stacking Modulation?
yes, but usually i used to do a slow phaser into fast flanger for a very psychedelic sound

We don't need no stackin' modulation.

This thread title suggested to me to post some "stinkin' badges".
I still think flanger is the most versatile modulator effect around.
And to answer the question, yes, I've tried this and flanger and phaser can sound great together, you just have to get the sweeps timed properly.
I'm also a big fan of either phaser or flanger with tremolo.

^ I'm with Chank on phaser and tremolo. Very cool sounds in that.

Trem really isn't modulation to me even though technically it is but it's different... I like the Tremulust into some modulated delay... Slow into fast or fast into slow or whatever...
Didn't we/I do some double flange stuff last year???

Re: Stacking Modulation?
I loved phasers before I loved flangers, but flangers are definitely way more versatile.Mudfuzz wrote:It would be if it was a phaser but it just isn't.Chankgeez wrote:I still think flanger is the most versatile modulator effect around.

Re: Stacking Modulation?
I might be swayed if I didn't have a moog phaser [or you could insert other uber phasers], with a flanger if you take it to extreme controlling you get a chorus but then it is chorusing and not flanging so it is no longer flange where phase is always a phaseChankgeez wrote:I loved phasers before I loved flangers, but flangers are definitely way more versatile.Mudfuzz wrote:It would be if it was a phaser but it just isn't.Chankgeez wrote:I still think flanger is the most versatile modulator effect around.
