MXR Flanger Effect Pedal Reissue Review

MXR Flanger Effect Pedal Reissue
Average Reviews:

I was looking for an original from the 70s initially, but found that they tended to cost even more than the reissue, so for pure convenience I went with the reissue and I was not disappointed.
It seems very well built, with solid metal casing and quality pots. The only thing that feels at all cheap is the thin dc power adapter cable, but it seems far more convenient than the original fat AC cable coming out.
The sound range you can create is quite versatile for a flanger. Once you get the hang of what each pot does you can quickly create anything from classic tough sweeping jet plane sounds, to softer "chorus" type effects.
It seems to really excels at its job when you provide it with a noisy or distorted signal. Such as in a chain after a distortion pedal or with a synth using a very open filter or with a noise source added to the signal chain. Part of this is probably that the effect is very easy to hear in the higher register, so the more complexity you add in the high end the more you can hear it chew that signal.
I would say it has some very specific classic uses and clearly isn't for everyone, but it does what it does extremely well.

Well worth the [...] bucks i paid. Analog with true bypass. Easy to use with one knob. And has nice high quality chorus effect. MXR built like a tank. Works with my Boss DS1 AC adapter too.

MXR Stereo Chorus Effect Pedal Review

My previous pedal was an old DOD which had only had a rate and width knob. When you turn it on, it blasted overbearing chorus even turned all the way down. The great thing about the MXR is the intensity knob which allows you to control how much effect you want in your signal. So smooth. The bass and treble function is great. If you're lacking in low end, boost the bass. The LED light not only shows you when the pedal is on but also mimics the rate speed. With the width and rate all the way down, the average listener will never know its a chorus pedal and won't know how you get that great tone. I don't know if I'll ever go fully clean again. One thing worth mentioning is that the width and rate don't go Grand Canyon wide or like spastic speed but it's more than enough. Get more pedals for that anyway. I leave the low end cut on. The knob level indicators glow in the dark, good for the stage. You can actually power this with 2 9V batteries if you're crying over the adapter. Why not just buy a power brick though? Mine came with the adapter. Playing this pedal in stereo is a must. I wish there was a ping pong option because with the rate and width up high, it sounds really close to a tremelo pedal. Put delay and a little distortion next to this pedal and BAM, a single note sounds like an epic 80s solo. Very transparent. Again, intensity knob is the best. I haven't tried the BOSS chorus pedals but after this I really don't care to. I prefer the MXR footswitch over the bulky BOSS ones anyway. It's not as big as those RC20 or Memory Man double pedals FYI. Love it. Negatives? Um... I wish it came in midnight blue.

Jim Dunlop ZW38 Mxr Black Label Chorus Pdl Review

I just bought this pedal and took it home and compared it to my MXR M-134 Chorus. I used an American made Strat and a Schecter V-1 Hellraiser. I tried it through a Roland Cube 60 using a MXR MetalBore pedal for distortion and a Marshall JVM 410 half stack on both the clean and OD1 Channels. This is a really good pedal. On the clean settings it is very similar to the MXR M-134 but on the distorted settings the Black Label Chorus really shines. It had a much more dynamic feel to it and the individual notes of each chord sounded much better. Bottom line is that if you already own an MXR M-134 and use clean settings than it may not be worth picking up but if you don't own the M-134 or play with distortion I would recommend that you consider this pedal.
