Mod Flanger - Mime Time

Vintage-style stereo flanger — from gentle movement to dramatic jet sweeps.

Mod Flanger captures the character of classic tape-based flanging: sweeping comb filters, rich stereo motion, drive-driven grit, and musical feedback. A rate-syncable LFO and a 4-slot modulation matrix keep the movement evolving. Great on guitars, synths, drums, vocals or full buses.

Install

Download the Mod Flanger package from www.mime-time.com.
Copy Mod Flanger.vst3 to your VST3 folder:

- Windows: C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3 - macOS: /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3

Rescan plugins in your DAW and load Mod Flanger on any track or bus.
A Mod Flanger standalone app is also included.

Quick start

Load Mod Flanger and pick a preset such as Subtle Guitar Movement or

Jet Flanger Drums.

Set Rate and Depth for the sweep (or turn on Sync to lock to tempo).
Use Manual to position the comb and Feedback for resonance — positive brightens,

negative gives the hollow "through-the-null" sound.

Add Drive for grit, shape brightness with Tone, and clean up with Low/High Cut.
Widen with Stereo Phase, blend with Mix, and trim level with Output Trim.

Tips

Automate Manual across a phrase for classic tape "through-the-null" sweeps.
For parallel use, set Mix to 100 % on an aux bus.
If it feels harsh, ease Feedback and darken Tone / High Cut.
Check big Stereo Phase settings in mono if phase is critical.
