Donner Jet Convolution Flanger Guitar Effect Pedal Mini Compact Size True Bypass

Product Information

My Review: Here at Guitar Lobby, we’ve watched Donner’s range of affordable effects pedals grow at an impressive rate, so it came as no surprise to us that their Jet Convolution Flanger is one of the most popular low-priced modulation offerings available.

Who is this best suited for: The Multi-Pad 100 is best suited to guitarists who are looking for a variety of effects without spending lots of money purchasing them all individually. Cancels a variety of frequencies to produce the effect. Frequency makings are evenly placed across the frequency band. It might be ugly, but if you’re looking for a compact multi-effects unit that focuses in particular on a great flanger, then this is one of the best pedals you can invest in. In Conclusion… The Toggle switch is another very interesting feature. Switch from Normal to Filter and the automatic LFO sweep is eliminated or frozen, making for a very genuine, vintage analogue sound.Who is this best suited for: If you’re considering purchasing a chorus pedal in addition to a flanger, the Stereo Electric Mistress is a great choice. You can always rely on EHX pedals to produce the finest tone-shaping effects, and the Electric Mistress lives up to their deserved reputation.

The only issue with using an amp is that it’s much harder to undo any mistakes or unwanted tones that occur in the recordings. If you would rather have the cleanest version of your electric guitar recording and flanger pedal, then using the direct input method might be your best option. For this method, you simply plug your instrument into the input on the flanger pedal and then send the output into the line-level input on the audio interface. Along with the immersive flanger, the other effects that are included consist of: chorus, vibrato, phaser, tremolo, univibe, auto-wah, and bitcrush. I think it’s impressive how Sonicake has managed to condense all of these effects into a once compact pedal, without overly compromising on individual quality. The origin of flanging is a topic of much debate amongst music historians and recording enthusiasts. Although it’s not unanimously agreed upon, the majority opinion is that guitar legend Les Paul, who famously created the popular Gibson model that shares his name, is credited with discovering the flanging effect sometime in the late 1940s or early 1950s. After spending time becoming familiar with the JF-07, I’ve come to the conclusion that the unique selling point of the product is its BDD-inspired circuitry. This makes it possible to create metallic flanger tones, which are very distinctive and different from the sounds produced by many similar devices.

They are often described as having a special vibration rumbling noise that other effects can’t produce. Any flanger fan can name his favorite pedals for the effect, but other people who have never fully tried the effect or rarely use flangers may have trouble deciding on which flanger pedal to buy. In addition to the two switchable modes, there are three rotary controls. The centerpiece knob affects the speed of the flanging and I think this would be useful for matching the pulsations to the tempo of a song. The color control adjusts the frequencies that are subjected to the effect, while the range control affects how widely its presence is felt.

The rate is for the peak and trough speed, the width dial pertains to the sweep curves and mix acts as a filter, so you can decide how apparent or subtle your effects are. Modern flanger pedals don’t utilize this method though, as it is not efficient. Instead, they rely on digital technologies to achieve the same effect delivering more versatility. In some pedals, you can even recreate the phaser and chorus effect as well. Then again the flanger is still more confusing, harder to use, and more difficult to incorporate than those effects. But if you are into psychedelic sweeping sounds you are in the right place. What Are the Functions of a Flanger Pedal?

Conclusion

The second effort from TC Electronics on this list is their tiny purple pedal. It might not be as stylish as their previous effort, but if you’re looking to save some space with an interesting take on that classic analogue sound of the 60s, then look no further. The colour scheme has already taken you halfway there anyway.
