Value For Money :
Correct
What are the effects or types of effects available?
Analog Flanger.
What technology is used? (Analog, digital, tube ...)
Analog.
Are they edited? Via an editor Mac / PC?
You can change the rate and regen.
What is the connection? (Audio / MIDI)
Classic: an input and an output jack (mono), a standard 9V power jack.
Is this a rack or rack-mount model?
No. Metal box that inspires confidence.
Ultra compact, good size pots are ideal for settings in "live". The pedal has a true bypass. Making power is on the side, which is just broken-up but otherwise is very good.
UTILIZATION
The general configuration is it simple?
In view of the impressive number of knobs, hard to get any easier.
One dose rate feedback (regen) and rate (rate) and it's good ...
Editing sounds and effects is it easy?
In fact, yes
The manual is clear and sufficient?
Yes. Examples of sounds.
There still difficult to get any easier. Some would say too simple for a fact that has multiple knobs settings on other models. We know what to expect which is not made for tweakers and other geek pedals.
SOUND QUALITY
The effects are they effective, responsive and realistic enough?
Yes. We obtain the grain "MXR" that flatters the ear as well known.
Difficult to obtain chorus or flanger swirling tunnels but the settings are quite thin, the flanger is pretty versatile.
For cons, the lack of "fishing" as one can have with models like the BF-3 or DOD FX747. It's true that a real speed control but lacks a little playing with the spleen, it's OK.
Which instruments do you use?
LTD MH400 increase in EMG 80/85.
Which ones you prefer, you hate?
As I am in the flanger rhythm, I tend to get the regen to 1. As for the spleen, I adapted to the tempo of what I play.
A flanger more suitable for coloring to establish a solo rhythm. It's good without being exceptional.
OVERALL OPINION
How long have you use it?
Few months.
What is so special that you like most and least?
Plus:
- Simplicity
- Compact
- Sounds and sound immediately
- Grain MXR (for those who love)
- Finesse SETTINGS
Minimum:
- Difficult to get the extreme flanger chorus and flanger tunneled
- Grain MXR (for those who do not like)
Have you tried many other models before buying it?
Not bad. Boss BF3 Flanger Digitech Stereo, FX75C Dod, Dod FX747, Boss BF2, BF2 MIJ, Boss BF1, Psychoflanger Danelectro, Danelectro hashbrowns ...
How would you rate the quality / price?
Honest ... Just for € 110 limit because it was really low settings. Especially since the MXR does not spend 10 years designing this pedal. After the build quality is at the appointment.
With experience, you do again this choice? ...
No, in fact I sold it but it's still a foot right for those who want a simple flanger for his colorful sound. In addition, it is very good on a solo but less interesting (obvious?) In rhythm, I use mainly. I am also a manufacturer with such a tempo flanger built (other than the BF3).
Finally, the fact that I use with active pickups can be changed quite a difference.
BRIEF:
A good flanger, compact, simple-sounding but offers little possibility of setting although they are quite thin and precise. Try again.
