How would I go about controlling the rate of a flanger effect while playing? Much like this song at 7:50 till the end.

Controlling flange rate
- Thread starter FallingUnknown
- Start date
So let's say I wanted to recreate this on a Boss BF-3. Start with the "rate" knob at 3/4 then move it up? I wish expression pedals could do this.
Not that I am aware of. The Kickdisk and Third hand allow you to use your foot to control the knob on one of your pedals. A multi like and M9 or B2.1u will have some parameters that can be controlled with an expression. I don't know off the top of my head if their flangers will do THAT sound to your satisfaction, but they should have some control over those parameters.
M9 definitely has expression control with a separate pedal. I don't know which parameters a B2.1u will control.

Well, the full mix is going through it at the time...just like the classic part in "Life in the fast lane - Eagles"
You would want a Stereo In / Stereo Out to do it in high quality....
Live is tricky, but doable with a good soundman at the helm.
No soundman?....very difficult without the right gear.

If I was going to have the effect in a song I'd prefer it to be a single instrument. I was just using that song as an example of controlled flanger effect.
with the BF unit.
so- just curious, but which flangers aside from the modfactor or some other multis have an exp in? i would like to know, as i am yet to come across any.
The strymon orbit allows assignable expression to any of the pots, very good quality build also.
You might find a pedal that you can just put a giant knob on that you could control with your foot, or use an MXR with one of the rubber boots on the knob for that purpose....(or put the boot on another pedal). Sounds tricky to me, and I'm too much of an oaf to pull it off, but you might be able to get it to work for you.....

I adjust the delay time on my Carbon Copy without the aid of fancy gizmos. I just velcro the pedal to my board at the very front, on it's side, and roll the side of my foot along the knob to create wild oscillations whilst playing.

So, try and find a flanger with a similar layout perhaps?
Or how about one of these:

If you're particularly married to a pedal like the MXR or Boss one, Analogman and some others guys do mods that let you control a pot with an expression pedal....
