Thank you for purchasing the RFX970VIBRAFLANGE Instrument flanger.The
970 is a dual operation flanger with one mode as a standard flanger effect, and
the other having the dry signal removed.This provides a more dramatic, detuning
effect useful for setting your sound apart in a mix.The 970 also sports an internal
noise gate for eliminating any noise created before the unit.Another unique
feature is the Manual control which allows you to vary the delay time, thus the
effect, manually.
Note that by turning off the Speed control and varying the Manual control, the
basic tone of your sound changes.This effect is known as "comb filtering" and is
very useful for certain unique ambient sounds.To achieve the best results from
your RFX970, please read the following manual carefully.We sincerely hope you
enjoy this product.
