MXR M 117R Flanger Pedal for Guitar
If you have been considering buying some effects flange pedals for your guitar, it is likely that you're looking in the wrong places if you are not check out what MXR has to offer. The company makes the best sounding, most well bit, least size consuming pedals on the market and I could not be more pleased with their products. Nearly every single pedal that I have tried sounds top notch. In comparison to competing pedal makers, MXR makes the same products in half the size and they sound twice as good.
The MXR M 117T Flanger Pedal for Guitar is one that you will want the moment you try it out. If you are after a flange pedal, I would say that you can just buy this one on the internet without even trying it out. The pedal's analog modeling offers a tone that is as pure as heaven. Manual, Width, Speed and Regen allow you to interact with playful tones dedicated to expanding the shores of your guitar wash.
You can control the waves with Width. You can make them extremely long and exaggerated or short and punchy. Speed will increase or decrease the velocity at which each wave passes. Regen will act as the effect intensity control. Manual provides a balance for the effect on your signal. Use this to create the ideal mix of flanged wetness with bare dryness.
I think what you will notice about this pedal is that it is silent. So many flange units can cause a hissing noise from you amplifier. In that hissing noise, you will actually hear the wavering flange. For extremely soft parts in dynamic changes, you cannot have a device that does this. It blows your cover. It negates from the work you put in to playing quietly and cautiously.
So many companies are producing effects pedals that are just over the top. When you have devices that have 50 different capabilities and features, it can be great. One thing to pay close attention to, however, is the integrity of each individual effect. There is a special craft in making a pedal sound as good as it can possibly sound. There is merit in having a pedal with crazy capabilities but it should not outweigh the fact that the effects need to resound with conviction. MXR is creating some of the coolest effects on the market and I continue to be amazed at how much clearer they sound than others that make the same bold promises.
Rather than being solely digitized and having a setting that is supposed to sound like analog, MXR takes the high road. Most of their pedals are constructed in full analog for the purest tone possible. It may seem like this is not a big deal. The difference is immense. Picture the difference in quality between a solid state peavey head and a Sunn Model T tube head. The same proportion applies in the balance between digital and analog pedals. Some people might not care. Though once you understand the magnitude of analog effects, you will never be able to have complacence in most digital versions.
The MXR Micro Flanger is a powerful pedal and more compact that any others like it. Due to the awesome, intelligent design, this tiny pedal can fit in any space on your board and provide earthy tones to liven up any part of your songs. The pedal has two knobs for Rate and Regen. Rate will allow you to designate a speed for your flange waves to reappear. Regen will handle the intensity of the effect on your signal.
This pedal has the standard single input and output on either side. It can be powered by an adapter to avoid spending a fortune on 9 volt batteries. The pedal has an LED indicator light to keep you aware of the position the pedal is in. With true bypass, your rig will never lose an ounce of juice because it is impossible for this pedal to detract from it.
A brilliantly tiny, wonderfully affordable, shimmering example of what pedals these days should be trying to replicate!
At $170, it may seem like a pricey investment. Compared to a lot of other flange, this actually is a little steep. I advise you checking on Harmony Central and finding other user reviews. So many folks are boasting about their MXR flanger exceeding ten years of age and still running with strength!

boost pedal build( damn 20 characters thing is this enough?)...?
i want o build a boost pedal. nothing fancy. no tubes or anything. something like an mxr micro amp. i just need something to do over the summer. to build a pedal do you have to do all that etching stuff on the copper board. cant you just use wires or will that not work. im good with electronics but the thought of having extremely corrosive liquid in front of it scares the crap out of me.
Oh, hell no! I would never touch copper etching in a million years, for that same reason!
There are sheets that you can buy (go to your local Radio Shack, for instance) that are some kind of plastic with tons of tiny holes in 'em. (perfboard? something like that) Poke your component leads through those holes and use wires to solder 'em together. As long as you solder correctly you will have no problems. I highly suggest getting a vacuum desoldering tool - desoldering braid just pisses me off!
There are tons of resources out there for something like this.... Geofex.com, for instance.
I highly recommend doing some technical reading - not too deep - on the technology of the Tubescreamer. The TS is a great pedal - versatile, great sound, and more importantly low component count - the simplest version of the circuit I've seen has less than 20 components, for instance!
Runoffgroove.com is another great resource - many of the schematics have articles explaining the circuitry in some degree of detail. I strongly recommend you read up on the "fetzer valve", it explains with some degree of clarity how to use a J201 jfet in a gain stage. Jfets are awesome - mostly because A) they're cheap, B) you can adapt circuits from tube schematics without too much difficulty, C) they have a similar transfer curve as tubes, and D) they're cheap!
Learn about buffers - link below - they're one of the two basic components in any gain stage, whether inside an amp or pedal. I have a buffer preamp installed in my guitar, and I urge you to consider doing it yourself... its a great starter project, and you should notice an immediate improvement in tone, especially if you normally use long lengths of cable. Buffers, especially onboard, let you use longer lengths of cheaper cable without any tone suckage! The 4th schematic on the buffer link below is a great way to go, similar to the one I have on my guitars now.... a 6-component project? Seriously? Good times!
I'm big (if you can't tell) on learning about what the circuits themselves do - that way you can tweak 'em to your heart's content. "Cook your own distortion" link below is a good introduction for this.
I've got tons of links, suggestions, etc.... if you like, feel free to msg me, I can offer what I know.
Google "jfet booster pedal schematic", or "mosfet booster pedal schematic".... mosfets and jfets are two of the nicest sounding components you can use for gain/overdrive/distortion, and Jfets especially are pretty dang cheap, even at Radio Shack... although I recommend mouser.com, of course!
Oh yeah.. google "j201 guitar pedal schematic" for plenty of ideas on how to use jfets.... the J201's are plenty cheap, so lots of people use 'em. =)
Good luck!
