so there is another one of these out there. unless the "wise old guitar player" who gave my Flanger to its previous owner was you! would be pretty cool

Wise? Perhaps! If it was in London, Amsterdam or Berlin (my places of residence in the early 80s, when I gave the thing away), it's possible! I also gave away a Colorsound Flanger / ADT (the original grey one) which was noisy, horrible as a flanger, but sounded amazing in "ADT" mode. It was an astonishingly lush chorus (though noisy). Maybe I just didn't like Flangers at the time!

Flangers in the early 80s in Berlin for sure haven't been very hip.

unless your name is Graham and you drove a yellow Capri in '85 whilst living in Durham ... it doesn't seem likely

the Flanger got back to me today ... not the greatest flanger pedal i've ever played through to say the least
not that i had high expectations at first but it's pretty generic sounding and doesn't come close to my Foxrox Paradox!
here's a very rough clip i did as soon as i got the pedal - http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page_so ... D=10439117
it's a cool pedal though, i love how it looks so it's a keeper!

and thanks D_H for the fix!!

Well i never, they do exist out in the 'wild'! I know the thread is almost as old as the pedal but i am just surprised to see someone else has one. I have just been Thinning down my pedals and have a few vintage pedals to go. I was just looking for some info, it seems quite an odd / rare unit.
