    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.

    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.

    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! ---->

    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 ...

    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!!! ...

    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 ...

    Cool, but the price made me step back a second, lol.
    I didn't figure it would cost that much coin.

    It will definately add a new element to your sound to figit with.
