Combining iconic flange, phaser, and tremolo FX all into one '90s-inspired pedal, the Behringer Flange with No Name is a modulation pedal featuring analog circuitry and a plethora of control. With the Manual, Depth, and Rate controls, you can adjust the delay offset, LFO modulation intensity, and LFO rate respectively, to achieve both common and truly wild modulation FX.
With l/p Gain, you can adjust the signal input level for an optimal signal-to-noise ratio. Reaction offers uniquely named Ying/Yang adjustment to set the amount of regeneration feedback in your delay signal, while the Action knob controls the delay path's mix level. The Mono/Stereo switch optimizes the phase of the output signal to match either mono or stereo connections. The 4-way LFO switch lets you select between four different LFO waveshape combinations for different sounds. The diverse I/O includes separate Space and Time outputs, a CV/expression input, a trigger/gate input, and an FX loop which can be disengaged with a dedicated footswitch (Loopage). Two further footswitches are provided: one for engaging/disengaging the time-based effects and one for engaging/disengaging the tremolo-like Space effect.
- TRIG: connect a mono cable halfway into the port. The negative edges of a square wave gate signal will sync the LFO.
- GATE: connect a mono cable fully into the port. This configuration functions in an opposite way to the TRIG function, with a positive DC voltage (minimum of 0.7V) freezing the LFO in place for as long as the voltage is applied. If the voltage is absent or negative, the LFO will run as normal, relative to the Rate knob setting.
For stereo setups (when both Time Out and Space(d) Out/Mono jacks are used) you should typically set the sliding switch to the Stereo position for an in-phase bypass sound. Note however that this phase optimization depends on the phase relationship of The Flange with No Name and external gear.
- Triangle–Triangle: the shape of LFO modulation for both Time and Space is a triangle wave.
- Triangle–Square: the shape of LFO modulation for Time is a triangle wave, and for Space a square wave.
