@@jjthomchickmusic I thought chorus was my favorite effect but it's been a subtle flanger this entire time that I've been hearing on records. Such a versatile effect!
OK, when you are playing "Unchained"... how do you get the flanger to alternate between ascending and descending in each series of "chugs"? I've watched many videos on this and NO ONE has ever explained it!
Hmm, I honestly never thought about that. I don't know, but if I had to guess I'd say the flange is continuous even when the pedal isn't engaged, and the tempo of the song just happens to line up with the change in direction.
Great review! Have you ever tried to replicate the EVH button tone manually with the knobs, to see where they would need to be set for his settings? Thanks!
Thanks! Yes, EVH button settings are something like: Manual: 3 o'clock Width: 3 o'clock Speed: 8-9 o'clock Regen: 3+ o'clock So you can basically have 2 sounds set, dial one in yourself, then press the EVH button when you want. If you're in your bedroom playing in your socks you might be able to hit it with your toe, haha.
There seems to be a common problem with these where the speed control does not function and the unit is stuck in fast speed setting. the EVH preset seems to work perfectly fine otherwise. If you want to use your own settings and your speed control does not function you'll have to get it repaired. BS that MXR is charging for this repair since it is a well know defect of this pedal.
@@97warlock Well, the MXR M-117R is $169, and the EVH is $189, so you'd be paying $20 more for the cool design and EVH button. The Boss flanger is a comparable price, but TC Electronic is cheaper. I'm a huge fan of Eddie and just had to have the stripes.
The manual knob is interactive with the width knob. Try it with the width turned down
Great demonstration and spot on how he turns on and off the effect. Nice!!!
Thank you!!

Thanks Bro. This is the most honest review I've seen yet. Looking between this and an Electric Mistress Stereo.
Glad it was helpful!
Nice down in a hole riffing!
Thank you!

Excellant demo.

Hi. So this flanger can simulate the chorus and phaser sounds too ? Thanks.
Yes, if you turn off the feedback it essentially becomes a chorus.
for the money ........Id rather have an Mxr phase 90 or even phase 101
I have a phase 90 as well, absolutely love it! Definitely another essential part of Eddie's tone, and yes, much cheaper.
@@jjthomchickmusic i considerd getting this pedal in the video, then realized id be paying nearly $100.00 for the cool design

Jesus christ is coming repent choose him today,he loves you
I just ordered this pedal. Can he wait a little while? I'd like to play around with it a bit...
but 250.00
It's not cheap, but I'm not sure where it's 250.00... most places it's $190 USD.
Just bought a brand new one off Ebay for $149.
I stopped when he said line six flextone" it's a great amp"
Sorry, it kind of is 🤷♂️
