MetaFlanger Black Friday pricing takes 69% off this Waves flanger plugin, bringing it to $29.99 until Nov 26, 2026.
It is a flanger VST built to reproduce the sound of 60s tape-reel flanging for vocals, guitars, drums and full mixes.
The maker's pitch is that plenty of plugins give you a flanger sound, but MetaFlanger aims at the specific one from that period.
The core is thru-zero flanging, which re-creates the null points of true tape flanging. That is the part that gives the effect its swoosh.
Flip the phase and you get either "hollow" or "zinging" flanging tones.
Delay times run from 0 to 50 ms. At the short end you get phasing and flanging, and at the longer end chorusing and doubling.
The maker lists these uses for it:
The stereo spread parameter collapses cleanly to mono, so a wide flange won't hollow out your mono playback.
High and lowpass filter modes let you thin or warm the flanged audio, which helps when the effect is eating too much low end or sounding too bright.
You can sync the effect to the host or run it manually. A stop button freezes the effect in place when you want to hold one moment of the sweep.
The Link option makes depth and modulation work in tandem, so one move changes both.
34 presets ship with it, including artist presets from Grammy winners. They give you a starting point to dial in from.
On Mac, MetaFlanger runs on macOS Monterey 12, Ventura 13, Sonoma 14 and Sequoia 15, in VST, AU and AAX formats.
On PC, it needs Windows 10 or later and comes in VST and AAX formats.
