Similarity
citedBlended 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. Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.

Description

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.

The SolidGoldFX Oblivion is a deep, multi-mode analog-voiced flanger built around four independent delay lines, with tap tempo, multiple LFOs and CV control. Three flange modes, Classic with a momentary thru-zero effect, Dual, and Quad, span subtle classic flange and chorus-like shimmer up to massive swooshing tsunamis of swirling texture. Three selectable LFO waveforms, an analog dry blend, and a unique per-mode lo-fi Degrade setting unlock ring-mod-like and robotic overtones beyond normal flanging. A Blend control sweeps from light, polite chorus to a full-on whirlpool of flange, while expression and CV inputs, internal dip switches and a multi-function footswitch for tap tempo, speed ramping and LFO braking make it one of the most powerful and creative flangers available for experimental and modern players.
