New Gear Day (NGD): MXR Micro Flanger

Awesome analogue tone

Ever since I reviewed the Ibanez AF2 Airplane Flanger I’ve had the hankering for a flanger pedal. I really want to get the AF2, but it’s just not in my budget right now. The MXR Micro Flanger was announced earlier this year at NAMM, and as soon as I heard some good sound samples, and found out the price I knew I wanted it.

With it’s analogue Bucket-Brigade technology, true-bypass, and simple control interface the Micro Flanger definitely looked like a winner to me.

I brought the Micro Flanger home today as an early birthday present, and even though I’ve only had a short amount of time playing with it, I’ve found some great settings that perfectly suit some of the new music I’ve been working on.

I’ll be spending some time playing with it over the next few weeks, and will have a review for it soon.
