Behringer The Flange With No Name is an authentic clone of the Lovestone flanger pedal, also with no name.
Behringer is on fire, especially in the guitar world. This week alone saw two pedal releases: the BM-17 Frequency Box, which completes the Boogerfooger series, and the Ring Stinger.
The week isn’t over yet. Behringer is showing off another new 99€ vintage-style pedal with The Flange with no name.
Behringer Flange With No Name
The Flange With No Name is a new analog flanger pedal where Behringer promises it can do more than ordinary flangers. Like Ring Stinger, The Flange With No Name is not an original pedal but a clone/replica of a classic by Lovestone.
As mentioned in the Ring Stinger article, Lovestone is currently making a comeback with the help of ThorpyFX. Well, it’s not the perfect moment to clone their portfolio, which will probably make a comeback as well.
At its core is an analog circuit based on delay and LFO (low-frequency oscillators) with various waveforms, designed to make warm, organic modulation FX, including flangers, chorus, phase, vibrato, tremolo, and more. So it’s more of a general modulation FX than just a flanger.
You can control it with the three controls. The rate knob controls the modulation speed for slow sweeps or fast warbles. Then, depth adjusts the intensity of the flanging effect, from subtle to intense sweeps. There is also a manual control.
Besides I/P gain, you have a reaction, which controls the feedback/regeneration to the delay that shapes the flanger’s resonance and feedback. Action determines the delay path’s mix level (not a blend, so it has no effect on the straight signal).
Behringer The Flange With No Name also features three footswitches: loopage, time (selects the delay path for time-based fx), and space. Thanks to the mono/stereo switch, you can easily turn the analog processor into a stereo flanger.
On the connection side, it has a power input, a main mono output (spaced), a time out, a CV/in pedal, a trig/gate, a return/send loop input, and a main input.
First Impression
If you’re looking for a very inexpensive clone of the Lovestone (with no name), you’ll find one here. I’m curious to see if more Lovestone pedals will make it into Behringer’s clone machine.
Behringer Flange With No Name is available now for pre-order for $119/99€. It is now available from the factory, but depending on the retailer and the delivery method (sea freight/flight), it will take weeks or months.
