Ibanez FL Mini

Ibanez · pedal

The Ibanez FL Mini is an analog flanger pedal from Ibanez's Made-in-Japan Mini Series. All-analog circuitry produces classic flanging from subtle, chorus-like modulation through to pronounced jet-flange sweeping. Controls include Depth, Regeneration, and Speed. True bypass with quiet, click-free switching and no output volume change when engaging the effect.
