01Overview

BLEASS Flanger is an effects plugin built around a flanger engine with a stereo delay, two low-frequency oscillators and an envelope follower. The developer describes it as a rich-sounding flanger that colors sound through complex algorithmic combinations. Because each LFO can be locked to the beat, it suits both subtle, tempo-aligned movement and more aggressive rhythmic modulation on drums, synths, guitars and full mixes.

Best for

  • Rhythmic flanging
  • Subtle tempo-synced movement
  • Synth and pad widening
  • Drum and percussion effects
  • Stereo width modulation

Modulation Structure and Sound Shaping

The plugin uses two LFOs and an envelope follower to move the delay time, and the second LFO can also target delay feedback or delay width. LFO A modulates delay time and includes a stereo phase control, so the two channels can drift against each other. LFO B can be routed to delay time, feedback or width, which gives you separate ways to shape the flange.

LFO shapes include sine, triangle, sawtooth, inverted sawtooth, square and random. Each LFO has a depth control that sets its amount as a percentage of the destination value. The envelope follower adds modulation driven by the input level, with attack and release controls to shape its response.

Controls and Workflow

The input stage has a low-shelf or high-pass filter and an input gain control. The delay stage sets average time, feedback and width, with width determining the time difference between the left and right channels. A polarity switch in the mix stage lets the wet signal be added to or subtracted from the dry signal, and a dry/wet control sets the blend.

Beat sync is available for each LFO, with an offset control to set where the modulation sits relative to the beat. Free-running mode is available when you want modulation unrelated to tempo.
