Nothing beats the MXR Flangers. I was doing some comparisons last night.

They all sound slightly different.

For whatever reason I’ve had horrible luck with the few vintage MXR Flangers from weird microphonic squeal to lackluster swoosh. I know they mostly sound great but I gave up and just got the modern EVH. I don’t like the buffer so I run it in a dual looper pedal along with a Vibe that also mucks with your tone.

But for that thing they are great.

Like any vintage piece, you could have had some bad units… plus people like to fuck around with stuff, so they open up pedals and start turning the micro trim pots, which then makes the pedal sound like crap. Of course I’ve messed with those internal pots, but I know how to set them. 🤣
