A guitar effect that does not work like a wah pedal. It does, however, work as a continually variable delay pedal. The delay on a flanger is too short to hear as an echo and the rate of delay expands and contracts to set intervals during a set amount of time according to how the operator programs it.
The effect is called "flange" because before the advent of flanger pedals, sound engineers and musicians would press the inside of the thumb (the "flange") onto the tape reel to slow it down and speed it up to achieve the desired effect.

Forget the flanger in anything by Simple Plan; just listen to Thru the Eyes of Ruby by the Smashing Pumpkins!

Get the flanger mug.Would you close your legs please, I can smell your rancid flange from here.
The sight that greeted me was not appealling - red, sore-looking spots surrounded her swollen flange.

Get the Flange mug.Pronounced 'flan-jing', the act of mixing two audio signals together, with one being delayed by a small and slowly changing period producing an output signal with peaks and troughs in a harmonic series. Flangers are similar to phasers (phase-shifting, beyond the scope of this definition) however, if you listen intently enough, you can hear the difference.
The flange effect can best be described (to those who never studied wave mechanics) as a jet sound; sounds like a jet aircraft passing by the listener. Phasing on the other hand sounds much more alien and "other-worldly".
While used in all sorts of different music, flangers are most heavily used in psychedelic and dreamy music where strong harmonics and a "wall-of-sound" depth are often sought - used with good reason too, flanging sounds insanely beautiful when you're as high as a kite. ;)

I was listening to Slowdive's Machine Gun shortly after returning from another galaxy. Coming down, the flanging was simply too beautiful for my human ears, so I cried and reassessed existence.

The Chinese-originated belief that the environment gives energy that you can use to your own being. Not just a belief; it actually is real.
There is actually a whole LOT to feng shui, but you should look it up on your own. Lemme give you some examples:
Take for example, a mansion. Let's say you have a mansion and it is very-well decorated. Your feng shui would be great because you feel at great leisure because of the cleanliness & well-designed room of your own.
An example of negative feng shui would be if you live in a house that is not apt to your tastes, and is possibly filled with trash, or perhaps even an enormous pig-sty. This negative feng shui will possibly foster laziness, and even psychological results such as negative emotions, doubt, etc.
Feng shui deals not only with your personal shelter, but also the environment in general.
Most unfortunately, feng shui has been perverted into a drug-related symbol thanks to the hippies, along with the yin-yang (which basically represents good & evil in us all). In otherwords, when you speak of feng shui to the general public, you're probably going to be prejudged as a nut-job. Sad really.
Hippies need to realize completely what yin-yang and feng shui mean. THEY ARE NOT DRUG SYMBOLS. They are philosophical symbols that originated from ancient China, and these symbols have deep backgrounds that is worth researching.

"My house is a pig-sty so my feng shui is horrible. But sometimes, you make do. If you want better feng shui if you're in a pig-sty house, go outside and go for a walk. Just make sure you don't get too addicted to the freedom out there, or else you'll never want to go back to your pig-sty home. That's how I am."
