MXR Flanger/Doubler Pedal - Blue

From Eddie Van Halen's lush analog modulation to Dimebag Darrell's famously always-on doubling effect, the original MXR Flanger/Doubler rackmount unit helped shape some of rock's most recognizable guitar sounds. The MXR Flanger/Doubler faithfully recreates that legendary processor in a compact pedal format, pairing authentic all-analog bucket-brigade circuitry with dedicated Flanger and Doubler modes that deliver everything from sweeping jet-like modulation to thick, studio-inspired doubling. An intuitive control set, Mix control and Invert switch provide extensive sound-shaping flexibility, while modern features like CV connectivity and a Line Level switch make it easy to integrate into traditional pedalboards, studio setups and synth rigs. Whether you're recreating classic analog textures or exploring new modulation possibilities, the MXR Flanger/Doubler delivers legendary analog character with exceptional creative flexibility.

Authentic Flanger and Doubler Effects

At the heart of the MXR Flanger/Doubler are two distinct analog effects that capture the character of the original rack unit. Flanger mode delivers sweeping jet-like movement, metallic resonance and dramatic modulation, while Doubler mode creates the illusion of a second tightly synchronized performance, adding width, depth and subtle chorusing without overwhelming your core tone. It can also produce a short, tightly dialed slapback-style delay, giving players a broad palette of analog textures built around authentic bucket-brigade circuitry.

Comprehensive Controls for Tone Shaping

The MXR Flanger/Doubler gives players precise control over its analog modulation engine. Manual, Width and Speed controls shape delay time, modulation range and sweep rate, while the Regen control adjusts feedback from smooth, subtle movement to intense metallic resonance. A dedicated Mix control blends wet and dry signals from fully dry to fully wet, making it easy to dial in everything from understated enhancement to dramatic textures. Flip the Invert switch to reverse the wet signal's polarity and unlock everything from airy, hollow vocal-like character to a focused low-mid punch.

Modern Connectivity for Flexible Integration

While faithfully recreating the sound of the original rack processor, the MXR Flanger/Doubler is designed for today's creative rigs. CV In and Out connections allow integration with synthesizers, sequencers and CV-capable expression pedals, opening new possibilities for synchronized modulation and experimental sound design. A Line Level switch optimizes performance with hotter signals, while dual LEDs provide real-time visual feedback of delay time and modulation movement for quick adjustments in any environment. Whether you're chasing vintage analog modulation or creating entirely new soundscapes, the MXR Flanger/Doubler combines classic analog tone with modern flexibility.

MXR Flanger/Doubler Pedal: FAQ

What is the difference between the Flanger and Doubler modes on the MXR Flanger/Doubler?
Flanger mode produces sweeping, jet-like modulation with metallic resonance, while Doubler mode creates the effect of a second, slightly offset performance for added width, subtle chorusing or short slapback-style delay. Switching between the two modes lets you cover a broad range of classic analog modulation sounds.

Can the MXR Flanger/Doubler be used with synthesizers or other CV-compatible gear?
Yes. Dedicated CV In and Out jacks allow the pedal to integrate with synthesizers, sequencers and CV-capable expression pedals for expanded control over modulation and creative performance workflows.

Does the MXR Flanger/Doubler work with line-level signals?
Yes. A dedicated Line Level switch optimizes the pedal for both instrument- and line-level sources, making it suitable for pedalboards, effects loops, rack equipment and studio setups.

Who is the MXR Flanger/Doubler designed for?
The MXR Flanger/Doubler is well suited for guitarists seeking vintage analog flanging, studio-style doubling and experimental modulation textures. Its authentic bucket-brigade circuitry, extensive controls and modern connectivity make it equally at home on traditional pedalboards and more advanced studio or hybrid synth rigs.
