Description : Antresol is an electric mistress guitar pedal flanger. The plugin offers a wide range of parameters with independent adjustment for the right and left channels. Returning to life a classic stomp box, we created an effect that will appeal not only to guitarists, but also to instrumentalists and producers of almost any genre: whether it be rock guitar riffs or melodic synth lines, you will find that increased attention to sound details combined The flexibility offered by modern technology in Antresol makes it a perfect example of what the flanger should be used in modern times.
The original, conceived in the mid-1970s, quickly became the benchmark for flange-type effects, offering a unique rich character defined by luxuriously harmonious interacting resonances, and has since been heard in countless classic recordings. That is why D16 could not resist the opportunity to resurrect the soul of this classic in its modern incarnation in the Antresol plugin, the newest effect in the SilverLine collection!

While I did run across a story different to the following, I’m pretty inclined to stick to the first one I’d read……. how and where was the flanger idea seeded?
At Electric Ladyland Studio, engineers were dubbing Jimi Hendrix’ guitar parts onto a master reel. One of the engineers accidentally touched one of the reels, causing a slight but audible delay on that tape. The result was a shift in phase with the master deck’s signal……
The classic technique with guitar pedals working in the time domain is to split the incoming signal into two, then delaying one of those signals, such that a sweeping of the harmonics occurs. It is the time in milliseconds that distinguishes the time modulation pedals…… in ascending order of delay length:
Chorus —> Phase Shifter —:> Flanger —> Reverb —> Echo
This is how certain delay units can cover so much more than just echo and reverb…… with delay times from zero to thousands of milliseconds…… they’re not just echo boxes with extra gimmicks.
In the “real world” I heard the phase shift occur between engines on the A-10 Warthog attack plane. As we walked across a vast field to the runway at Andrews AFB outside Washington, D.C., two A-10’s in formation flew about 100′ above us, then did a banking climb. The banking caused an increase in load to one of the two engines on each plane; the turbofan with the greater load slows slightly, creating a significant shift in phase with respect to the other engine. It was literally musical, the resultant sound.
