Go to eBay and you should be able to find ORIGINALS that are around the same price you would have paid for the reissue. In fact, you should be able to find the Dunlop reissue fairly easy as well.

I think Eyes is going for the EVH setup, so he'd better stick with the MXR. However, the ADA is a great flanger as well.

I've heard the Dunlop reissue doesn't sound as good as the original...any truth to that?

The Dunlops seem a bit quieter than my original does, but I think the originals sound warmer as a whole. Also, you don't have a wall wart with the original. :D

I have heard just about every flanger out there, and there are some great ones...but if you want the DEAD ON Unchained 'chug', etc. then the MXR is the way to go.

He better get rid of that 5150 II and get a Marshall Plexi then.
I had my 5150 II modified to eliminate the Van Hagar tone that comes stock in those fuckers.
I don't use 6L6 tubes anymore, it's EL34's all the way and the bias has a ton more range than stock.
But it isn't exactly the VH old school tone either, but it's bitchin for sure, and more like a Soldano than a Marshall.
I can fry a set of tubes in less than a minute if i'm not careful, lol.

Eyes, spare the extra pennies and find a vintage MXR Flanger. Once you learn to play through that beast you'll find it was worth the sacrifice, bro.

I'll say this for the stock 5150's though...they're fucking LOUD, lol.

I already have a "Line6 Modulator" that has both the 117 and the stereo flange/jet 80's ... it's all anologish so I can get away with it seeing how my setup is "rack free" ... hence the "quick fix" thread at DDLR ...

Aight BChimp ... going there nizow! ---->

Correct a chimp is ... how the rookies at guitar center overlooked that just browsing without the company signed in would see that the reissue is indeed there ...

I can't even make a ebay account my credit is so fooked up ... still on the hizee ...


Looking all anolog mxr to the hizzous ... excluding echo and eq and BOX1 ...

lmao ... it was just a pedal Ed rerouted tape on wasn't it? ... Flange tape? ...

I just got off the phone with one of the execs down at dunlop ... he said to expect a press release right around NAMM time ...

They're "%80 there" he added saying that the main issue with it's discontinuance was an anolog part that kept getting rarer and rarer to keep in stock ...

I guess Ed and Perry bought them out near the end ... buying the last 20 for the each of them a year and a half ago ... funny shit indeed ...

So basically Dunlop is doing a redesign to compensate for the part...hmm, I wonder which part is giving them trouble.

400 bucks worth though!? Maybe ... plus I could hop skip and a jump since the seller lives nearby! ...

Ends in 16 hrs ...


It's pretty much right out of the box ... crazy!

Oh my ... seeing how I could have it by the end of today ... I'm the highest bidder at 510.00 with a maxbid of ??? !!! ...

All of a sudden you tell me I could have THE mxr that started it all by the end of the day after all this? Damn right it's worth my maxbid;) ...


I needed specific gear ... that was 1 of them ... even though I've seen a few max around 3-400 ... fuck it ... hope the remaining effects won't take my arm off like this one will ...


BY THE END OF THE DAY!!! ...


woohoooo!!!!

I'm going nuts here folks ... ever hear of the MXR analog delay? ... Uh uh!!! ...

The delay will be my magic box that I stomp ... like my 3rd main pedal ... after the flange and phaser ...


totals right now for both 835 ...


Niiice ...

Dude, that is too high for that flanger...that seller is smoking crack.

Eyes of the Night
12-22-2004, 07:24 PM
You're right ... it's now at 860 for it ... fuck it! That delay sold for 560 to someone else ...

12-23-2004, 08:46 AM
I HOPE, on both deals it was the seller trying to raise me seeing if I would bite ...

My mxr emulator does hella better than any single flange out there thus far that I've tried and returned ...

Makes me wanna get a DL4 emulator for the sole purpose of having an echoplex ep-3 ...

Also I kept that digidelay because "in store credit" forced me to keep it ... it was the only tape delay in the house ... funny


I almost have my secure live setup of effects ... 5-6 ... not really bulky either so I won't have to HAUL the shit ...
