UTILIZATION
After numerous tests, the best config for me is to put the pedal in front, so before the saturation of the amplifier.
The presentation of the effect on the Ibanez site gives really want. We still deal with the model shaped by the master of the flange, which gives us the way some of his settings. Personally, I found myself as a kid with his new toy!
SOUND QUALITY
Finally, I experience a genuine flanger sound! This pedal is monstrous. You can really spend a cold, metallic effect (EHX style ELECTRIC MISTRESS) a flanger to warm and organic (style MXR EVH Flanger). Similarly, one can obtain results from the color fairly low profile until the sonic blast completely "over the top"!
The settings are complete and effective.
I notice that despite all the race of the "rate" is not linear at all: it remains in slow rotations until 3/4 and we cope with what is left to deal with a rapidly rotating (so imprecise that level). For the defense, I must admit though that the rapid rotations are not well adapted to the flanger anyway, so no regrets. Can be trusted to Mr. Gilbert!
Also note: the positions "static" (emulating a stuck wah) are very convincing and completely useful for coloring various phases of a solo instance.
I confirm the previous opinion on the quality of the voice effect in the middle position: it borders on talk box for once: I love! This is also the issue that prompted my purchase.
Last but not least, a "takeoff" is a killer: it is an effect altogether oversized living and let loose. Its grain is completely analog and its nature makes it happily unpredictable. Of course, now is the signature of Paul Gilbert so we can not use it without bowing to the virtuoso passage. on the other hand, beyond the aspect of "gadget" denounced "by some (which I deny because this mode is part of the effect), it is a platform for experimentation in this field and noisy is your imagination is the limit. Namely that Mr Gilbert already sought this outcome when combined with the MXR BLUE BOX MXR PHASE 100 in the loop (the two effects being triggered simultaneously so) in a previous config pedalboard. Today, he uses this pedal for extreme settings and uses another flanger sounds to more traditional, which enables the user to switch between "taxi" set example in siren mode and "takeoff" calibrated to the cleat by definition.
OVERALL OPINION
I use this pedal for a little less than a year and I do not get bored at all, on the contrary. Nothing aesthetically, I find it torn, which makes it a little forgotten a lot of space.
I can not believe how many different combinations that can be obtained, all being completely credible (and I have not been around).
I had the BOSS BF-2 of the past: sorry for the fans of the brand but for my taste, this thing is so vile I will do without the comparison to the fabulous AIRPLANE.
Before choosing the model IBANEZ, of course I hesitated and the EHX Electric Mistress Flanger MXR style (EVH or not) but AIRPLANE looked downright groovy over (even on youtube videos like those of andy in proguitarshop and others)!
In short, a droning pedal sexy: off ...
