SolidGoldFX Oblivion Quad Flange
Solidgoldfx · pedal
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.
