Catalinbread's development sector includes flanger effects of all types, from the ubiquitous Boss HF-2 and EHX Electric Mistress to more exotic pieces like the Effectron ADM256 and MXR Flanger/Doubler. While researching the pedals, they found that the combination of flanger with "cave" reverb is truly exceptional. They also found that this pristine combination was susceptible to external noise, so they put in a very subtle noise-gate to suppress the guitar's natural hum and LFO clock noise. The result is an extremely musical flanger that sounds like an extension of your own instrument, but can fly off into unexplored sonic textures.
