Is there anything out there that can come close to this , Anyone here do mods ? I have a real crap Behinger Ultra Flanger, possible to add massive delay/feedback to it ?

1) Your Behringer pedal is surface mount.  If you have the sort of tools and teeny tiny Indonesian grandma hands to be able to work on things that small, more power to ya.

2) I think a big part of the quality of that sound is actually the shape/waveform of the modulation.  One would have to know a lot more about the nature of the modulation before being able to duplicate it in another device/pedal.

 :icon_lol: Good One .

I also got Vintage Small Clone Chorus , which I am seeing around the net people have added the DELAY/TUNE FEEDBACK Feature to it, looks amazing.

A $24 pedal?

You don't get "massive" for $24. That would be like getting a massive 13-room house for $2,400. No, for $2,400 you can get a very nice dog-house you can crawl into and curl up inside, and may last as long as a dog.

I agree that in this mega-digital age we live in, it is absurd that "massive" audio delay costs so much. My $35 cell-phone holds an hour of audio. Less than a second would be "massive" like a cathedral; less than a minute opens-up all the tricks where I used to run tape-loops across the stage and back. But delay (reverb) -only devices and boxes are not in a rush-to-the-bottom like cellphones are.

That's why I think I'd have to say that of there's any failings in the pedal it's not fundamentally because of the cost of the components, but rather because they skimped on the *brains* to use those components effectively. There's nothing expensive about good quality flanger tech these days - what is expensive is good quality programmers to use it.

I guess in their market those programmers can still ask their price and expect to get it.

A dealer in my country sells smt PT2399s for 40 cents...Canadian.

Once I get my old blue rackmount MXR Digital Delay up and running again, it will likely have a market value of several hundred dollars, occupy way too much space,  use way too much power, and weigh too much, all with less delay time and no better sound quality than that PT2399.

I think we're doing okay.

Yeah I should of knew the DELAY wasn't going to be strong enough with that $25 Flanger  :icon_lol: .

Now like I was saying I have DISTORTION and CHORUS , Is their like a DELAY ECHO/FEEDBACK pedal that could mess with the signal strong enough ?

FAB Delay apparently gives up to 600mm.
