Flanging dates back from the era of open reel tape recorders. The same signal was recorded on two open reel recorders, then played back, summed together and recorded onto a third machine. The tape operator would touch one of the reel flanges, the flange being the rim of the reel, briefly slowing down one of the playing machines. The short timing differences between the two playback signals in the summed signal resulted in a sweeping comb filter effect that came to be known as flanging. Modern electronic flangers use a modulated analogue or digital delay line, which was mixed back with the dry signal to cause the flanging effect.
