FL301-DX Flanger

The Ibanez FL301-DX Flanger, manufactured by Maxon in 1981, is a vintage effects pedal designed for electric guitar use. It features a sturdy construction similar to the TS-808 model, with a small rectangular on/off 'silent Q switch'. The pedal offers a bright wasp-hued design and is known for its spacious modulation effect, ranging from mild and subtle to wild and whacky. The pedal provides jangly, shimmering chorus tones, a soaring 'jet aircraft' swoosh, and atonal ring modulator-like edginess. The FL301-DX Flanger includes the following features:

- Made in Japan by Maxon in 1981
- 'Speed' knob controls the rate at which the effect cycles
- 'Regen' knob controls the intensity of the effect
- 'Width' knob controls the depth of the effect
- LED indicator light to show when the effect is in use
- Ibanez footswitch turns the effect on and off
- Standard ¼” input and output mono jack sockets
- Powered by external DC power supply or by 9V battery
- Black 'Made in Japan' label on the base of the pedal
- 'Maxon' battery compartment cover

The FL301-DX Flanger is highly collectible and sought after for its vintage analog warmth and charm. It is a durable pedal with a beguiling warmth and charm, offering a welcome antidote to the clinical harshness of modern digital effects.
