Product Description
The MXR EVH 117 Flanger was born from another partnership between Dunlop and rock legend Eddie Van Halen, putting a new spin on classic tone! Delivering the sound that defined such Van Halen tunes as "Unchained," and "And the Cradle Will Rock," you can bring that signature tone into your setup, now with even more sonic options than the original! Boasting the same sweeping, whooshing magic you'd expect from MXR's classic flanger, the EVH 117 Flanger includes a special "EVH" switch, instantly calling up Eddie's sound on "Unchained," with the exact same Manual, Speed, Width, and Regeneration settings he used. Adorned with the signature stripes from Eddie's instantly recognizable Frankenstein guitar, you get epic tone from the MXR EVH 117 Flanger!

IF YOU CAME FOR AN HONEST REVIEW, READ THIS!
By Joel
First some quick background: I've played for over 20 years. I've played SEVERAL flanger pedals looking for the VH sound. I've owned SEVERAL Digitech processors (my mistake). Each processor had between 4 and 8 flangers 'built in' to it.NOTHING I'VE EVER PLAYED CAN HOLD A CANDLE TO THE EVH FLANGER! Seriously. Nothing has came close to this flanger.It's analog and it's great. The beauty of this pedal is, you can dial in your own settings and then simply press the EVH button to acquire the VH flange setting--allowing you to have 'your' setting and Eddie's.I have read from several sources that Eddie only used ONE setting on his flanger for all VH songs...and I believe that! While the EVH button works for Unchained, it also works for On Fire, Hear About it Later, Mean Street, The Seventh Seal, or really any VH song that a flanger was used.Ironically, the knob settings on the Amazon pic are EXACTLY the settings for the Van Halen flange, but without pressing the EVH button. --Trust me, I played with this for hours to figure out what the settings actually are. To my surprise, after having figured it out, they are on several pics of this pedal!Here are the exact VH settings:Manual: 10:00Width: 10:00-11:00Speed: 11:00Regen: 5:00 (Max)I've had a DOD flanger (yeah, remember those?), I've tried Boss, and the countless Digitech flangers built in to my processors...You really need a MXR flanger to replicate that VH flange.However, this is a 'fan's only' type pedal. The regular MXR flanger (117 I think) will do this too, but without the VH button. This is a fantastic analog flanger that will allow you to create your own flange while being able to instantly switch to a VH flange with the press of a button.I've never used a better flanger than this, and HIGHLY recommend this pedal if you are looking for a great analog and/or VH flanger.Hope you found this helpful!
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.The best flanger I have ever used
By Decibolic
I have been playing guitar since 1988 and have used everything from Rack mount processors to pedals by all the "big names" in the business. I currently own this pedal and a TCE SCF+. I can honestly say this pedal lives up to the hype. I like it better than the SCF+ for flange. The Manual knob gives you unprecedented control.The one thing I do have to caution all interested parties on is the power requirements. This pedal NEEDS an 18-volt power supply. Dunlop, EH and Danelectro all make ones that will work great with this pedal. If you attempt to use with a 9-volt supply all you will get is a lot of noise.Jim Dunlop EVH117 Mxr Evh Flanger

By Jeffrey D. Bolin
I've been a major Van Halen most of my life. I've owned several MXR pedals and have been happy with some and not so happy with others. This flanger is the best I've ever owned!!! Press the "Unchained" button in and voila! You get instant Unchained flange! I love this pedal!!!
