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 PRS Wind Through The Trees is a dual analog flanger pedal, essentially two independent flangers running together to create sounds reminiscent of wind whipping through the trees. Each flanger has its own Manual, Depth and Rate controls, with global Regeneration and Added Highs and a Mix knob that blends between the two engines, from a full 50/50 split to favoring one side or diming a single flanger for traditional single-flange tones. This gives an enormous palette, from ultra-fat double-flange and two screaming flangers pulsing against each other to subtle, tame classic sweeps. Built to a high standard with rich, musical analog voicing, it specializes in subtlety yet stays usable at every extreme, suiting ambient, psychedelic, post-rock and classic-rock players seeking premium flange textures.
