Description
Rediscover the classic sound of the 70s with the MXR M117R Flanger, a pedal that truly delivers the art of flanging like no other. This isn't your regular flanger effect, this is an authentic flanger that harks back to the golden era of rock 'n' roll.
The MXR M117R Flanger offers a diverse range of sound effects, from dynamic jet plane or cool space effects to short delay, chorus, and vibrato. Its versatility is unmatched, offering a unique tone that is warm and resonant, a quality that digital flangers simply can't replicate.
The four-knob interface allows you to tailor the sound to your liking. Dial down the Width to zero to disengage auto-sweep, then use the Manual knob to place the effect anywhere along the frequency spectrum. The Speed knob modulates the rate of the effect, while the Regen knob feeds the effect back onto itself for increasing phase effect intensity.
Whether you're a guitarist, bassist, keyboardist, or vocalist, the MXR M117R Flanger is a must-have addition to your gear. It's a true testament to the iconic flanger sounds of the 70s, and a tribute to the musicians who used them to shape the sound of modern music.

- Genuine Flanger Effect
- Four-knob interface for complete control: Manual, Width, Speed, Regen

- Power adapter included
- Works with guitar, bass, keyboards, and vocals

The ultimate flanger
All the controls you need for any flanger sounds. This 18v thing can do things no other flanger can. Vintage one is even better. I like big MXR flangers because you can not only get excellent "normal" sounds, but also super-crazy sounds (with Manual and Width low and Regen high).

From 3:18 to 3:26 the MXR Flanger Guitar Effects Pedal can be seen in the foreground on a mic stand. It's the setup Smith inherited from McGeoch when assuming his place in Siouxsie and the Banshees per this Guitar World article. Robert says in this article "It was a lot more interesting the second time I played with the Banshees and inherited John McGeoch's setup. (McGeoch has also played with Magazine, Visage and P.I.L.) He had an old MXR Flanger mounted on a mike stand."

"By popular demand… My pedal board! Designed by the illustrious Sean Cox!"
What's in the large console you use on stage? It looks very complex. "Well, actually it's not all that complex. It's a little rough to maintain. Things can get broken where it's shipped around. It's got a pair of Dynaflangers, a pair of MXR Flangers. It's got one input and four outputs – two dirty outputs and two clean outputs, all stereo. There's also two Big Muffs, Systec Harmonic Energizer – all these things are in pairs – Oberheim ECF, Eventide Harmonizer, MXR DBL, Mutron, DBX 162 compressors, Gain Brains, Kepexes, a Theremin and a Biphase. That's about it, and there's about 24 switches on the floor. I add to it every year. The Dynaflangers are on the newest thing. Oh yes, there's a Mutron Octivider and a DBX Boom Box. " - From the Guitar Player Magazine in 1979 (May-June), written down in the Zappa Wiki "Wiki Jawaka"
