The PRS Wind Through the Trees dual analog flanger pedal is best described as two flangers fighting each other, resulting in a sound reminiscent of the wind whipping through the trees. With Manual, Depth, and Rate controls per flanger as well as global Regeneration and Added Highs, Wind Through the Trees offers nearly endless tonal possibilities. Bottom line, Wind Through the Trees offers hours of fun for any player.
What’s better than the jet plane whoosh of an all-analog flanger? Two of them loaded into a single stompbox! The PRS Wind Through the Trees Dual Analog Flanger pedal gives you access to everything from a subtle swirl to all-out modulation madness, courtesy of two all-analog flangers with their own dedicated Manual/Depth/Rate LFO controls. A single Mix knob allows you to sweep between a full 50/50 split for each flanger or a subtle mix of the two — this setup is perfect for achieving everything from ultra-fat double-flange to two screaming flangers pulsing against each other to the tamer tones of a traditional single flanger pedal. Finally, the global Regen and Added Highs knobs provide significantly more tone-sculpting power than your typical flanger, all adding up to an exceptionally versatile pedal that’s more than worthy of the PRS title!
PRS describes the Wind Through The Trees as the sound of “the wind whipping through the trees,” and we have to hand it to them, it’s a rather apt description of this psychedelic stompbox. Since both flangers have their own dedicated Manual/Depth/Rate controls, you can set both at similar settings for a super-saturated single flange tone or tune them to wildy different positions, forcing each flanger to battle it out for sonic supremacy! Lastly, a Mix knob allows you to perfectly dial in how much of each flanger you need – you can even dime it to a single side for traditional single-flanger tones.
In addition to the impressive array of per-flanger controls, the Wind Through The Trees also sports several global controls to dial in your ideal modulation tone. An Added Highs knob does exactly what it says on the tin, boosting the pedal’s high frequencies to give your signal a healthy dose of cutting clarity — a feature that Sweetwater guitarists find is indispensable when exploring the Wind Through The Trees more complex settings. Looking to crank up the intensity? A simple twist of the Regen knob will take even the tamest settings straight into experimental territory.
