"Now, 'flange' happens to be one of those silly words that I always used. When John Lennon heard double-tracking that we'd done -- automatic double-tracking or artificial double-tracking that we'd managed to devise at Abbey Road studios --, he askedme what it *was*. And I said, 'Well, it's a bit complicated, John, you wouldn't understand. But it's all done by means of a double-vibrocated sploshing flange.' And this was sort of gobbledygook, and he looked at me for a moment and then he laughed.

The actual process being a live (or recorded) signal being mixed with a second recording of the same thing on a second tape deck, when\re the
flange of the reel is variously slowed electrically or by the thumb.
This causes changing phase relationships between the subsequently
combined signal to give the spacey effect.
Since then the effect was emulated with analogue delay-line electronics,
and more recently digitally.

Have you employed the original flanging process, Geoff?
The effects units that emulate the process are great fun.

it just fine ;- )
