Mr. Black crams old-school BBD-style tones into the $99 Mini Flanger
Seriously compact modulation pedal unveiled
Not content with releasing a well-received overdrive, chorus, tremolo, octaves, reverb and delay, Mr. Black has furthered its quest for mini-pedal domination with the Mini Flanger.
Based on classic BBD flange sounds, the flanger pedal offers three controls: width, recycle (regen) and rate.
According to Mr. Black, the tones “span dark-wave to post-rock with aqueous whale-calls”. Should be versatile, then.
Elsewhere, the pedal offers true bypass and 9V power-supply operation, so there should be no problems integrating it into your pedalboard.
The Mini Flanger is available now for $99 from Mr. Black.
