Ibanez FL-9 Flanger thoughts?

[wstandis]

Anyone use one of these? According to the reviews I have read they can emulate a ton of sounds? from what i have read...............

roto leslie
hard-core to subtle flange
buttery sparkle
mild phaser-like warble
lush chorus sounds
open/fixed wah sounds
steel drum sounds

They are noisy & lo-fi, but very warm as well. I've had a few of them. The one I have right now is pretty old & beat up but it sounds cool. I don't use it much, though; my Rotosphere takes up that job now.

I've had three of them. Very warm. You can tweak nice flange-chorus-trem-vibro and phaser tones.


I have a Guyatone micro flange now and I love it. The FL-9's are great old pedals. The CS-9 is my favorite chorus ever. Again, warm and round.

I don't know about the rotary sound...I've got an Arion SCH-1 that does that so well that not much else I've tried compares. But my original FL-9 is a really nice pedal. Think Rolling Stones - Shattered. It does the rest of the stuff you mentioned pretty well too.

It's the only pedal I have "from back in the day" that is worth anything, according to Ebay, etc.

Now that you mention it I should plug it up and see if it still works.
