I bought mine in new/used condition which came in a shaving bag and it is probably my favorite flanger because it is such an oddball self oscillating unit.
Not one, not two...but (4) new releases for Glou-Glou.
These Flanchers are analog BBD devices that go from RM/flange on shorter settings to sci-fi delays on longer settings. I think all four of these can do 80s flanging/chorus, but the FL7 & FL9 have shorter delay times for multi-purpose modulation.
Skimming through the demos, these may be the closest thing to a second coming of Lovetone. (the Coggins-designed Thorpy stuff isn't nearly as weird as its Lovetone predecessors) These are more for people who want those spaceship/ambulance sounds of the ? Flange & Ring Stinger.
cool flange incoming! i was happy to snap this up this morning because i think itll fulfill a desire ive had for the sound of my family friends' old Mistress i tried when i was 13, i was so happy with the sound and i remember just thinking about how cool it looked to me 23 years ago

Nice!
Also:
Subdecay's new Starlight has a synth built into it:
This sent me down a Subdecay rabbit hole and there are several of their pedals that are also synths. One of them is a 4 voice poly synth? What?!

Did anybody ever try the Wind Through the Trees? I nearly pulled the trigger once or twice, when financing was easier. I just didn't think it would get weird enough.
Now that they're around $200 and below, I'm kind of curious to pair it with some other stuff.
i think i just got the flanger Alex was talking about above LOL. it's a Electric Mistress clone from Big Monk called the Electric Monkstress which my brain insists on calling the Electric Mattress. haven't tested it yet.

I just got a Boss BF3, second hand, and it's super cool solid flanger!!!
I would love if it had the feedback trim inside like the old BF2, to push the resonance into self-oscillation, but It's a very well tough pedal.
Bass vs. Guitar inputs and Standard vs. Ultra gives you already 4 different tastes of flanging.
The gate/pan mod is very cool, and depending which output you use for mono operation you get either a choppy square or softer triangle tremolo effect (that goes high into ring-mod). And kudos for the momentary switching too!
