MGR/Billy « Ibanez CF-7 Chorus / Flanger »
Published on 11/08/10 at 15:00This is the silver Chorus Flanger combo pedal put out by Ibanez as part of the Tone Lok series.
I traded a friend for it. Brand new they for $60 with a free power supply from American Musical Supply.
What sold me on it was the sloppy, dirty analog sounding chorus. It nailed the Andy Summers' tone on some of the early Police records. When you messed with the knobs it affected the pitch. The speed, depth and delay are more than I could ever need.
It is a noisy non-true bypass pedal. I only see this pedal working out jamming or on stage. Recording with it would be a hassle. I would not suggest it for a mellow jazz setting either.
The flanger effect was very unimpressive to me, but I loved the chorus tone.
The box it built strong. It is a rugged metal. It could definitely take some abuse. The 'set and forget' knobs are pretty cool. You more getting a cool sound at practice then losing the settings in transit.
This pedal is very rock n roll. It's sloppy, loud, can take a few punches and will come back next weekend for more! If you want an 80s analog chorus sound but can't shell out the big bucks for an older Boss or Electro Harmonix, give this a shot.
