The MXR Micro Flanger is an analog guitar pedal that has 1/4 inch connections and is powered by either a 9 volt battery or power supply. It is built really well and is extremely sturdy, so it will last you a long time if you treat is properly. This isn't a rackable piece of gear as it is a stomp box.
UTILIZATION
The make up of the MXR Micro Flanger is about as easy as it gets as it only has the basic parameters you would expect with a flanger. It simply has knobs for rate and regeneration and having only these two knobs seems to be enough to get a good amount of different tones from this pedal. Anyone with any experience with guitar pedals won't have any trouble at all with this pedal and even if you don't have any experience I can't imagine too many people having problems with this pedal. I've never seen the manual for the MXR Micro Flanger so I don't know how helpful it would be.
SOUND QUALITY
The MXR Micro Flanger is a great sounding pedal overall and is suitable for all sorts of genres and situations. I use the pedal with a Fender Strat and a '76 Fender Twin Reverb for recording and I'm always pleased with the sounds I'm able to achieve with this combination of gear. The tone heard from the MXR Micro Flanger is really rich and full sounding and it definitely has a warm vintage tone to it. This is just a great sounding flanger pedal no matter whether you are using it for recording or live shows and don't let the ease of use fool you as it is easy to get a vast array of different flanger tones with this pedal.
OVERALL OPINION
I've been using the MXR Micro Flanger for about three years and I have found it to be an overall great sounding flanger pedal. It has an extremely warm tone and is pretty versatile despite it only having two separate knobs. These are somewhat hard to find now and the price will vary, but if you are in the market for a nice sounding flanger pedal, the MXR Micro Flanger is the real deal.
