PRS Wind Through the Trees
PRS · pedal
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.
