Re: Best Flanger for Jet engine effect
Iirc the Ibanez Airplane Flanger is essenntially a A/DA and has a dedicated switch to go totally crazy. And it's pink!

Re: Best Flanger for Jet engine effect
I'd read about it on TGP awhile back but I can't seem to find it now, so take my thoughts with a grain of salt there. I've loved all the demos of them I'd heard and am certainly interested in trying one myself someday.cpeck wrote: ↑Sat May 28, 2022 6:50 pmDo you have a link for more info on the PBF inconsistency?stevejamsecono wrote: ↑Sat May 28, 2022 2:39 amThe A/DA is kind of the creme-de-la-creme option and can purportedly do both of these things well, but they can be hard to find/expensive and supposedly the PBF ones are pretty hit or miss, so I'd just skip it unless you run into one in the wild that you like.

Re: Best Flanger for Jet engine effect
Cool! I have one and like it; to be honest, though, I use the flanger in my H9 more than anything. Way more extreme.stevejamsecono wrote: ↑Sun May 29, 2022 3:40 amI'd read about it on TGP awhile back but I can't seem to find it now, so take my thoughts with a grain of salt there.

If you're going for something along the lines of Van Halen, Eddie used an MXR Phase 90.

Re: Best Flanger for Jet engine effect
I picked up an ADA pbf a year or two back to try supplant the old MXR (volume drop, wonky foot switch) but the one I had sounded thin and metallic (even at different voltages), more of the Electric Mistress family than the MXR.
I haven’t tried to get the jet plane with the MXR but it seems too chewy, swirly somehow (again: sample size of one pedal). I do remember constantly stumbling across a jet roar when I had a silver Digitech flanger way back when which was my favorite part about it.

Re: Best Flanger for Jet engine effect
Did he use both? MXR makes a EVH Flanger.
Not necessary looking to sound like Van Halen. It's for some song of mine. Something like Neil Young Psychadelic Pill song, but more intense and fast.

I've always loved the Boss BF3. Not sure if it's what your looking for, but I find its sound awesome.

Back in the day, all we knew about was the script Phase 90.

Re: Best Flanger for Jet engine effect
I always associated EVH with the gray MXR model 117, but I’m far from a Van Halen scholar

Re: Best Flanger for Jet engine effect
The Boss BF-2 has been mentioned before, that would be my option too. It's super reliable and it can do other stuff too, but its jet plane is amazing IMO.
Graham Coxon achieves some similar sounds on Blur's Girls & Boys around the 1:00 mark and multiple times throughout the song.

Re: Best Flanger for Jet engine effect
Yes. He used both on the first album. You can hear the soft sweep of the 90 on a lot of the solos and Eruption. M117 makes itself known on Ain't Talkin Bout Love.

Re: Best Flanger for Jet engine effect
I had a new Polychorus for a while. Not sure what the jet engine sound is, but it did insane noises & cheap 2nd hand.
I have nothing to offer anybody, except my own confusion?

Re: Best Flanger for Jet engine effect
Nice! I am a Boss aficionado, will had the BF-2 (or BF3) on the list. I had one 10 years ago. Didnt like it, but I was not searching for that tone at the time.Paco wrote: ↑Sun May 29, 2022 5:54 pmThe Boss BF-2 has been mentioned before, that would be my option too.

Re: Best Flanger for Jet engine effect
I was using BF-2 for jet engine effect, but the input must be distorted, on clean and crunch the effect is not that pronounced.
