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 PastFx 80/A Flanger MN3007 is a vintage analog flanger from PastFx, using the classic MN3007 BBD chip for authentic vintage analog flanger character that reproduces the warm, through-zero flanger sweep of classic 1970s and 1980s analog flanger units. MN3007-based designs capture the warmth and character lost in modern digital flanger simulations.
The Subdecay Starlight is an analog bucket-brigade flanger built around the MN3209 BBD chip for authentic vintage flange character, offering far more range than a typical two- or three-knob flanger while staying easy to manage. Its standout control is a Shape knob that selects six different LFO waveforms, sine, triangle, a triangle/square mix, random, triangle step, and manual, dramatically expanding the textures available, from smooth classic sweeps to rhythmic stepped and random modulation, plus a manual mode for fixed or hand-swept flange. The analog BBD signal path gives warm, organic flanging with genuine vintage quality. It suits players wanting expressive, versatile flange tones, from subtle movement to jet-plane sweeps and experimental rhythmic textures, across rock, shoegaze, and creative modulation styles in a flexible yet approachable pedal.
