One of the best free Flangers!

Hi,

This simple little stripped down beaut is a perfect flanger, what it lacks in GUI it more than makes up for in quality!

With only a few sliders on it's back, this plugin allows the user create a fast and effective flange that gets right to the point in a matter of minutes.

You can get the classic jet flange effect 'center cancel' and fat additive flanges. You get audio frequency sweep rates and works as it's own kind of distorter, if you like that sort of thing!!

Here's the download link: Flanger2

Made by the lovely airwindows, worth a flick through the freebees page as well, as I'm sure you will find some gems!


Happy Flanging :)
