Spaceman Effects Releases the Aurora Flanger

A BBD-style flanger with two LFO types, two tape emulations, and a static comb filtering option.

Building on an acclaimed collection of analog guitar effects, Spaceman Effects has introduced the new Aurora flanger.

The Aurora is an analog BBD flanger starring a powerful modulation bus with 2 LFO types, 2 tape emulations, and a static comb filtering option. This provides several shades of flange, vibrato, lush chorus, phase, and filtery spatial effects with an unparalleled level of custom waveform animation, tonal flexibility and superb sound quality.
