    So, I’m getting money for Christmas, and chances are, I’ll have enough to buy a Flanger Hoax. Yes, I’m into weird trippy blues-rock stuff (don’t laugh), but what are your thoughts? I have a NYC BMP and a Micro QTron after it, and though the setup is very nice, it just ain’t crazy enough. I heard it can do anything from tremolo to fuzz to octave-fuzz to warbly leslie stuff, and I want it all :)
    So, opinions?

    Thanks for the thread!
    And are there any blank knob layout pics for EHX pedals, ‘cos it would be cool to have lots of them around to write down settings…

    They were brought up, I don’t think anything ever panned out. It would be nice to have these though.

    I’ve seen Flanger Hoax templates before, I think in that thread

    Put the BMP & Micro Q before…

    BTW: preset-sheet by the graphic designer himself… on the H-C forum. (Kudos, Anthony!)

    I rarely use both QTron and the BMP simultaneously, but when I do, putting the QTron after the BMP results in some very cool noisy sounds, so I like it that way…
    And thx for the pic!!!

    Because of the word ‘flanger’ i seem to have overlooked the hoax until now (i’m not a fan of flangers for some reason), but now i definitely want to check it out :D

    Yes, I’m using the Flanger Hoax more and more for my phaser needs. You can get the most unique phaser sounds that no other device could ever replicate – very luscious!

    I would go Q-Tron -> Muff -> Hoax.

    The HCFX thread is great place to start. I just got the Hoax myself and will be printing out lots of copies of the blank templete and recommended settings from that thread.

    Enjoy!

    I got this last Christmas and I can still say I don’t know how to use it. However, I can still coax some wild sounds out of it. I was even able to get an auto-wah sound from it, amongst the sounds you listed. It could benefit from a better manual, though.

    I have worked a lot with the Flanger Hoax since it was a prototype until now. It is truly one of the most exciting modulation instruments ever built. I programmed synthesis for virtually every keyboard company, as am independent programmer, from the early 80’s until the early 2000’s. The approach that you have to take with the Flanger Hoax is very similar. Not is synthesis but in how relevant paramiters interact to create the summed sound. It is definitely not a box that you open and then run with it. You have to invest time and you definitely have to write each program down because a minor error in setup can take you to a whole new planet OR another great sound. You invest some time and you will be rewarded big time.

    You just need to learn the interaction. I will try to find some of my old program sheets and put them up but give me a little time because my studio has changed. I use it for one shot sound design in film noow. I tend to never save sounds once I am certain I will not need it any further.

    What a creative tool for anyone interested in unique, musical and colorful modulations. My sonic favorite here and I love almost all of our designs. The sonic potential never gets old and that means a lot when you do not want to follow the same old crowd.

    I`ll gratefully accept that statement as an early christmas present…
    Thanx, Rick!

    Have a nice one yourself, and a prosperous new year.
