Suggest a flanger pedal

I JUST bought a TC Vortex. Just looking for something cheap that can get the Boss sound (basic) but looks better on my vanity board. I can post my thoughts when I get it....for other people reading, I see you found your guy.

What do you think of the expression control on that Orbit? Sounds interesting. Love my Timeline....just not sure if flanger can be an effect that I can justify dropping all that on....delay was, to me. I guess it depends on how evolved that make it.
 
I have had the Strymon Orbit for a while now. It's exactly what I was looking for. It will never leave my pedalboard.

Find a deal on it somewhere? Seems that price was a factor previously.

IMO, the Vortex is more versatile and better sounding than the Boss flangers.

I don't have an expression pedal, so I haven't tested it.

For me, a delay is the effect I can't justify spending a lot on. While delay is in my top two of effects (the other being flanger), it's not something I can easily incorporate into my band's music, at least not to the extent that it's worth the kind of money a Timeline costs.

Nope, got it for christmas.
