Starlight Flanger MKIII.
A flanger inspired by the Starlight DLX
The Starlight MKIII brings back some favorite features of the Starlight DLX and introduces exciting new ones, including through-zero flanging, MIDI control, and savable presets. With an ultra-wide sweep range (0-21ms), the Starlight MKIII offers unparalleled versatility, allowing you to dial in everything from smooth, classic flanging to boldly experimental.
Starlight MKIII Flanger controls:
The Starlight MKIII offers 10 adjustable parameters and 11 flanger modes for precise sound control. Obviously there are more settings than knobs. The EDIT MODE switch changes the function of the controls.
Edit MOD/PRESET: The EDIT MODE switch changes the function of the knobs. When set to MOD PRESET, the select knob is used to switch between different presets. The top three knobs function as the classic flanger controls, RATE, DEPTH, and REGEN.
Edit COLOR: When the EDIT MODE switch is set to COLOR, the top three knobs control MIX, MANUAL, and WARP. The SELECT knob allows you to choose from 11 modulation modes.
MIX adjusts from 100% dry to 100% wet. Fully wet is great for vibrato effects. Flanger effects are usually a 50/50 mix.
MANUAL controls the flanger sweep—often called ‘frequency’ on other flangers. For traditional flanger sounds, keep the MANUAL knob at noon or higher. Turning it left can create wilder tones, especially when REGEN is set high.
WARP alters each modulation mode in different ways, giving you even more options for sound design.
Edit FINE: For fine-tuning, switch the EDIT MODE to FINE.
The GATE control acts as a squelch, particularly helpful when using extreme settings with high REGEN and wide sweeps. It cuts the flanger effect when you’re not playing.
LPF and HPF are great for refining vibrato effects or stepped LFO modulation.
Typically, these last three controls are built into a flanger’s internal design. However, with the ultra-wide sweep and variety of modulation types on the Starlight MKIII, we wanted to give you full control rather than a curated experience. You fine-tune your sound or embrace the more experimental side. It’s okay to color outside the lines.
