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 Elastic Mattress Flanger is a boutique analog flanger from PastFx, delivering extended, stretched flanger character with elastic, deep flanger sweeps beyond standard flanger designs. The Elastic Mattress name suggests a deep, stretchy flanger character for experimental and creative flanger applications.
The Flanger-Roo continues Simple Sam's pattern of playful, pun-driven naming, this time applied to a flanger circuit rather than the brand's phaser offering. Flanging works by mixing a guitar signal with a slightly delayed, continuously modulated copy of itself, producing the sweeping, jet-plane-like comb-filter effect the format is known for, distinct from a phaser's more subtle notch-filter swirl. As with Simple Sam's other releases, specific sweep depth, rate range, and control layout for this exact circuit aren't confirmed from available sources, though the flanger format itself is a well-understood, classic effect type.
