PRS Wind Through Trees Flanger

PRS Wind Through the Trees – analogue dual flanger pedal with independent LFO controls

The PRS Wind Through the Trees is an analogue dual flanger pedal for electric guitar, featuring two independently adjustable flanger circuits. By combining two separate low-frequency oscillators, LFO 1 and LFO 2, the pedal creates everything from subtle, sweeping modulation to complex, intense flanger effects. Each flanger features dedicated Manual, Depth and Rate controls, while shared blending, feedback and high-frequency controls offer extensive opportunities for shaping distinctive modulation sounds.

What sets Wind Through the Trees apart from a conventional flanger is the interaction between its two separate modulation movements. One flanger can operate at a slow rate while the other sweeps more rapidly, producing evolving patterns with a unique sense of movement. The LFO Fader adjusts the balance between the two circuits, while Wet/Dry Mix determines how much processed signal is blended with the original guitar tone. With analogue signal processing, true bypass and USA design and manufacturing, Wind Through the Trees offers flexible modulation for stage and studio use.

Features and benefits

Two analogue flanger circuits in one pedal

Wind Through the Trees contains two independently adjustable flanger effects that can operate together. When the circuits use different settings, their sweeps interact to produce complex modulation patterns. Adjusting the balance between them allows everything from familiar single-flanger sounds to experimental effects featuring constantly evolving movement and texture.

Independent Manual, Depth and Rate controls

Each flanger circuit has three dedicated controls. Manual adjusts the starting character of the sweep, Depth determines the modulation intensity and Rate controls its speed. Independent settings allow the two flangers to operate at very different speeds and modulation depths, providing significantly greater flexibility than a pedal with a single shared modulation control.

LFO Fader for blending the two flangers

The LFO Fader adjusts the balance between LFO 1 and LFO 2. It can emphasise either circuit or combine both in different proportions. This provides a straightforward way to create more traditional flanger sounds or layered effects in which each modulation movement contributes differently to the overall tone.

Wet/Dry Mix for precise effect balance

Wet/Dry Mix controls the balance between the original guitar signal and the processed flanger sound. Lower effect levels introduce subtle movement that can add character to chords and clean tones, while higher levels make the sweeping modulation more prominent. This allows the pedal's intensity to be adjusted to suit different instruments, amplifiers and musical applications.

Regen Rate for pronounced flanger effects

Regen Rate controls feedback within the flanger effect, influencing how strongly its distinctive resonant sweeps are heard. Lower settings are suitable for gentler modulation, while increased feedback can produce more intense and clearly defined flanger sounds. Combined with the two independently controlled LFO circuits, this provides additional options for creating complex, evolving effects.

Added Highs for greater clarity

The Added Highs control allows upper frequencies to be emphasised, helping retain clarity and picking definition when using more pronounced modulation settings. It can be used to make a darker flanger sound brighter and more present without changing the individual LFO settings, offering another useful stage of tonal adjustment.

Analogue circuitry with true bypass

The PRS Wind Through the Trees uses analogue circuitry to generate its flanger effects. When disengaged, true bypass switching routes the guitar signal around the effect circuitry. A dedicated footswitch allows the modulation to be activated or bypassed during performance, making the pedal easy to integrate into an existing guitar setup.

Flexible 9 V power options

The pedal can operate from a 9 V battery or a compatible regulated or isolated 9 V DC power supply with centre-negative polarity. Current consumption is 22 mA. Neither the battery nor the external power adapter is included. The pedal can be used independently or integrated into a larger pedalboard with suitable power distribution.
