Hey guys! I love both of you and the content you all put out and I will never stop enjoying it it, but I wanted to share something and hopefully you all see this. Now I know in the grand scheme of things my opinion doesn’t matter and you all are going to and should do what’s best and right for you guys- and there’s nothing wrong with that whatsoever. I just wanted to say I first found you guys years ago with no to little knowledge of pedals, pedalboards, and the like and I can now attribute a large portion of my knowledge to you guys. From your videos, you have equipped me with information that’s actually been able to help a lot of my friends with their music and effects questions and also with purchasing equipment that best suits them- which is a huge deal. I just wanted to tell y’all please don’t stop making informative videos that really go in depth about how pedals, amps, and guitars work and how they all intermingle with each other. You guys really are a valuable resource whether you think so or not and you both are truly making an impact in people’s lives- at least in my life. Thank you both so much and I hope you all have a blessed holiday season!!!
Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment - we genuinely appreciate it! Without you fine folks, this show is nothing, so thank you again for the kind words and feedback!
same story for me InLostMotion. I came to TPS a few years ago to watch the vid on Pedal Order. I went from 4 pedals to 14 in a year and gained a ton of knowledge from these guys. went back and watched all past eps and haven't missed one since.
This might explain it better. I was messing around with Flanging/Phasing in 1967. Michael Dacre Barclay of Decca Records showed me how to get it on a mono domestic tape recorder. It simply involved putting a shiny piece of plastic (i.e. slippery) over the erase head - in order that one can record and playback at the same time. Now once you've recorded the unaffected bit of music that you want flanged/phased you introduce the mic adjacent to the speaker that the music is playing back through. In other words you are recording from the speaker the music playing back on the same piece of tape. By moving the mic a short distance back and towards the speaker the effect is made and recorded on to the original dry piece of music. No pedals of this existed anywhere then. Great fun! I was sixteen at the time and working at Decca (where I was also a pal of Mike Vernon) it felt like being at the centre of the universe. Cheers, Pete.
Well, I've never liked the sound of flange, certainly never owned a flange pedal, but you guys are likely the ONLY two gents I'd watch talk about them for an hour, and with a massive smile on my face. Thanks as ever guys.
Hi, guys. The Komorebi (木漏れ日) is pronounced with long O's. The Re has a long A sound, as in "ray". Finally, the Bi is a long E, as in "bee". Komorebi means "sunbeams" in Japanese and that is, in fact, what the kanji spells out between the knobs. Greetings from Tokyo. ❤️ Think sunlight streaming through a forest canopy and you've got the meaning. [ Edit to add: I have an early 2000s analog Maxon FL301 reissue flanger that I love to bits. Dialling back the width and regen and putting a Danelectro Tuna Melt tremolo behind it is pretty freaking tasty. ]
Good lord- the komorebi is amazing- wow. The part with the Harlot into the komorebi is just so deep, rich, animated, and interesting sounding- simply amazing.
Here’s an idea- make your own flanger using the wetter box. Flange is pretty simple to make using other pedals after splitting and recombining signals. You could even use a master sequencer pedal to sync up multiple modulation effects. The man made his own pedalboard version of a tape echo, for Pete’s sake!
Dog ears. Mick, this stuff doesn't come though CZcams. I mostly listen to these though a Focusrite interface and studio monitors and when you jump up to "fix" something, I've often no idea why.
@@stevekirby7333 It's usually input gain on the recording channel strips. Conscious of clipping. Otherwise it might be subtle once recorded but in the room just makes things about more comfortable and flowing for me and Dan. I think a lot of people maybe don't realise these shows are basically one take, playing and everything. It really helps to be comfortable and enjoying the sounds. We're both the kind of guitarists who play so much worse when we don't like the sound!
This episode is yet another great example of gorgeous things that make one want to pick up and play. Enthusiasm and experimentation for the win. Thanks guys!
That taste of Thropy just opens up the sound and makes it huge. What a tone! Flangers have always come closest to the slow Leslie sound for me when you want to play Badge or something. And several of these do that. But the Thorpy has a sort of Dimension sound to it that just fills up the room. Dan, if you want to accentuate the leading edge or transient of a note, try turning the pick to the side as Matt Schofield does. With a square edged pick (as opposed to a nicely smoothed one, or worn) I've found that I can get closer to that dynamic thing that he does where notes jump with extra thickness as well as in level. Not the same as a leading edge "chirp" but just that grab you by the collar "listen to this note" thing that he has.
TPS would release a flanger episode the day after I rearrange my board and swap the flanger for a chorus... I thought I was set for a while but of course now I want to swap back. It never ends! Thanks guys :)
I went for the Komo-Rebi in the end, because it offers a wide range of tones from 'normal' to 'insane' (it does a nice CE-2 type chorus as well on subtle settings), it works well with synths, and it looks f***ing cool...
I completely get where Dan is coming from here. Once you find *your flanger* it bleeds into your soul, let alone your sound, & trying to find a replacement/alternative is a bastard of a struggle.
Big thumbs up from me on the Thorpy flanger. I’m with Mick in that the blend control solves probably the main issues I have with this type of modulation. Dan putting the dial on 9 o’clock sounded immense!
For a long time I could not understand why anyone would use a flanger. I had tried a couple but did not find them useful. After your previous episode on flangers I decided to get one again and then I realized I had been doing it all wrong. On a flanger, the typical pedal approach (start with all knobs at noon, then all of them on full) does not work. No: with a flanger you set all of the pots conservatively and start to raise only one of them past noon. A much easier approach to a good sound. Once you learn that you realize that the flanger is one of the most powerful effects there is. Anything from a doubling type of sound to a chorusy sound to a jet plane swoosh and beyond. I really love mine now, thanks to your show.
Flange is my favorite effect also. Thank Dan for sharing you hunt for your perfect flanger. I lean your way, crystalline with no jet. I always enjoy yours and Mick’s journeys. And a belated Happy Birthday.
Can I ask - Which one is more Andy Summers-like? I am looking for a: chimey, shimmering, chorusy Flanger? Appreciate any input. ( currently using the E-Lady)
I don’t think I have ever had a flanger on my board maybe this video shall change my mind. Maybe this sound will make a come back. Lol ...... I kid because I love . You guys know that ;) looking Forward to the video as always
When I first got into That Pedal Show what hooked me were the let's find the best Big Muff/Klon/tape Delay shows. What you have gone on to do is fantastic, it is however wonderful revisit the single pedal format show. Loved this one. When you did the Big Muff show, I got Muffroom Cloud (as it was). When you did the Klon show, I got the Tumnus, then an Archer and then a real Klon. From the last of these shows I managed to get hold of a real Mistress. I see the Camoflange being ordered on day one. My wife is not a fan of this show! Keep up the good work.
As usual, QUALITY content! Well done!! I’ve never considered how Flange might punch up my playing. Really fascinating stuff. Glad I watched even though flange wasn’t on my radar... now it’s a MUST HAVE!!! Many thanks! Cheers!
I completely agree with your appreciation of a more subtle use of effects, particularly time effects. Just a slight bit of flange to add, as you say, “shimmer”, really works for me, so much more than the “Here’s a flanger on”, sound. Same for delay. chorus, tremolo, etc., in so many instances. I have had the TC Electronics, Stereo Chorus, Pitch Modulator and Flanger (black box with attached power cord) on my board since the early ‘90s when it was considered to be the absolute best chorus, etc., pedal. I expect that you guys are quite aware of it. In my opinion, it still provides the most musical chorus and flanger and is unmatched by anything since.
I just want to brag on how brilliant of a designer Nick Thorpy is and what a wonderful addition to my lineup the camoflange is. I can’t wait to try some more of his products and love that he is working with a former designer for lovetone.
Idk how but you guys are posting videos about the specific things that I’ve trying to figure out lately and they’re posting just as I’m thinking about them. Most notably the recent EL84/Vox video, as I’m searching for a Vox style amp, and now a video about searching for an Electric mistress style flange as I am looking for one... it’s like you are reading my minds 😂
I have not seen the video yet, but....Has Dan found his ultimate Flanger Pedal? NOO!! There´s no way to do that hahaha, the Pedal Journey is endless. Greetings from Spain, I love your channel!
The Thorpy Camoflange is rightly named and is the most versatile flanger that does what all the other pedals can do and i wish my stereo electric flanger had a wet/dry blend control ! At times i need a much less wet flange sound !
This was the first time I actually understood what a regen/ feedback knob does on a flanger!! Hearing it described like a self oscillating delay and then being able to hear it played slowly like that clicked in my analog delay loving brain. Now I need a flanger! Also have been tempted by a guy locally selling a left handed Supro, I think hearing that one sold it for me. My wallet is going to hate me after this episode...
Dan, Matsushita and Panasonic are the same company. Panasonic was more of a brand (primarily for Non Japanese markets) because they couldn't use the "National" name they were using in Japan. Matsushita was often the name used on components or OEM items (like 3.5" Floppy drives) At some point they just rebranded to Panasonic. So those Panasonic chips might just be rebadged or variants.
Last year you guys made a really big deal about the Earthquaker Pyramids at an event and shot a few videos. You mentioned that you may have found Dan's new flanger back then and that you would be getting one when you got back home so you could spend more time with it on the show. We haven't seen it again, are there plans to bring it back?
Pyramids is a beast. Has so much though I wish I could midi (or foot) switch through the presets. It kills in a stereo rig. Covers a few flavors of flange and all chorusing needs for me, for now.
Awesome as usual! I might have to look into getting the Thorpy when it comes out. I agree with Mick about the issues of most flangers being either too harsh or not ideal tones.
Halfway through this deep-dive into flangers (educational as usual) I noticed your That Pedal Show anagram t-shirts. That's awesome. Help Thaw Toads indeed 🤘. Gonna go find out what flanger Dan has been using recently. Cheers, y'all.
Phenomenal show as usual gents! I recently acquired an identical Supro Jamesport on a lark. I must say I’ve been completely taken aback by the character of that unassuming goldfoil. Seems it also has a rather unique interaction with the volume knob. Very cool!
Komo rebi all the way. Everyday. And just imagine controlng the parameters via CV.. This is something that we guitarits never play with. The possibilities are endless.
Very interesting! Too bad though you didn't include the Alexander Pedal f13 Neo Flanger. It also does the Blend/Mix and a lot more in a very compact Size.
When I put my Mistress on top of certain amps I can get different rhythmic patterns from it depending on the knob settings. I’ve recorded some of ‘em and then used the recordings in making beats. 😇
Flanger is an effect I get sick of pretty quickly, but I loved the sound of the EHX with the Harlot through those amps, and I can see some real potential in the camoflange.
Well then, I just checked the prices on all the Mooer Spark pedals I've been watching on Reverb for the past two years, and it looks like the world agrees with Mick. Not a budge up in price on any of them. I've owned a few Mooer pedals, and sold them on pretty quickly. They're good as an exploration into a new type of effect because they don't cost much, and they get flipped a lot, so you won't take a bath.
Thank you both for a most enjoyable lunch time. Just so you know, I always wear a TPS t-shirt on a Friday. The fact my coffee is in a TPS mug does not relate to the day of the week.
Been eagerly awaiting this one, I too have an original 18v mistress that I love, but it's so fragile and finicky, excited to see how these others stack up
For some reason I like hearing flanger with a guitar but I just don't get that much into playing it. The simple reason is most likely that I just haven't figured out how to use it well :-) Oh well, my DECO gives me all the flange I need for now! And that folks is why I keep watching these shows even if a particular theme is not in my wheelhouse. I know I'm going to learn something from these fine gents!
I’ve had my 59 American Vintage Strat for several years now. Love it. I really think it’s as close to a Fender custom shop in terms of quality that you can find for the money
Well, I was really stoked to see this video for I am also a flange junky. However, I felt like you didn't spend nearly enough time finding sounds with the Thorpy that sound as inspiring as the ones you got with the Dreadbox. We've been talking for weeks about this flanger, and I feel like Dan kinda let Mick hit the "wrap-it-up" button too soon on that one. Hopefully you'll bring it back and just do a good playthrough of the Camouflange. At first I was like Awww Yeahh! And then I was like wait what?! IT was just starting to get good! In the meantime, I'll go listen again...love you dudes! Aloha
RetroSonic has a v2 that is Brighter & supposedly near-Spot-on to the Mistress? ( also ) PastFX has two more Mistress-clones: The Reticon ( tons of controls ) and the Elastic Mattress??? Update: Ordered a Retro Sonic.
I noticed the Komo Rebi, which apparently is a delightful Japanese word describing the effect of sunlight streaming through the leaves of trees, has a unique 15v power supply, how did you, or would you, handle that on a professional pedalboard?
Great show guys. Slightly off topic: dan, do you have some photos over the years of the wear and tear to red? I know there's a chip in there that you're not happy about but over all its looking well well loved. Would be great to see a 5-10 min vlog on that guitar (and include the time you lost it :P)

I sold all my pedals and got a Helix, but I still watch this because you’re nice and entertaining. :)
Truly awesome, entertaining and informative videos - I went from 1 to 10+ overdrives!

Barney Kessel over there....Barney Rubble. I laughed hard! Thanks!
Thanks mate! instead of getting the Thorpy I think I'll just find a cheap walkman and a plastic bag laying about...NOT!
Such a cool story!

Komorebi in Japanese means 'sunlight filtering through tress'
It’ll be nice once Thorpy has tackled every type of pedal. His stuff is so good
Yep!
but does he make a distortion to rival the REVV G4?
One (dual mode) overdrive.
One delay.
SEVEN FLANGERS!!
Alright got my next board sorted.
Dan’s face during this entire episode!! Like a kid in a candy store! So inspired...

Nice. These are nice images! Thank you Trane!
Dan has a knack for finding the sweet spots for every pedal.
I will never get tired of flanger episodes. Great job as usual guys
Ibanez mini delay is the unsung hero of this episode
Wow that Dreadbox sounds awesome, what a fun sound! And yeah Dan, the Thorpy is killer too! Love your enthusiasm!
when mick took out the weird guitar and just went off on a flange journey,that was really cool, you two should def use that sound for a new song!!
Good lord- the komorebi is amazing- wow. The part with the Harlot into the komorebi is just so deep, rich, animated, and interesting sounding- simply amazing.
The Dreadbox was my personal fave of the flangers... but that Kingsley, oh my goodness.
Komorebi “Sunshine filtering through the leaves of trees” This is Me on every conceivable level ❤️ Please have one sent over immediately 🙏
“Is the flange 100% wet?”
I spat my coffee out at this point
JosEvan888 Flange is one of the all time greatest words ever. Makes me snigger every time I hear it.
Bahahahaha... TPS is branching out to comedy! Keep your flanges nice and wet for us, boys!
Had to google that one. Oh well...
It is the sole reason my first pedal was the Boss BF-2 and it is purple! I still use it after nearly 20 years and it rules!
Here’s an idea- make your own flanger using the wetter box. Flange is pretty simple to make using other pedals after splitting and recombining signals. You could even use a master sequencer pedal to sync up multiple modulation effects. The man made his own pedalboard version of a tape echo, for Pete’s sake!
Mick - I think there's a bit too much top end on the orange......Dan's Face: yeh mate whatever!!
Dog ears. Mick, this stuff doesn't come though CZcams. I mostly listen to these though a Focusrite interface and studio monitors and when you jump up to "fix" something, I've often no idea why.

@@theredfaceofficial It does, yes…and it’s a noisy pedal.
Hard to beat Thorpy. Everything from him that I've heard has been amazing.
I want that Camoflange! Wow! Thorpy’s pedals are great and this one sounds like the best one yet!
I completely get where Dan is coming from here. Once you find *your flanger* it bleeds into your soul, let alone your sound, & trying to find a replacement/alternative is a bastard of a struggle.
Big thumbs up from me on the Thorpy flanger. I’m with Mick in that the blend control solves probably the main issues I have with this type of modulation. Dan putting the dial on 9 o’clock sounded immense!
You have forever changed the way I think about flanging. Dreadbox Komo Rebi is very cool. Very, very cool.
Best intro duet ever! Who knew Mick could play pedals as well as he plays guitar?
15:48 amazed by Dan’s fingerpicking

31:17 - This tone is a very "Tool" esque sound. I love it!
Hah!
First time of reading a reference to TOOL on tps! And right as I was thinking, "Man... Opiate!"
Bought the Retro Sonic and Camoflange because of this episode. The Hartman is incredible also!!!!
Can I ask - Which one is more Andy Summers-like? I am looking for a: chimey, shimmering, chorusy Flanger? Appreciate any input. ( currently using the E-Lady)
Hmmmm, why is the CamoFlange Dan's favorite?
1. It has lots of knobs
2. It has flashy green lights
3. It's really shiny!
:-))
Great show gents! Thanks for the update on Dan’s quest for the ultimate Flanger (replacement for the Mistress). Sounds great!!

Got one used too. Very usable kinda versatile, dirt cheap
Befor on the left and After on the right would give a huge Guitar part😉🤘

Halfway through this deep-dive into flangers (educational as usual) I noticed your That Pedal Show anagram t-shirts. That's awesome. Help Thaw Toads indeed 🤘. Gonna go find out what flanger Dan has been using recently. Cheers, y'all.
As long winded as these guys are, they're absolutely right. I love flanger and I'm definitely buying this pedal.
One hour of flanger? I need a coffee for this!
Coffee is required for all pedal shows. Like popcorn with a movie.
Just watch out for the wetter flanges , they cause coffee spatter.
@@planetpjr argh, I can't watch the Jerry. Apologies in advance.
Came here for the Flanger, left wanting the Harlot
It is great! Mine arrived April 2019. Sold my original Marshall Bluesbreaker Mki and nearly no worse off on the pocketbook.
Lol...same here, sounds awesome.
Late to this but instantly "Came here for the mistress, left wanting the harlot" came to mind.
That's what I was thinking.
But I love the mistress
i think the Roxanne is hard to beat...
Phenomenal show as usual gents! I recently acquired an identical Supro Jamesport on a lark. I must say I’ve been completely taken aback by the character of that unassuming goldfoil. Seems it also has a rather unique interaction with the volume knob. Very cool!
uhhhh.. that mick's prs again after a long time.. love it!
Looking at your shirt Mick, I think you missed out on "T Shaped Owl Hat"
Dan, don't know if you've tried it, but that new Wampler Terraform has an AMAZING Flanger!!
Komo rebi all the way. Everyday.
And just imagine controlng the parameters via CV..
This is something that we guitarits never play with.
The possibilities are endless.
You will need a MIDI master with an LFO and a Molten Voltage CV-Sync.
Micks riffing with the Supro was extraordinary. What a great sound
Thank you!
Very interesting! Too bad though you didn't include the Alexander Pedal f13 Neo Flanger. It also does the Blend/Mix and a lot more in a very compact Size.
Really dig that Black Strat! Thanks for the post.
When I put my Mistress on top of certain amps I can get different rhythmic patterns from it depending on the knob settings. I’ve recorded some of ‘em and then used the recordings in making beats. 😇
If the beginning of the show throws a big smile on your face it´s gonna be a good show!
Flanger is an effect I get sick of pretty quickly, but I loved the sound of the EHX with the Harlot through those amps, and I can see some real potential in the camoflange.
On a second point thanks Dan for the technical lowdown on flangers, that will help building my own on the Zoia.
Well then, I just checked the prices on all the Mooer Spark pedals I've been watching on Reverb for the past two years, and it looks like the world agrees with Mick. Not a budge up in price on any of them. I've owned a few Mooer pedals, and sold them on pretty quickly. They're good as an exploration into a new type of effect because they don't cost much, and they get flipped a lot, so you won't take a bath.
Thanks again for another wonderful show. I look forward to Friday evenings !
Thank you both for a most enjoyable lunch time. Just so you know, I always wear a TPS t-shirt on a Friday. The fact my coffee is in a TPS mug does not relate to the day of the week.
Loved that jazzy Jingle Bells at 7:52 !! Well done Mick !! :D :D
Been eagerly awaiting this one, I too have an original 18v mistress that I love, but it's so fragile and finicky, excited to see how these others stack up
Wow! I'm definitely getting a camoflange! That's great stuff! Sounds awesome!😃
Is it better to fuzz out than it is to flange away?
LOVE seeing the Tremlord in there!!!
I didnt know I am THAT interested in pedals, watched the whole thing and I will definitely stay for more
For some reason I like hearing flanger with a guitar but I just don't get that much into playing it. The simple reason is most likely that I just haven't figured out how to use it well :-)
Oh well, my DECO gives me all the flange I need for now!
And that folks is why I keep watching these shows even if a particular theme is not in my wheelhouse. I know I'm going to learn something from these fine gents!
I’ve had my 59 American Vintage Strat for several years now. Love it. I really think it’s as close to a Fender custom shop in terms of quality that you can find for the money
If you've got a delay with an effects loop, try it with a flanger on a slow delay, it's beautiful
I'm still delighted that Dan mentioned a Family Guy joke a couple weeks ago. It made me really happy.
Mateus De Lima Pontual bird.
This is the nicest sounding amp combination in a while
Well, I was really stoked to see this video for I am also a flange junky. However, I felt like you didn't spend nearly enough time finding sounds with the Thorpy that sound as inspiring as the ones you got with the Dreadbox. We've been talking for weeks about this flanger, and I feel like Dan kinda let Mick hit the "wrap-it-up" button too soon on that one. Hopefully you'll bring it back and just do a good playthrough of the Camouflange. At first I was like Awww Yeahh! And then I was like wait what?! IT was just starting to get good! In the meantime, I'll go listen again...love you dudes! Aloha
The way Dan uses flange reminds me a bit of how Albert King used phase shifting, very cool!
Often, the best part of my week.
RetroSonic has a v2 that is Brighter & supposedly near-Spot-on to the Mistress? ( also ) PastFX has two more Mistress-clones: The Reticon ( tons of controls ) and the Elastic Mattress??? Update: Ordered a Retro Sonic.
I noticed the Komo Rebi, which apparently is a delightful Japanese word describing the effect of sunlight streaming through the leaves of trees, has a unique 15v power supply, how did you, or would you, handle that on a professional pedalboard?
Great show guys. Slightly off topic: dan, do you have some photos over the years of the wear and tear to red? I know there's a chip in there that you're not happy about but over all its looking well well loved. Would be great to see a 5-10 min vlog on that guitar (and include the time you lost it :P)
