a while ago i decided to do something a bit risky, and buy a flanger from thomann(that bit aint risky - i trust those guys), even though i had no idea if i liked it. turns out i did the right thing, cos its one of the lushest things ive ever heard. no funny noises, no level drops/boosts, no disappearing in the middle of the sweep. it dont take anything away from the sound, and looks quite pretty too.
thing is, its just not quite mad enough. the fx level knob fades out the flanged signal at one extreme, but doesnt fade out the clean sound at the other. this in itself wouldnt really bother me, except the amount of feedback never quite goes mental enough for me.
if the feedback knob had the (currently) maximum sound a bit further down the pot, maybe halfway, and/or if the fx level knob went from fully wet to fully dry, this thing would be the best flanger ever. as it is, its one of the best flangers ever, but a little tame.
so i guess im asking if anyone knows about modding flangers, if its even possible to make the mods i mentioned above, and what i should/shouldnt expect.

its a rocktron hypnoticflange by the way, and thank you for any help.
