Great flanger. buy it to keep. If it was stolen I would buy another without thinking about it. Then I would get some payback...

Sound

I wanted a flanger with classic analog sound, like what I grew up with in the late seventies and eighties. I don't like to collect pedals, just like tone and flexability. This one nails it. It's like having 2 effects in one. yeah, a little pricey ('cause EVH needs his cut for the name), but try one out. Bring humbuckers, works great. It's a keeper.

Features

Easy to use, responsive, distinct and usefull controls. Built like a tank. Looks great. 'Nuff said.

Ease of Use

Initial 5 minutes of knob-twisting, and you can get what you want out of it from then on.

Quality

built like a tank, looks great, very distinctive and tastefully cool.

Value

Loses a little on price, but make friends with AM's at your music store like all us old guys have done for years. They'll help you out if you are cool.

Manufacturer Support

Another fine Dunlop product. If you can break this brick, you need to settle down and take your meds.

The Wow Factor

Looks awesome. I love good stomps, and this is one. It goes on the floor..twist knobs, toe it and play. Done.

So I was excited to hear this flanger which I'm not sure if he had any input on this one but the pedal when plugged in let out a shrieking high pitched noise that no matter what I did to the knobs it wouldn't go away. As zZounds is one of the best at taking care of their customers it was gladly taken back with apologies. I really like the pay as you go set up. Only thing is over the past 2 years I've had to send back numerous guitars, now a pedal for quality control issues I couldn't or wouldn't deal with being from over seas with no Q.C. This is no fault of zZounds in fact they have been the best at making my issues go away quickly. Now, this is the only place i shop for gear online.
