Biyang FL8 Flanger




Biyang's Flanger FL-8 is one of our favorite pedals. An analog circuitry design is incorporated to created the flanger effect. The RES knob allows the musician to create an endless swirling effect.

The Rate knob refers to the speed of the wave or the rate at which the Low Frequency Oscillator (LFO) waveform repeats, more specifically, it controls how many times per second the notches in the audio spectrum sweep up and down. The speed also affects the pitch modulation and the depth of the notches.

The Depth knob also allows you to control the depth of the sound, the larger the depth, the more pronounced the notches will be. The Manual knob allows you to choose the LFO waveform that determines how much to delay the flanger sound effect.

This is a pedal for adventurous musicians who are not afraid to make a big impact with their music. Some of our favorite musicians who uses this effect are: Smashing Pumpkins on the tracks "Love" and "Through The Eyes Of Ruby", Lenny Kravitz on "Are You Gonna Go My Way", and Nickelback on "Next Contestant".
