Rocktron Blue Thunder - Manual (Page 28)

Flanging splits the input signal into two individual delayed signals (Voice 1
and Voice 2), then modulating the delayed signals so that, when summed back
with the direct signal, phase cancellations will occur at some frequencies while
peaks in the response will occur at others.
To access this function you must first press the “EDIT” button to enter into the
“EDIT MODE” and turn the FUNCTION SELECT knob to the right until
***FLANGER*** appears on the display.
The PARAMETER SELECT control will allow you to access these FLANGER
parameters.
The PARAMETER ADJUST control allows you adjust the selected parameter:

The FLANGER I/O parameter determines whether the flange circuit is active or bypassed for the
current preset. Select IN to engage the flanger circuit. Select OUT to bypass the circuit.
The FLANGER OUTPUT 1 parameter determines the overall volume of Voice 1.
The FLANGER PAN 1 parameter allows you to pan Voice 1 to the left or right channel.
The FLANGER DEPTH 1 parameter adjusts the amount of modulation of Voice 1. Lower DEPTH
settings produce more subtle effects, while higher settings will result in a more drastic effect.
The FLANGER RATE 1 parameter determines the speed at which Voice 1 is modulated.
The TIME1 parameter determines the multiplier by which a new modulation rate will be selected
for the RATE 1 parameter when the Tap Delay feature of the Blue Thunder is used. (See Section 7
page 42: "Tap Delay" for more information on the Tap Delay feature.)
The FLANGER OUTPUT 2 parameter determines the overall volume of Voice 2.
The FLANGER PAN 2 parameter allows you to pan Voice 2 to the left or right channel.
The FLANGER DEPTH 2 parameter adjusts the amount of modulation of Voice 2. Lower DEPTH
settings produce more subtle effects, while higher settings will result in a more drastic effect.
The FLANGER RATE 2 parameter determines the speed at which Voice 2 is modulated.
The TIME2 parameter determines the multiplier by which a new modulation rate will be selected
for the RATE 2 parameter when the Tap Delay feature of the Blue Thunder is used. (See Section 7
page 42: "Tap Delay" for more information on the Tap Delay feature.)
The FLANGER REGENERATION parameter determines how much of the the delayed output
signal is fed back into the input. More regeneration produces a more pronounced "jet airplane"
type of effect.
