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.51% — moderately similar

The Carl Martin Classic Flange Version II is the second generation of Carl Martin's Classic Flange analog flanger pedal, with improved circuit refinements over the original. Features Rate, Depth, Manual, and Feedback controls for comprehensive flanger character adjustment. Analog circuitry produces warm, organic jet-plane flanging from subtle through dramatic modulation. Danish boutique construction. Suited for classic rock, shoegaze, and experimental genres where analog flanging is preferred.
The Catalinbread STS-88 is a flanger and reverb pedal described as a love letter to the flanger, combining deep, sinuous flanging with a complementary reverb that enhances the flanger's metallic, swooshing modulation. Controls include Depth and Rate for the flanger, plus Mix and Reverb for the wet/dry blend and reverb size. Rate covers 0.077Hz to approximately 6Hz. Includes a gentle noise gate to suppress inherent guitar hiss and LFO clock noise. Runs at 9V to 18V. Priced at $209. Built in Portland, Oregon.
