I was looking through some effects sites last night and it seems that aside from some uber exotic synths and modulators, there really is nothing left for me to try. I don't have a flanger but I can come real close by combining a chorus and a phaser. I was thinking of messing around with a ring mod and or synth but it's a pretty steep price to pay just for amusement. What does the Crowther Prunes and Custard do?
the P&C is an awesome, envelopey, screaming, bumbling distortion kind of thing. Man, I've tried to describe this on a couple of ocassions and it's just not possible. Suffice to say that if you're into mega-disto sounds, you need one - trust me. Some suggestions; have you checked out the EH site? visit frostwave and check out the Blue Ringer (and others) maestro filter sample and hold (same as robotalk)
while you are at the frostwave site, check out the sonic alienator. on the cheap side of things, check out the ibanez pm7 phase modulator, its a pretty nifty little gadget, very sci-fi-esque. or this: http://www.rastopdesigns.com/effects.htm#bassenvelopedistortion
MuRF MF-105 http://www.moogmusic.com/detail.php?main_product_id=111 If you get one, please make some samples!! lol
I can find next to zero information regarding the ehx flanger... if they want to sell it they really should put more info on the site..
If you go to diystompboxes or harmonycentral forums and search "hoax" there is a lot more info out there. ~ Charlie
