Are there any real good VST flanger FX plugins?

[quantum7]

I'll probably just have to pick up a vintage MXR flanger, which is the one that Giorgio Moroder used on "The Chase" from Midnight Express. I still haven't found a VST flanger that can touch that intense flanger sound.......which is strange now that VST FX can compete very well with hardware.

Btw.: one great and very versatile Flanger that has not been mentioned at all yet (I think) is Valhalla's Space Modulator - and it's even free:

maybe if you tried actually describing what's wrong with the ones you've tried vs the korg, then people here could make a better recommendation. Just saying something was gud vs not gud isn't at all helpful. Otherwise, you're just going to get a list of every relevant VST in existence.

The old Audio Damage Liquid flanger was nice, true through zero flanging etc. I think it's now bundled with the other mod effects, quadmod or something?

This is still my favourite. And, yeah, I believe it is part of their general modulation plugin now: https://www.audiodamage.com/products/ad040-quatromod

Right. It also has the advantage of coming with my personal favorite Chorus plugin.

You are correct. All I can achieve is a more tamed and subtle flange with VST flangers. Both my Trident and the MXR can do a very strong, thick, and “alive” sounding flange. I apologize for a lack of a better description and technical explanation, but that’s all that comes to mind right now. I’m very happy with reverb, delay, and other VST FX, but for now though, I guess I’ll need to go with hardware if I want to achieve the type of flange sound that I am looking for now. I’m glad I started this topic though because I did learn about some flange VST’s that I wasn’t aware of...which indeed may work for other projects.

Which one? There are at least two.

There is the big rack Flanger/Doubler which comes up in auctions sometimes, but usually pretty expensive

I suspect that someone like Moroder had that rather than the guitar stomp box. That is available as a re-issue.

I have that one. I tend to use it on manual. It's only mono though.

As I said in my previous reply, the one I prefer to use is the Eventide Instant Flanger II.

I tend to prefer flanger without much of that metallic whooshing, I prefer something more subtle.

Arturia modeled the rack one, don't know how good it is.

why do ya want an eff'n flanger for?

I find the Kuassa Efektor FL3606 Flanger sounds way better than the Roland SBF-325 Stereo Flanger rack mount unit I had bought new back in the day. The Roland was much too subtle for my tastes and the Kuassa gives the exact sound I was seeking all those years ago!

D16 flanger is very nice.

[dangayle]

Antresol and the Eventide Flanger are pretty much all I need. I still haven't found anything that quite matches the sound of my old BF-2 flanger pedal though.

I wonder how the flanger in Full Bucket's Tricent sounds compared to a real Korg?

https://www.fullbucket.de/music/tricent.html

...and whether or not he can be talked into spinning it out into its own plugin?

[zerocrossing]

You really didn’t like the Arturia BL-20, eh?

[zerocrossing]

To flange.

Exactly!
