Roland SBF-325 Voltage-Controlled Rack Stereo Flanger seen below what looks like a Roland DEP-5
This undated advertisement show's Andy's rig with an SBF-325 unit in the rack directly behind him. It is the fifth down from the top.
There is also 'modern' audio gear in the racks: two Avalon VT737 input channels, two Chandler Germanium compressors, a Demeter Stereo Tube Direct and two Urei 1176 compressors, along with some vintage Ibanez (AD230), Ensoniq (DP4), Korg (SDD2000) and Roland (SBF325) effects — an essential ingredient of the AIR sound from the beginning. In the studio itself, there's a Yamaha grand piano, a drum kit, a vibraphone, some kalimbas, a Neumann U47 microphone and Godin's collection of guitar and bass amps.
In the video titled "Joris Voorn Studio Jam | Melodic Techno - Korg 2600 M," Joris Voorn can be seen using the Roland SBF-325 multiple times, notably at 4 minutes and 27 seconds. The knob layout and functions are an exact match, confirming his use of the device.

According to a list of equipment which is used in his studio, Crowdspacer, Joakim is also a user of Roland SBF-325.
Manuel Göttsching uses the Roland SBF-325 effects processor in his Studio Roma, as detailed on the Ashra website.
"In the rack there's a Roland stereo flanger/chorus (SBF325), which is excellent for keyboards; and the new Boss D200 DDL, which is totally brilliant - it has got a Hold facility and you can freeze a sound in there and trigger it from a rhythm box or a sequencer, so you can sample sounds. You can vary the pitch a bit but... I've done tracks just sampling noises - voices and things. That's fun. For the money, it is definitely good value - 300 quid or something."
