Flanger Hoax LFO Modulation Wave Shape?

This question is for Ton, and any others that can help, please keep in mind that I am NOT an engineer, and any explanation that is too technical will fly right over my head:
First of all, I have a Hoax, and love it to death! The TZF sweeps are amazing! One major problem for me though, when the modulation knob is set anywhere from about 9' - 12' o'clock, the sweep of the LFO is WAY to seasick, and offset to use in most situations (I. e. classic rock, what I play in my band, church as well).  :icon_sad:
The problem is, I would love to have that "medium" sweep speed to use all of the time, gloriously passing the zero point over, and over! Is there some way to mod this, so that I could have a more traditional triangle, or "roller coaster" wave form? I really hate having to use only the slow sweep for TZF. Other wise, I love this beast, and will never sell it. :icon_biggrin:

Oh, and please don't recommend that I purchase a Paradox TZF, I can't afford something like that :icon_sad:

try this:
"Delay Mode" set to "2", or "3": this will modulate only one delay in stead of both.
Now you can use one "Delay Amount" to set a fixed delaytime, and the other to define the sweep range/depth.

Now if you set "Modulator Mode" to "DC", this will cause the Phaser to stop sweeping,
and rather be in a "manual" mode, in which the sweet spot can be set with the "Amount"-knob.

Ok, I tried that, and I now get a much smoother sounding modulation, still a little bit of that weird "bump" though. I'll keep working with it. You really built a noodle scrather with this thing. :icon_biggrin:
