Eventide Instant Flanger Mk II brings the famous analog tape flanging sound of the 1970s into your DAW. Based on the original 1975 Eventide hardware, this plug-in faithfully reproduces the warm, organic, musical character that marked iconic productions such as David Bowie's "Ashes to Ashes" and Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time."

Eventide's legendary analog flanger in plug-in format.

Instant Flanger Mk II captures all the sonic complexity and modulations typical of flanging achieved manually by tape machines. Through accurate modeling of the original hardware, the plug-in offers effects ranging from slight stereo modulations to deep, psychedelic, and highly dynamic flanging.

Vintage flanging, stereo widening and double tracking

Shallow, Deep and Wide modes modify the flanging behavior and stereo spatiality of the signal. This makes Instant Flanger Mk II ideal for widening mono guitars, enriching synths, and creating natural, musical double tracking effects perfect for modern mixes and vintage-inspired productions.

Bounce control and realistic tape machine behavior

One of the plug-in's distinctive features is the Bounce control, which simulates the unstable behavior of tape machine capstan motors when the sound engineer manually released the reel. This detail adds organic motion, analog imperfections and authentic realism to the flanger effect.

Four modes of flanging control

Instant Flanger Mk II offers several modulation modes: Manual, Oscillator, Envelope Follower and Remote. You can control flanging manually via the Big Knob, synchronize the LFO to DAW tempo, use sidechain for dynamic modulations, or manage the effect via modwheel for expressive real-time performances.

Creative processing for mixes, sound design and modern productions

With Depth, Low Cut, Sync, and Retrig controls, Instant Flanger Mk II allows you to create subtle modulations, psychedelic sweeps, stereo widening, and experimental sound design while always maintaining the musical character typical of Eventide analog processing.
