HBE Frostbite Flanger, based on the ADA Flanger with Joels magic touch, due to go on sale this summer.

Call Joel and ask him for a custom casing..... He'll hook you up! :thumbsup:
 
Any rough asking price? The effects market has been hurting for a top notch flanger that doesn't cost an arm and a leg for awhile now.
 
I dont know yet, He didnt give me alot of info, it was just a quick FYI email to let everyone know whats up......

I'll hit him up and see what it's gonna cost, but it'll probably be after the weekend before I reach him.
 
you post this over a HCEF?


the ADA is pretty popular over there, they were working on getting enough guys together to get a builder to do a clone run but don't know if they ever got it done or not?


know i'll be ready to check one out.
 
Just heard back from Joel, RETAIL price is gonna be $299, but the dealers usually run the quite abit cheaper.....


Yea, I will post this over there.... :thumbsup:
 
I love ADA Flangers! Will there be an input for an expression pedal?
 
Wow, I want one of these! ADA Flangers are the shit, and H.B.E kicks ass.

What does ADA stand for?

American Dental Association. They were too busy rating toothpaste and toothbrushes to continue building those killer flange pedals so they went out of business. That's great news for our gingivitis but not so great for our pedalboards.
 
Chubtone,


if you're into the expresion pedal thing, i've got a TZF laying around i'm wanting to move.

I am into it when I want to pretend I'm Pat Travers. I didn't even know what a TZF was, but I just researched it and found this on their website:

"Q: How will TZF sound with my rig?

A: It depends on how you have things set up. I can't stress enough how important it is to run all of your distortion/fuzz/overdrive effects BEFORE Paradox TZF, and run your amp clean. If you like to use your amp's built in distortion/overdrive, then put TZF in your amp's effects loop. If it doesn't have one, TZF will loose much of it's intensity. Rule of thumb - don't run TZF into a distortion box of any type or into a distorted amp.

If your setup is based on a distorted amp with no effects loop, Paradox TZF is definitely not the flanger for you. If you use pedals for all of your distortion needs, and run a powerful, clean amp, TZF will shine. This is true for most delay, chorus, and flanger effects."

The part in bold worries me because the ADA Flanger is killer into a single channel distorted amp :confused:

:lol: :LOL: you're better at taking things literally than i am, i read all that and turned it into want i wanted to hear!


suppose i've run it out front into a dirty amp, but don't remember the results? know i've run it with a dirt pedal in front into a clean amp with good results.

the TZF will do things that the MXR can't, like Thru Zero obviously, but for stuff like Van Halen, Maiden, etc. the MXR is a better choice. the TZF is gonna be for even more old school stuff like Jimi, Joe Walsh, and one of the Queen tunes. don't guess i knew Travers used flange, i allways thought vibe for him?


the thing that makes me not want to keep the TZF is that it has an Envelope filter knob, and even with it off it will still have little bit of that envelope sound, or atleast i never thought i could get it dialed out? think somebody with some blues in thier blood might get along with it and the sound will fit?

the thing will Jet plane like all get out if you get it set right. allways meant to run drums through, but never got around to it.
