This lends itself to some confusion, but if you know the subtle differences between each, you can use them more effectively in your recordings and mixes!<\/p>\n<h2>What are the differences between flanger vs. phaser?<\/h2>\n<p>Flangers and phasers use different means to achieve a similar end. This is why they can sound alike, or wildly different depending on the settings. At their core, both effects are created by delaying the signal slightly and mixing it back in with the dry signal.<\/p>\n<p>The effect they produce is sort of a swirling, whooshing sound. As a matter of fact, <a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/rocks-greatest-eruption-how-eddie-van-halen-revolutionized-the-guitar\/\">Mr. Eddie Van Halen<\/a> famously used both an MXR Phase 90 and MXR Flanger pedal in his rig.

This probably doesn&#8217;t do much to clarify!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/5-quick-modulation-mixing-tricks\/\">5 Quick Modulation Mixing Tricks<\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/best-flanger-pedal\/\">The 10 Best Flanger Pedals to Add Some Sweep to Your Sound<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>What is a flanger?<\/h3>\n<p>The term &#8216;flanging&#8217; dates back to the &#8217;60s with tape machines. It was a technique created using two synchronized tape machines playing back the same audio. During playback, an engineer would press down slightly on the outer edge (flange) of one of the tape machine&#8217;s reels.<\/p>\n<p>This made a short delay. And as the tape machine gradually re-synced with the other, you&#8217;d hear that flanger sound. This technique was called &#8216;tape flanging.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>The key takeaway between flanger vs. phaser is that they both shift a copy of the dry signal to create their effect. A flanger splits the signal into two, and one is time-delayed and then put back on top of the original. The delayed duplicate actually produces comb filtering, or peaks and troughs in the frequency spectrum to create the effect.<\/p>\n<p>The most &#8216;pleasant&#8217; flangers are set somewhere under 15 ms delay (very short). The &#8216;swooooosh&#8217; sound of a flanger happens when the delayed signal has its time varied in a cycle, up and down, by setting the rate.<\/p>\n<h3>What is a phaser?<\/h3>\n<p>Again, there&#8217;d be no flanger vs. phaser discussion if the pair weren&#8217;t very similar. However, phasers do work a bit differently than flangers.<\/p>\n<p>A phaser duplicates the original signal, just like a flanger. But instead of delaying the duplicate, it passes the signal through an all-pass filter. An all-pass filter doesn&#8217;t change the frequency content of the signal; alternatively, it introduces a phase shift around a set frequency.<\/p>\n<p>Adding another all-pass filter creates a single notch in the signal \u2014 one tooth of a comb filter. Phasers place several all-pass filters together to create numerous notch filters. Generally speaking, phasers sound more gentle than flangers because they don&#8217;t produce comb filtering quite as drastically.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/in-phase-vs-out-of-phase\/\">In Phase vs Out Of Phase<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Flanger vs. Phaser Summarized<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Flanger<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Duplicates the original signal<\/li>\n<li>Time delays it by somewhere under 20 ms; varies the delay time in a constant cycle<\/li>\n<li>Mixes it back with the dry signal<\/li>\n<li>The short, variable delay creates comb filtering, or notches in the frequency spectrum, producing a flanging effect<\/li>\n<li>Can be wild and unpredictable based settings<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Phaser<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Duplicates the original signal<\/li>\n<li>Sends it through all-pass filters to produce a phase shift (<em>not\u00a0<\/em>a time-delay)<\/li>\n<li>Mixes it back with the dry signal<\/li>\n<li>The phase shift creates comb filtering to produce a gentler phasing effect<\/li>\n<li>Typically more predictable with a clearly repeated &#8216;swooshing&#8217; cycle<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Uses for Flanger and Phaser in Music<\/h3>\n<p>We most often associate flanger and phaser with guitar effects, but of course that doesn&#8217;t mean they&#8217;re exclusive to guitar!
