What’s Flancher ? Flancher is a line of 4 different stereo, analog, voltage controlled pedals. They use BBD (bucket brigade device) chips running internally at 15V and are comparable to late 70’s chorus delay studio rack units such as Roland SBF-325 or Boss DM-100. The FL9 and FL7 are geared towards pitch modulation such as chorus, flanger, vibrato, and quasi-ring mod sounds. The FL9 uses a 256 stage BBD, while the FL7 uses a 1024 stage BBD. More stages means more delay time, but also more noise. The FL7 has more delay time available (from 1.5ms to 34ms), but the sound is more filtered. The FL9 has a much smaller range of times (from 0.4ms to 9ms), but can reach ultra-short times that the FL7 cannot. These differences mean that the FL9 more suited for flanger sounds, while the FL7 is a more natural fit for chorus sounds.
