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.

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 Old Blood Noise Endeavors Flat Light is a textural flange shifter built on the Spin FV-1 chip, generating pitch shifting and delay for flanging that ranges well beyond the usual vocabulary. It offers three modes: Detune for shimmering pitch-shift flanging, Resonate for highly resonant metallic multiflange sounds, and Echo for reverb-like delayed swooshes, inducing motion wherever it sits in the chain. Four controls shape it: Rate, Depth, Shift for the extra character, and Mix from fully dry to fully wet, plus a Tilt footswitch that momentarily maximizes Rate or Shift. Its voice is distinctly digital and icy rather than warm, lacking the coloration of vintage bucket-brigade flangers, which makes it a creative, modern flanger for adventurous players and noisemakers more than vintage purists.
