I'm a big fan of flanger for bass. It does more for me in most cases than phaser or chorus. But I really prefer analog. It's nice to see analog flangers becoming more common. This one does a great job. The range and feel of the controls is wonderful. It's somewhat subtle (but still gooey flangeiness) if your tone is all low end, but as you add mids and highs, it really shines.
The vibrato is a logical addition, and one I was happy to see. This is a true frequency-modulated vibrato, as if you are wiggling a finger on the fretboard, rather than a tremolo, which modulates volume. With only a single blend control to go from dry to flange to vibrato, you are a bit restricted, but there's still a huge tonal palette; you really need to just okay with the control to understand it.
The shape select is great to have. Sine and triangle wave are intuitive; the random setting, as far as I can tell, is random about wave shape and to some extent frequency. It's useful when you want to not be in control.
In the down position, the Voice switch just lets the other controls do their thing. In the up position, it gives a "more complex, notched" effect, with less low end. I haven't found it useful so far for bass, but YMMV.
I dearly love the paint job.
