Catlinbread STS-88 Flanger/Reverb...

After having acquired more flangers than should be allowed by law, we sealed ourselves away in the
laboratory to study the nuts and bolts of the effect. What emerged was the STS-88, a love letter to the
flanger. Our development sector contains units of all types, from the ubiquitous Boss HF-2 and EHX
Electric Mistress to more exotic pieces like the Effectron ADM256 and MXR Flanger/Doubler. In one late
night frenzy of pedal swapping, we discovered that enveloping a flanger in a cavernous reverb really did
the trick. Finding that this pristine combination suffered at the hands of extraneous noise, we embedded
a very gentle noise gate to stifle inherent guitar hiss and LFO clock noise. The result is an extremely
musical flanger that sounds like an extension of your own instrument, but it can also fuel up and take off
when a little dirt of any kind is applied beforehand.

DEPTH: Controls the amplitude of the LFO. Turn knob clockwise for a more intense flange sound, and
counter-clockwise for less.

MIX: Controls the wet/dry mix. Turn knob clockwise to hear more effect and counter-clockwise to hear less.

RATE: Controls the rate of the LFO from 0.077Hz to about 6Hz. Turn knob clockwise for a faster LFO and
counter- clockwise for slower. It’s essentially the pulse of your flange.

REVERB: Controls the length of the reverb trails. Turn knob clockwise for a longer lasting reverb, and
counter-clockwise for shorter.
