Just bought a Ibanez FL-99 Classic Flanger off Craigslist-Washington DC.....I'M BLOWN AWAY !

3 years ago I bought a Hartman Flanger. Nice with a HUGE volume bump.

I sent it back to Hartman & they "repaired " it.....STILL with a huge volume bump.

I dumped the Hartman Flanger & bought a ADA....STILL with a huge volume bump.

Plus the ADA Flanger was too busy & "difficult" to use. Also the Flanger sounded "weak".

25 years ago I played an original ADA Flanger & it killed. The one I had was a reissue.

 

I started researching Flangers. I kept hearing about The Ibanez FL-99 Classic Flanger.

Often refered to as "The ADA Killer"....& it is.....super pronounced Flanging.

Minimal volume bump & just "musical" as hell. Cost me $100USD.

I think my musical quest for a good Flanger has ended. I use this pedal alot.

The only downside....it's a big pedal.....it takes up ALOT of space on my pedalboard.

The Ibanez FL-99 Classic Flanger.If you see one, jump on it & prepare to be blown away.....

Cool - thanks for the tip!

 

I don't see a lot of people using flangers on their boards these days, but it really is a classic effect. I'm a big fan of true tape based and studio "through zero" flanging, but it's a bit hard to put everything you need for that on to a pedalboard... ;) I'll definitely check out the Ibanez if I get the opportunity.
