Create thick flanger sounds with this modern take on a classic effect. Dial in tones ranging from slow jet plane swirls to faster, rotating speaker pulses.

"I'm Lovin It!"
Sound
Has way more capability than I have time to fiddle with. I use it mostly on very low depth and rate settings to give a chorus type fill in sound.
Features
Lots of control available. Standard BOSS casing so it matches up great with the MT-2 in my pedal string.
Ease of Use
Takes some fiddling to get things set just right. What do you expect from a stompbox with this much crammed in though?
Quality
It's BOSS. What more do you need?
Value
I rated it at a "5" simply because I bought it when I lived in Australia and I feel I paid too much for it.
