FLANGING INTO THE FUTURE

Equal parts science fiction and science fact, the Dynaflanger Model 213 embodies the heart of flange.

Ever since intrepid 60s-era studio pioneers began manually applying pressure to their tape reels, the jet plane sound of the flanger has been an iconic part of our tonal toolkit. This is uniquely true for us here at Alexander Pedals, as our roots are firmly planted in flanging concepts. Our F.13 and F.13N pedal are benchmarks for flanging excellence.

So when it came time to design our ultimate flanger pedal, we pulled out all the stops to combine all the best tones we love from our original F.13 into the Dynaflanger 213 — weirdness and all. Explore at your own risk (or delight!)

Flanging is a really unique type of modulation effect. A good flanger can cover all kinds of territory, from metallic resonance to jet-place whoosh, and anywhere in between. We think the Dynaflanger 213 is a great flanger, and we equipped it with ten unique and useful flanger modes to allow you to express yourself.

The Leap Series improves upon our popular Neo Series platform in lots of ways, including:

Stereo audio input and output with phase correction
Low-noise direct-coupled audio path
Improved audio headroom and frequency response
FXCore DSP with more than 8 times the processing power than our previous Neo Series pedals
32 onboard presets (4 banks of 8 presets each,) all accessible on the pedal without the need for external controls.

Dynaflanger 213 features ten complete flanging engines, each with its own set of tweakable parameters.

FLANGER ENGINES:

AUTO: Deluxe automatic flanger with all of the bells and whistles. Features a wide- ranging sweep, manual control of delay time for chorus and doubling effects, and a second delay line for through-zero flanging (TZF.)

DYNA: Volume envelope controlled flanger reacts to your playing dynamics. Envelope detector features a selectable filter to accentuate highs, lows, or full-range input. Independent soft and loud sweep controls allow for fast tweaking.

DUAL AUTO: What could be better than one flanger? Two flangers, of course! Dual independent units with their own sweep generators may be locked together or set opposite from each other using RAT2. Use MONO into one amp or STER into two.

DUAL DYNA: Inspired by a certain “pillowy sound,” this mode connects twin flangers to the dynamic envelope sensor. One flanger sweeps up while the other sweeps down, with controls for the range of each. Use MONO into one amp or STER into two.

SPIRAL: FOUR synchronized flangers that each spiral up or down forever, creating an auditory illusion like a never-ending staircase. Try a very slow sweep with the RESO turned way up for maximum anxiety.

STEP: Rhythmic step-sequenced flanger with eight selectable patterns. Sounds like of like a transforming robot toy TV show. Use MIDI commands to edit Pattern 8 and save in your presets.

ECHO FLANGER: You might also call this one a poly chorus. Up to 800ms of echo wrapped into a versatile flanger, resulting in a very radio friendly unit shifter. Flange may be placed either before or after the echo for genius tom-tom sounds.

FLERB: Large hall reverb feeding into our automatic flanger. This one is great for lush dream-pop or shoegaze tones, like you might hear in a four-calendar café.

FILTER SAMPLE HOLD: Flanger feeding a randomized filter for classic 1970s “sample and hold” effects. We put this mode in the pedal for a very specific type of user, and you folks know who you are. Ship ahoy!

TURBO: You may notice that extreme settings of this pedal result in “choppy” audio, which sounded so cool we built a whole mode around it! This one runs a flanger through a variable-wave amplifier, for fade, chop, and tremolo effects. And if you don’t like the choppy audio in the other modes, turn the RESO knob down a little.

PRESETS

THIRTY-TWO built-in presets (four banks of 8) allow you to colour with all the crayons in the box. Hold the Bypass / Preset footswitch to select the next preset, or hold both to go back.

BYPASS TRAILS

Bypass trails (for modes with echo or delay) are configurable for hard bypass, full trails, or auto trails. In auto trails mode, the delay or reverb will decay normally and then seamlessly ramp to zero volume for the lowest possible operating noise. Modes without reverb or delay will behave as normal hard bypass.

EXPRESSION AND RAMPING

Seamlessly morph between different knob settings on the fly using the built-in ramp footswitch, expression pedal, footswitch, or MIDI controller.

STEREO INS AND OUTS

The input jack is selectable for standard mono or TRS stereo signal input without opening the pedal. The output jacks are usable as either mono, two-cable stereo, or TRS stereo. Connect all your Venture and Leap Series pedals in stereo with TRS cables for a neat and tidy pedalboard!

MULTIJACK

Connect an expression pedal, footswitch, or MIDI controller to this jack to add performance control to your pedal. Also compatible with our ALEXPANDER performance control switch!
