Musitronics/Mu-Tron Flanger

Pretty simple if you've played with enough effects....in fact as with all effects, you just keep messing around with them until you get it. 4 knobs- feedback/volume of the effect; rate/speed of the flange; start and stop/dialing in the specific range you want your flange. Very easy to get a great sound out of all the time! I only give this a 9 instead of a 10 because for those less inclined with effects it might be a little confusing at first without a manual.

This is the most beautifully organic swirl of a flange I have ever heard. I used to have an EHX electric mistress which sounded ok but this unit makes anything else I have ever heard sound like crap. Leaps and bounds better in tone (as it is with most mu-tron effects). I don't think the unit is noisy at all so if yours is, it's probably one of your amps/guitars etc or it needs to be calibrated. Anytime I buy a new mu-tron effect I send strait to Richard Lingenberg who has worked with Mike Beigel, the mu-tron designer. After getting them back from him they sound phenomenol!!!
Running this with my echoplex, EHX hot tubes, clean, reverberated, and even with my mu-tron phasor at the same time....always sounds fantastic!! The ability to sweep the flange manually is also what makes this baby really stand out!!

very dependable and solidly built.

the company is out of business but a call to mike beigel and he refrred me to Richard Lingenberg (Lsound.com) who has since become my exclusive mu-tron man and he makes everything I have sent to him sound great. He's even done some really spectacular jobs with mods I've done with my mu-tron phasors. I send every mu-tron pedal to him as soon as I get them.

I play pretty psychedelic music and use many different depths of field for my tone and this thing sunds great!! I never used aflange this much but now I use it as often as my echoplex and mu-tron phasor which are my 2 favorites!! This thing cost me a fortune, but there isn't another flanger I would trade this for and plus there weren't too many made so I'm paying for taht as well.....this pedal has pure versatility which is what I look for with a pedal. You can make this thing sound like and alien spaceship landing or very transparent and smooth, plus the ability to manually control the flange via foot pedal is really cool!

either with pedal or with out pedal similar to a wah 4 knobs one for speed to for width/wave shape and one for feedback. i like it with feedback on 10 and then just tweak the rest of the knobs

great thick sweeping flang to rapid alien like sounds.i play thru a fender twin reverb.i have a bunch of old pedal mxr electro harmonic boss ect this is my favorite next to my z vex fuzz factory and my black cat ring modulator sounds great with fuzz and some vibrato i use it for both guitar and synthesizer i play an 1962 gibson melody maker and an epiphone 335 reissue the synths i use are an arrp axxe and this homemade thing from atomic sonic made by tim kaiser look him up on the net he makes great stuff i play 60's 70's punk to experimental circuit bent noise

built like a tank i've had it for over 10 years now.i couldnt use it for a few years because i couldnt find any one to fix it.finaly i foun a guy in hollywood greg leone who fixes vintage gear.he had one remaining diode or resistor for it works great ever since i'm a little scared to fry it sinc the parts are hard to find but so far no problems

mutron out of buissnes find some one who knows how to fix these and your ok maybe the yard sale i got it from will warranty it ha ha ha

60's 70's garage punk to experimental circuit bent psych noise if it were lost or stolen i would cry and not pay 1600.00 for another one which is what i saw it going for on e bay

Sounds cool no matter what you do. Since you can choose to either manually sweep the pedal or use thier controls, the unit is extremely flexible

Unit is pretty noisy and can be used as part of the effect. The sweep range is so wide that it can take 20 seconds to complete a cycle. From Van Halen to Space ships with a turn of the speed knob.

Had some problems with the jacks. Otherwise, a very rugged box. This one was owned by Elloit Easton from The Cars. I'm pretty sure it was used extensively on the "Drive" tour. Can't complain

No longer around

One of the best pedals I own (besides the Mu-Tron Octave Divider. This pedal is pure inspiration. I only hope they bring this one back at Sovtek
