Vintage 1980's MXR Flanger
 
If you dig Van Halen, and you play guitar, you’ve probably always wanted to be able to rock out the beginnings of both “Unchained” and “And The Cradle Will Rock…”, haven’t you? Well, there are some imitators out there, that will try to dazzle you with a bunch of nonsense and Tom Foolery, but the only way to truly get those jet engine sounds is by using the original MXR Flanger.
 
Four control knobs make up this vintage pedal: Manual, Width, Speed and Regen. Manual affects the degree of the phase shifting, the Width and Speed knobs set the intensity and speed of the time delay section, and Regen controls the amount of intensity the Flanger brings to the table. Half the fun of a pedal like this, beyond the incredible sound at just about any setting, is sitting down with it for a couple of hours (or days, if you have a lot of free time) and playing with the different settings to see what killer sounds you’re able to conjure up.
