Blended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement. Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.34% — somewhat different

This entry covers a Behringer flanger pedal marketed simply as The Flange, most likely referring to Behringer's The Flange With No Name, an analog circuit built as an homage to Lovetone's revered 1990s Flange With No Name, one of the most sought-after and expensive boutique modulation pedals of its era. Behringer's version brings that lush, warping analog flange character to a much more accessible price point, going beyond standard flanging to blend in elements of phaser and tremolo, with dual signal paths, an onboard effects loop, CV connectivity, and a mono-to-stereo switch giving it considerably more sonic range than a typical single-mode flanger pedal.
The Universal Audio UAFX Astra Modulation Machine is a multi-mode modulation pedal from Universal Audio (Santa Cruz, California), delivering chorus, flanger, vibrato, ensemble, and tremolo modes in one DSP-powered modulation platform modeled on classic vintage modulation hardware. The Astra Modulation Machine uses Universal Audio DSP-powered analog-modeling to deliver studio-quality multi-mode modulation pedal in a compact pedalboard format.
