EFFECT TYPES: FLANGER

SPEED Knob

Use the SPEED knob to set the speed of the effect.

SHAPE/FEED Knob: Feedback Parameter

Use the SHAPE/FEED knob to control the amount of feedback (Resonance) of the short modulated delay that causes the Flanging effect. When the Feedback is set too high (above approximately 90 % to 95 %), this might introduce internal feedback, resulting in a squealing noise that in most cases is unwanted in flanging effects. Be aware of this side-effect when experimenting at high volumes. Negative values inverse the phase of the signal that is fed back to the algorithm’s input.

Negative Feedback

Positive Feedback

Although the NOVA Modulator effects have been tuned to sound great with the knobs in 12 o’clock position you should notice that setting

the FEEDBACK knob to the 12 o’clock position results in NO feedback. For traditional pedal flanging sounds, this will sound a little tame, so you should use at least some feedback.

If, on the other hand, you have selected TZF mode and are aiming for the most authentic through-zero-flange sound, you should try setting the feed-back knob exactly at the 12 o’clock position.

TIME/FILTER Knob: Flanger Delay Parameter

Typically, delay values around 5 ms are used for flanging effects, whereas Chorus effects occur with delay times around 10 ms. Short delay times give very intense, “jet engine”-type sounds. Longer delay times give more “bathroom”-type sounds.
