Behringer Unveils Affordable Analog Flanger & Wah

Breaking news for guitarists and synth players: Behringer has just dropped two new stompboxes that are set to disrupt the budget effects market. Bringing heavily sought-after vintage 1970s modulation back to the masses, the new Behringer Pedal Flanger and Parapedal Wah Filter deliver all-analog, studio-grade tones at impossibly low price points.

In an era where digital modeling dominates, and boutique analog pedals command premium price tags, Behringer is flipping the script. Priced at just £64.00 and £59.99 respectively, these two new releases prove that capturing warm, organic, all-analog character doesn't have to break the bank.

Here is everything you need to know about the latest affordable analog magic hitting the pedalboard market.

The Behringer Pedal Flanger: '70s Modulation for Just £64.00

Based on one of the rarest and most influential flanger circuits in guitar history, the Behringer Pedal Flanger packs four distinct modulation flavors into a single, rugged enclosure. Whether you are hunting for a subtle chorus-style shimmer, a lush rotary speaker swirl, rich vibrato, or a full-on, aggressive jet-plane flange, this pedal delivers.

The true star of the show is the pedal's all-analog circuit, which generates the warm, organic movement that digital emulations notoriously struggle to replicate.

Unprecedented Control and Real-Time Shaping

Behringer has designed this flanger for both the "set-it-and-forget-it" player and the hands-on sonic explorer. The pedal features two distinct operational modes:

• Auto Mode: Delivers smooth, LFO-driven sweeps for classic, rhythmic modulation.
• Manual Mode: Disengages the LFO, allowing you to control the filter position directly via the integrated expression foot pedal for real-time manipulation.

Dialing in your tone is incredibly intuitive thanks to dedicated Spread and Intensity controls. The Spread knob sets your sweep range—from gentle detuning to dramatic sonic shifts—while the Intensity knob controls feedback and circuit resonance, pushing the pedal from gentle widening to wild, psychedelic washes.

The Parapedal Wah Filter: A Studio Secret Weapon for £59.99

For players who demand more character than a traditional wah-wah can provide, Behringer introduces the Parapedal Wah Filter. Priced at an astonishingly affordable £59.99, this stompbox is directly inspired by a cult-classic 1970s filter effect that became a secret weapon on countless vintage funk, rock, and fusion records.

Expressive Dual-Peak Analog Response

Unlike standard wah pedals, the Parapedal Wah Filter boasts a unique dual-peak response. As you rock the treadle across its incredibly wide sweep, the pedal glides through two distinct frequency peaks. This creates a highly vocal, formant-like quality that mimics human speech. It excels at throaty leads, classic "quack" rhythms, and dramatic, synth-like filter sweeps.

Because the signal path is entirely analog, the pedal reacts dynamically to your picking hand. The filter's natural saturation provides a touch-sensitive, musical immediacy that digital units simply cannot match. Whether you are carving out space in a dense modern mix or chasing authentic retro funk tones, the Parapedal reacts instantly to your playing dynamics.
