					The Effects and Parameters

Flanger (M), Flanger24 (M) and Flanger (S)
Flanger (M) and Flanger24 (M)		Flanger (S)		Originally, flanging effects were
				created by simultaneously playing
				two identical programs on two tape
				recorders, then using hand pres-
				sure against the flange of the tape
				reels to slow down first one ma-
				chine, then the other. The result
				was a series of changing phase
				cancellations and reinforcements,
