flanger
Comb filter pedal
A flanger is an audio effect that creates a sweeping, jet-like sound by mixing a signal with a slightly delayed copy of itself, with the delay time continuously varied.
The effect originated from pressing a finger against a tape reel's flange to slow it down.
Flangers appear as guitar pedals, rack units, and software plugins: The guitarist kicked on the flanger for the psychedelic bridge.
