PastFX is a boutique pedal builder known for playful, evocative product names, and the Deluxe Elastic Mattress is the brand's flanger offering, with the whimsical naming hinting at the pedal's intended character, a bouncy, deep, spring-like sweep rather than a subtle, understated modulation. Flanger pedals in general work by mixing a guitar signal with a slightly delayed, continuously modulated copy of itself, creating the sweeping, jet-plane-like comb-filter effect the format is known for, and PastFX's boutique approach suggests a hand-tuned take on that classic sound rather than a straightforward reissue of an existing flanger circuit. Specific control layout and sweep range for this exact model aren't confirmed from available sources.
The SolidGoldFX OBLIVION is a quad-octave flanger from SolidGoldFX (Canada), delivering extreme, multi-voice flanging with four independent LFOs for swirling, intense modulation effects. The OBLIVION pushes flanging to its limits with four simultaneous LFO-driven voices for jet-plane flanging and psychedelic modulation effects at SolidGoldFX Canadian boutique quality.
