- ive never been big on flanger effects...but this one won me over. it sounds just as good as any other manufacturer...and as previously posted can feedback into itself with some interesting results...a good buy at a generally decent price...
- Good Points: still being made...so still realatively cheap...
- Bad Points: stupid plastic, with weak knobs...
- Price Paid: US$22.00

- got this pedal a little damaged, but all it needed was a new battery connector and it was back to life. this one's old but isn't nearly as hissy as expected. in fact it's pretty damn quiet, which i assume is due to arion noise reduction circuitry within the board. i gave it a trial run in normal mode by feeding it loops from a circuit-bent casio. it made some pretty boring sounds into much more usable material simply by adding some subtle change. the next step was to see how it does in a feedback mode. running it through other effects proved to be very interesting, i got some fairly "forbidden planet" kind of sounds. good for time displacement loops. so to sum up, it's not an end to itself but certainly a good jumping point for some good soundfields. since these don't have one of the big names, they seem to go for more reasonable prices, i'd recommend this one and i'm looking forward to collecting more by this company.
- Good Points: cheap, simple, self-oscillates well in both a direct patch (one of the outputs into the input, other output to the mixer) or in an aux loop with the pedal's channel feeding itself via the aux send. with more effects on the tail this thing is a gem.
- Bad Points: honestly can't complain. there's the inherent cheese of any flanger but it's very usable. wouldn't mind having independent controls for each output, but hey this thing is from what, 83? maybe i'll just find another one.
