_ _ [Gb] _ _ In the 80s I tracked down a bunch of ADA [Db] flangers and also the Ibanez [Eb] Swell flanger and they
both got the closest [Ab] to getting that crazy side of it.
_ But they also sounded really good as a normal flanger, but to me I was always reaching down
I wanted both sounds, I wanted the sane and I wanted the insane and I couldn't get it
without having to reach down and tweak the pedal and you don't have time to do that while you're playing. _ _
So the simplest thing was just to get a great sounding flanger that would [E] go over the top
like that and I could switch between it with a foot switch.
_ [Gb] _ _ [Dbm] _ _
Because I've been in the science [Abm] lab we've been able to tweak [Eb] some other stuff, I've
always liked flangers [Abm] that don't have a real even _ swoop [E] to them or sweep or whatever the
what do you call that, the way the flange [Ab] moves.
I like sort of an unpredictable [Dbm] pattern, you know when it goes woo woo woo [Abm] woo woo woo
[A] and so we worked hard [Gb] to make this organic like that, it's not [Dbm] real predictable, it's
_ [E] more earthy than your standard flanger will be.
There's the sort of normal flange [G] section which will give you a chorus-y [D] flanging sound.
_ _ _ _ [G] _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [N] And there's this one which switches you into crazy mode over here. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ That is [Ab] awesome, I love that.
It's reaching down into my flange-y soul.
_ _ So I'm liking this very much, I can't wait to see it stuffed into a professional looking
box and [Abm] I can't wait to stomp on this guy.
[Eb]
This thing is awesome.
_ _ [E] _ _ _
_ [Gbm] _ _ I [Dbm] love it, I love it. _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Cm] This looks really [Bb] good.
_ Wow, that's awesome.
_ _ [Eb] _ _ [Ab] _ [Eb] All my flanging dreams have come true today with the [Bb] Airplane Flanger, _ [Eb] the AF2 _ [C] and _ [Eb] the
[Bb] knobs feel great.
It's got a big giant knob for the [Eb] takeoff.
_ Oh, I have a feeling it's going [Bb] to sound as good as it looks.
_ [Dbm]
Awesome, let's plug her [Eb] in.
_ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Dbm] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ That is [E] _ wild. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [E] One of my main tests for any pedal [Ab] is _ _ how _ [Gb] _ _ long I want to play and how well I play when
I plug into [Db] one.
Sometimes I'll plug into a pedal and I'm just not playing that well.
[E] On this one, I'm kind of happy with the way I [G] sound. _ _ _ _ _ _
[Db] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ Well, _ _ [Gb] _ _ _
_ _ this is obviously a box I'm going to have to practice with.
[B] It's got so many sounds in it, [Db] it's going to take me a little while to _ [F] figure out all
the [E] things it's got available, but damn [Gb] it's cool.
[B] Thank you so much. _ _
_ _ And enjoy [Bb] every second of being able to plug me into this amazing Airplane Flanger.
[Bbm] Start taking off or [Gbm] taxiing.
