FX75C Stereo Flanger

The sound quality is good. Again it may take a little time to get the sound you want. I use my Fender Strat > Dunlop cry baby Wah > Dod Flanger > arion digital reverb > Ibanez ts9 > Ibanez ts7 > Fender Super 210. The flager sounds good with the distotion or without.

I do not use a back up. Although if it didn't work I can still play the gig without a flanger.

This pedal is somewhat easy to use. It takes a bit of practice to come up with the sound you like. I didn't get a manual as I bought it used, but if you know what sounds good to you you don't need it.

Never had to deal with the company.

I play acoustic, Blues, to Rock and Roll. I have been playing for about 30 years or so. There may be better sounding stereo flangers out thee but I haven't heard them.

My favorite flanger, alls I can say is, if you like the old vintage flanger sound, like the vintage Ibanez flanger, get this pedal! You really don't get that stupid "plane flying over your head sound" which is a good thing, that is the sounds all these new flanger have, the dumb plane sound, luckily the DOD flanger doesn't have it! You can get some insane sounds out of it, like robotic computer sounds, chorus, fast tremolo, thick or light flange, and cool tube sounds that make you sound like you are playing in a really long tube or something, very awesome pedal, you really have to buy this! The level knob is great, you can adjust the volume nicely. Tom Morello uses a vintage ibanez flanger, you can get the exact same sound out of this pedal!

No need for backup, except the button you step on to turn the effect on or off is plastic and seems a little iffy to me, like it could go out at any time? But, never failed me yet and I've had this pedal for 9 years!!!!!!!! It's in perfect condition, no scratches, not beat up, sounds brand new along with looking brand new! If this pedal has lasted me 9 years, almost 10, then it'll keep going!

As simple as all the other compact pedals. Definitly check out the manual for this pedal to try out some of the cool sample settings they have for you, this pedal makes some awesome sounds!

Never dealt with em.

i think this pedal sells for only $40 or $50 now, I bought it back when it cost $70, awesome deal for it now! I say it's the best flanger, it has a ton of awesome sounds you can get out of it, and I mean a lot! I don't like these new flangers with the stupid plane sounds, so luckily if mine gets stolen somehow I can go out and buy a new one nice and cheap rather than wasting almost $100+ on some new, stupid flanger that only makes one sound! If you need a flanger or want one, go with the DOD Flanger, it has a bunch of different sounds, you gotta fool around with it or check out the manual to hear some of the sounds you can get, very versatile pedal, a ton of great sounds, you gotta buy it!!! Trust me, it's a good one, I've been playing guitar for 11 years, I have a ton of fx pedals, about 30, I have 2 or 3 flangers, Boss, some other company, and the DOD, the DOD is the best!

I use:  Fender Strat or Epiphone LP, through a cry baby, then this flanger.  Into a Legend 50w 1x12 combo.  The effect itself sounds great, it is a little noisy, but then again whenever you introduce something into the signal chain you get a little noise.  Not intolerable really, and I've used it live.

Frigging hell, it's metal.  No backup needed.  I'd say as tough as an mxr box.

Easy if you understand what the knobs are.  You do have to fiddle to get the exact sound you want..  and..  it isnt entirely east to change sounds mid set.  Manual?  yeah oky if you call it that.  It generically explains the controls.

nah, never dealt with them.

We play classic and modern rock, pretty much everything in the category.  I use this for:  the beginning of Barracuda, and for mellow passages in other songs.  I use it to achieve an almost keyboard sound for the beginning of Jane.  I use it for the verses of Sweet Child O Mine.  It works goodly :)  I am able to get the sounds I need for the gig.
