01Overview

Flanger 117 is built around the MXR M117 Flanger, a pedal from the 1970s that became popular with guitarists and producers for its deep sweeps and analog warmth. Audiority says the plugin reproduces the sound and behavior of the original unit while adding modern options. Those include through-zero flanging, negative feedback and stereo spread. The plugin is offered in VST3, VST2, AU and AAX formats, so it can be used in most common DAWs.

Analog flanger character and sweep

The core of Flanger 117 is a BBD analog flanger simulation. Audiority describes it as an accurate reproduction of the M117's behavior, which gives the effect its characteristic modulation and depth.

The Manual, Width, Speed and Regen controls shape the sweep. Width sets how far the effect moves, Speed sets the modulation rate, and Regen adjusts the feedback that gives flanging its resonant, metallic peaks.

For more movement, the Dynamic Flanging option uses an envelope follower, so the sweep responds to the level of the incoming signal.

Modern options and workflow

Beyond the classic sound, Flanger 117 adds Through-Zero Flanging and Negative Feedback for alternative tones. Stereo Spread widens the effect across the stereo field, and Feedback Loop Drive adds saturation inside the feedback path.

Tempo Sync locks the modulation to the host tempo, which helps when the flanger needs to match a groove. A Mix control blends the processed and dry signal, and the interface can be resized to suit your screen.
