Ibanez FL9 Flanger

Description of the Ibanez FL9 Flanger

Flanging is a time delay effect using very short time delays mixed together with the input (dry) signal. This creates a series of peaks and notches in the signal's response through the audible spectrum. When the time delay is varied, the peaks and notches move or "sweep." The FL9 Flanger features an extremely quiet time delay section creating an unusually noise-free flange. The sweep and width may be changed as well as overall time delay. This allows the artist to center the flanging action in a particular part of the sound. Flange intensity may be adjusted with the feedback control. The Ibanez FL9 Flanger provides quality and flexibility that defies comparison.

When it comes to compact effects, nine is the magic number. There are sound reasons why, twenty-five years after they were first made, you still see these effects in players' rigs. If you missed out on getting one of these classics the first time around, it's time.
